now we’re in tropical depresson 12-E…and i don’t think zoloft is gonna make it stop or go away…oldtimers say they’ve never experienced the the day-after-day deluge such as we’re having…at least the streets are clean…wtf would the city send out the giant vacuum cleaner truck this morning to suck up garbage? what garbage? typical, like hosing off the sidewalks last weekend..
Lily the Prensa Libre Lady on the esquina…a no show…MDC of Salon Creativo, lo mismo…rained out, i suspect..
went to my usual bank, Banco Industrial, to pull $$$…oops, wrong, quetzal breath…closed..why? El Dia de la Raza….all the other banks are open…only in antigua, # 45…..went to the dreaded BAC on the park…ooops..gotta have two pieces of photo id…went home, brought back 5…$500 maximum and they run it thru a online terminal…screw…called my bank in the Us…well…we could stop your card…nope…’check your account’…right…
Rich N says he heard that a gringo knifed at tuk-tuk driver last night or so…why? didn’t like the fare? the ride was too rough? i can’t quite imagine a gringo doing this…maybe hit the dude with the water bottle or the flip flops, but a knife? swish army variety? (gay joke)
maybe…just maybe on Friday night at ocelot the good jazz singer/musician Wayne Hooper…9ish, after Ron on sax..so, my tabs are paid, wet clothes thrown in the corner, an incoming senorita at 4 that i haven’t met…hey…field interviews,dammit..i have umbrella #5 back, for whatever good it’ll do me later on
(update)umbrella #5 , used many times today and finally left at Ocelot…forgot it, walked home, drenched yet again…Neil C working a double per his request and you gotta love the work ethic..Edy of Pangea showing up, to open up…yeah, love that attitude also..Franklin of Whisky Bar, likewise..
‘heard that the scene of the gas explosion was…the place on 4th calle..can’t remember the name..damn, by the shop that sells greeting cards…a few folks got kinda ‘crispy crittered’…also heard that a gringo was popped in McDonalds this week for narco stuff..’great place to hide out/blend it,eh?..arrested? ooh, the cops in action!
kudos to Quinta Maconda for trying to pump Antigua as a tourist destination…saw Da Mayor walking by his self today..no driver, just yakking on the phone, like always..Carla B, back from what sounds like a great vacation..
my landlord…that horndog…wants to introduce me to a friend of his, who says ‘she wants to meet me’…’be friends, cook, make me laugh’….ok..fine..bring it on..postponed..today, at Panza Verde…Brielle DuFlon’s art show…long time ago, she started at El Muro,where I dubbed her ‘too tall’…little did I know how talented she is..typical for me..
and yes, this is a lite news nite…the idea of making rounds in soggy boots didn’t play out..tomorrow, fer sure, dude..onweird
