At my mother's insistence I went to lunch at Vista and sat at the "Spanish Table". This is a table in the retirement home where everyone speaks Spanish. Rather, they're supposed to speak Spanish. But what happens is that everyone gets tired of that and ends up speaking in English, which is what happened again. Except at the end everyone insisted that Ramon sing "The Power of Love" in Spanish because that's how he courted his wife in Honduras 63 years ago. Which is pretty cool. It would have been more cool if Ramon could actually sing audibly, but what can you expect from a 97 year old man?
Y mi novia es mi esposa, y ella no es una vaca!
The Creek of Life. First clarification: It was iceballs...ICEBALLS...in the Creek of Life. Not donuts! And no, there have not (yet) been any of either in the Creek. Yet. Stay tuned for further developments.
Somebody was murdered at Hendry's Beach yesterday. My mother and I wondered why there were so many police cars when we drove through. The murder didn't stop me from going back and beach hiking to The Rock today. And getting sunburned. Whilst exploring mega-tidepools. Another semi-retro experience that never really gets old.
Final clarifiation: The CC Public Defendor is officially gone. The son-in-law claims that $2m worth of items were stolen from the shop and that the aforementioned icon was part of the heist. A quick web search appears to confirm this explanation:

Once again: You Just Can't Make This Stuff Up !
Of course it's supposed to be iceballs, but now that there's a donut shop going in, you should try it with donuts. You have to adapt to the times.
ReplyDeleteI don't suppose that's the same "Power of Love" song that Huey Long sang in "Back to the Future." No, probably not.
