no, not banana split…an obscure word that means ‘fast.’….unlike the great Antigua ‘replace the water lines’ project that started last spring, supposedly to be completed in 6 weeks and just in time for Semana Santa….oops…the latest line under completion is on 1st calle, across from La Merced and if what appears to be more continual water leaks in front of the Palacio….double oops.
Bimbo Bread hasn’t responded to my idea…stage a ‘Miss Bimbo’ contest, with easy publicity…ok, how about this? Little Caesar’s Pizza? their slogan, ‘Hot and Easy’….combine the two and sell a helluva lot of t-shirts. Of course, experienced judges will be needed..
and if you’re thinking of going into the City this week, thing again…protests planned for 2 or 3 days, re the latest stuff coming out of the Presidential Palace. The latest response to getting nailed is something like ‘it wasn’t me…it was my evil twin brother, Skippy.’ This country can’t even get it together to qualify as a decent banana republic altho El Salvador is notching new records for daily murders.
und zo, the overnighter to Xela etc? i survived the 5 hours in JR’s jeep, altho the gravitational pull around some of the corners had me worried about the ol belly/incisions…but, I did it, without complications and came to know Xela a lot better…I’ll start writing next week.
and the Bruce memories/elegies keep coming…he’s missed, by many and not likely to be replaced any time soon. It’ll be interesting to see what PV goes thru, change-wise and so, with the elections coming on the 6th, stock up on liquor the day before(wouldn’t want any inebriated voters, now, would we?) vote early and vote often.
