the day after

Asain Customer: Hey Robert, it's Marshal.
Me: Hi Marshel. How are you doing today?
AC: Good. Good.
Did you enjoy the protest and the events yesterday?
Me: There was a protest yesterday??
[short pause]
AC: Yeah...it was a downtown. A big protest.
Me: Huh.
[longer pause]
AC: It went all day. It was big...
Me: I never heard anything about it.
[much longer confused pause]
AC: Uh is Antonio there?

    Just amusing myself.
    Really, how could I not know about it.

    Of course I have my opinions on the march and do believe that it succeeded in creating discussion on matter. Just amused (not offended) that my customer assumed that I attended because I am indeed Hispanic.

    All my mfg workers were there and I worked.
    Until I worked here, the only "illegals" I knew where my friends from England.

I had a flat this Friday, not that big of a deal normally, except I managed to snap the stem as I was removing a lug nut. Wonderful. More money that I don't have.

If I wasn't getting such a good price on rent I would move closer, but why pay what I'm currently paying for far less space in a worse neighborhood? Even with the gas savings I would nearly be at the same spot I am now. We'll see if Just Tires can fix my problem and/or hopefully replace it under the service plan I paid for. Good chance the obscene amount of miles I've put on my might have over shot the plan limitations, which will force me to pay out of pocket. Grr. I have 99,700 miles on my car as of last night. That means I'm doing @ 25-30,000 miles a year. Yikes! Oh I'm sick again, spending the weekend sleeping, not getting my tire fixed, and writing stuff for the other blog.

As she got up to wander around again, a boy and girl seated along the bar made introductions to her. Listening (not minding my own business) I remained seated on the bench studying a mosaic of a bullfighter in the midst of battle, sipping my Newcastle. I smiled to strangers passing through to use the bathrooms around the corner. I was bored out of my mind. I wondered if my thoughts were being read and felt that tingle of someone watching me. I rubbed the upper lip in preparation, then looked around my little area for the source of my paranoia and probably by chance the girl and I made direct eye contact. Brief awkward acknowledgments with matching half smiles faded slower than our gazes turned from each other. She reminded me of Whiskey Girl in looks and age which threw me off a bit when I...
