if you had problems finding a tuk-tuk today, blame it on the demonstration along the Santa Lucia regarding the shooting/murder of a driver in Joco last night…yeah, they carry a lot of money: one of them, last week, couldn’t change a 50q note for me…did the perp hijack the tuk-tuk and depart for parts unknown? no answer…dumb move…
one of our local bar owners displaying an unusual amount of $$$ recently…from whence it came? rumors swirl….Da Mayor seems to have dispensed with his blacked-out Chevy Suburban in favor of a Mitsu SUV…maybe he had to trade the title to one of his lawyers?
another restauranteur or two off on a looong trip…where? no one knows or at least no one(staff)isn’t talking…probably just as well, since June is shaping up as a big flopperoo for many in the food/bev industry here…hey, at least we’ve got Fuego to watch at night: the lightning last night was exceedingly spooky…like the tree that falls in the forest and no one hears it..right? is there day light activity that we can’t see? maybe I need to ask one of the dogs..woof? no…woof woof..
and…a sizeable storm off the Pacific side of Guate…o good..more rain, mud and stuff…given that Otto the Prez is scheduled to visit Take-a-Lick Abaj next week, maybe by then he’ll take a rain check…hell, take a rain chick and stay in Rayo instead.
Robt Wheat, aka Plumb Bob, Alabama or whatever and one of the usual crew in the Beige Bomb, taking off for San Salvador with what’s her face…Evilyn/Evelyn…weekend kinda getaway..Evilyne? Evil Lynne? nah, she’s sweet/nice and i like her..speaking of San Salvador, an amazing event underway: one of my oldest pals, whom I’ve known for 15 years(we met in Havana)is bailing from San Sal and moving to Malta..major WTF? and no, he hasn’t answered ‘why’…weird stuff..gotta wife, house and car in San Sal…this obviously means going to Lips in San Salvador and having a word with Dan, the owner and puts the kibosh of playing golf there (JK had a membership at Veraneras)…well, hell…Lips? yeah, it’s ‘hell’ but someone’s gotta do it.
‘scotch those rumors?’…refers to Bull Durham who’s got me drinking scotch again…waiting on tomorrows delivery of a rack of xlnt Tecpan pork ribs, as are the dogs…jamesdurham2@gmail.com for the very best in pork related articles/products..tomorrow? who knows or cares? since I’ve stopped wearing a watch I’ve become noticeably….as Tom Swift once said, ‘lackadaisical’ meaning i don’t care about flowers or much else…welcome to Antigua, Pilgrim…
