Animals: Same as
yesterday
Quotes: “No.
Those are yours. You’re the garbage eater.” – Lisa to Chuck while pointing at the slices of summer sausage
segregated because they had touched the table. Chuck gave her a look, dropped a
slice on the floor, let it sit there a few seconds then popped it in his mouth.

Everyone really wanted to go back to the neighborhood where
we had played because there was so much we wanted to check out during the day.
Thankfully I was broke enough to remove the temptation presented in all the
cool, slightly hipster-ish stores. Lots of vintage stores, a high-priced cooking
implements store, tons of bars, (including two with skee ball) three
independent bookstores, (!) and a wonderful ice cream store that had a line out
the door the entire previous night. I had eaten a bag of trailmix so I guess
the Black Walnut ice cream wasn’t breakfast, but it felt like it. Black Walnut
ice cream is rare and this stuff was top shelf. I found my way to a great
little coffee shop, worked on the blog and watched the regulars do their thing.
Everyone was in a good mood as we piled in the van to head off into the heart
of Kansas.
And in case you’re wondering about the great pot experiment
going on in Colorado, I didn’t notice a damn thing different than most big
cities. One guy rolling a joint on the sidewalk was about it.
We drove to a hotel in a town called Wenakee, but really it
was just a place within site of the highway. Three crones, almost identical
except for variations in the wispiness of their white hair ran the place with
the exactitude of exiles enduring a long punishment for their supernatural
misdeeds. We called them either the Three Witches* or the Witches of Eastwick.
*I had no idea that the Weird Sisters band in Harry Potter
came from Macbeth. Oh JKR I love you so.
