Our Man in Antigua

with what may be the first ‘real’ rain of the season and which is still comin’ down, let me say that I’m glad to see it…yeah, by October we’ll be pissin’ and moaning..’will it ever stop?’ the calles weren’t that deep with water(yet) and the new umbrella (#1 of the season)got loaned out to a lady friend who needed it more than I did..yeah, there were plans to got out/about/check in…truncated, aborted, cut short…

and fresh comment from a local…it’s nice to know that someone out there cares…

“Assholes Anonymous might be just what the doctor ordered for your skirt chasing, panty sniffing, bold italic, run-on sentence writing, dildo in your ass ass.”

I’m starting to wonder about the viability/longevity of a couple places on 4th calle..’thought I saw the AA meeting place moving out a day or so ago..taking the speakers rostrum out to a truck..rent increases or lack of business?  probably ‘A’ since there’s gotta be a surplus of AA members in this town or at least some who should be showing up..

incoming ribs from Bull Durhams xlnt Tecpan connection..! jameswdurham2@gmailcom if you’re into pork products..i’ve eschewed the double order of ribs and chops…cuz i eat ’em up…you know, they’re thawed and i figure that i might as welll bbq ’em…and then..well, might as well eat ’em..

so..this is a ‘quiet month’ for the food/beverage people?  i call it a ‘giant sucking sound’…Ricardos’ Tabacos y Vinos doing a nightly semi-party and for 5th, that’s about it…Red’s dead, as with everyone else in that part of town..work goin’ on at the old Reilly’s location and what it’s gonna be? no one knows or if they do, they ain’t talking to me..sometime soon, the soft opening of the old 709 place next to Fusion on 4th calle..yeah, the usual delays..$$, ripoffs, adjoining owners suing..each other…swell..

so? where’s the beef?…not here…i”m trying to wrap up a couple of articles and going out at night hasn’t seemed productive…sue me..thanks, Brendan, for offering to slough off/refer/dump some projects…no can do..’got my own deadlines..th slow drizzle outside is just perfect….the leaves glisten, the lawn soaks it up and it looks like croquet might not be on the schedule soon..

been a lot of mortars going off all day…is this like cloud seeding or what? kaboom!…make it rain!  as i said, no sizzle..
