a long conversation with our local golf pro in Ocelot last night…he lamenting the lack of vision with his employers…to put it in some kind of perspective we live in a country the size of Tennessee but with twice the population…’run by a small group of oligarchs, similar to the Jack Daniels folks, the Coors dynasty, the Hearst’ family and so on…they like things just the way they are…why change? it works for me but then I’m of an age that i no longer really give a shit about much…so what if France goes weird and Greece goes under, followed by Spain? to keep it further in perspective, we live in a country where the largest bill is $24 and a lot of places can’t cash a 100q note..it’s charming, frequently maddening but that’s what keeps us(me)laughing every day.
‘ran into Big Paul Wever, along with Henrik/wife outside of Chez Chris last night…’how’s Wendy?’….she’s fine, traveling, having the time of her life..was just in Slovenia lately..where’s that, you ask? it’s a slice of what was Czechoslovakia(ask the delectible Gabi A for details)…can you say ‘Bratislava?’…hey, it’s close…miss G ran me thru hoops a while ago when I suggested that she was Czech…aside from all that, it was a quiet Monday night in town…Marcel of El Caz riding his bad little black bike to work(and it didn’t rain)
Tennessee? yep…minus the Hill Billies, Jethro and Ellie Mae..substitute Ron Zacapa for Jack Black and there you have it…this just in and a tad late…INGUAT’s email list, of which I’m included…just sent me the list of events for February, March and April…ooh, are they up to speed or what?…answer is ‘what?’….Walter Fischer, who used to run the local office,is long gone and it shows…dipshits…Feb, March and April? yeah, sometimes it’s charming and sometimes it’s dumb…the answer is ‘B’…
did someone say ‘road trip?’…now that ‘Banned from Belize” Bob Wheat has settled down and the latest trip involving TM and the Beige Bomb has receded into memory…there’s talk of taking a little jaunt over to Take-a-Lick Abaj…near, Ray-hoo, if you recall my adventures of last year about this time…one thing different is that having been there, stayed there and scouted out where the Ron Botran and ice is, it’s easier this time…the Beige Bomb, TM, and Mr Can’t get into Belize Wheat? sounds like something outa the electric kool-aid acid test journeys, where ‘further’ isn’t just another word..stay tuned…I gotta feeling about this..
