Let’s just say that there were ‘ups and downs’….the ‘ol good news/bad news’….one of our local wits went off on me, for reasons unknown to me….the full moon? who knows?
I found out that three of supposedly antique silver coins that I’ve bought here/there are fake…counterfeit…considering that I paid retail, the actual value is a fraction thereof..
the date that i thought i had with the Doublemint Twins? Ruby, the blonde tica and her tattooed sister? nope….even the backup guy faded…I’m being philosophical about it: I saved a LOT of money and consoled myself with a slice of pizza from the Sunshine Grill.
on the other hand(four fingers and a thumb)the original group of ‘unindicted co-conspirators’ met last night….including the long unseen J.R…welcome back! ‘something mentioned about a divorce, I think….there seems be a bit of that malady going around lately….Rafa’s Bistro? sign up, outside painted and they’re ready for biz….funny how that block of 4th ave is perking up…Metiz, the deli, is doing a fair amount of business…who knew? and the old Riki’s? still vacant, with potential renters looking and walking away…$$ of renovation, I’ve been told…will a franchise go in? the major Guate franchises are already here, except for Taco Bell(that used to be the nickname for the Mexican telephone system).
are the party/hearty folks quitting early? only one puddle of puke on 5th Ave norte, and none around dos Reilly’s/El Gato….and where’s the municipal water wagon? the sidewalks in town are only getting worse…dog shit, et cetera…did Adolfo have his finger in that also? yeah, I’m still waving at his daughter, who’s aging quickly…quicklier? at my age I’ll take my smiles where ever I can get ’em…Ruby? they left for Costa Rica this morning..they said..o well…saves me $$ and Frequent Flier Miles and I always get in trouble there anyway…
Dude! You’re Screwed!
