sunday beer again

Lot of the gay in M’Coul’s today, us and many others, lol. It’s kinda the de facto. I used to call Geeksboro “the de facto” before it closed.

Of the official ones, Twist is nice, can’t stand Chemistry.

Modern Talking (screenshot) came on the sound system in M’Coul’s while we were there. It was a big Euro favorite 1980s. I’ve only heard them in the USA like twice.

Dog in a bag. Her name is Ebony, our latest elderly adoptee.

We’re practicing with her in a bag to see if this might work.

sancti spíritus 507 years

We walked around the streets and stayed in Sancti Spíritus while in Cuba. Four hours from Havana by car. We went out by bus, returned to Havana by ride share in a Russian car. I think the bus had on the movie “Christine” (1983 US horror film) during the trip out.

Sancti: “it is considered by experts as the most medieval of the first villas founded by the Spaniards”
It is celebrating 507 years. Aerial pic at top.

corona preserve

The Altar of Corona. 🍺

what it tasted like

Long time ago, I was visiting the pyramids NE of Mexico City with my brother.

There was a demonstration of how agave juice was extracted, and we were both handed a glass.

I didn’t say this loudly, and I was hoping the English would protect us some, when I said to my brother: “hmm, this tastes like semen.”

Several people, including a nun, cut me a look.

I finished gulping it down.

just give it to the church

One more story.

Someone I know decided to give away an old computer to make way for a new one. The old one ran MS-DOS, not something the average person was up to. 💾 🖥️

This person said, “I think I’ll give the old computer to the church!”

I had to jump in there and say, “why don’t you let me haul it to the recycling center for you and save the minister from having to do it.”

one of those bad jobs i had

I spilled coffee on a white t-shirt this morning, and it reminded me of a job I had ages ago.

It was in a shitty store, but it was clean, indoors, and had a deal with the nearby food court.

The owner/manager scheduled a summer cookout in a city park. Better than nothing.

She then made it into a semi potluck, “hot dogs and hamburgers will be provided, but y’all need to bring the drinks and sides.” Some definitely brought some drinks. 🍸

There was a giveaway during the cookout (potluck) which made jaws drop. There was a t-shirt with a coffee stain on it, a souvenir mug with a chip in it, and some item that was missing a part.

Some employees made a showy display of fawning over the item then walking it to the nearby trashcan and dropping it in. Obviously not team players.

At least we got weeks of “can you believe that shit?” out of it. 😂
