Tijuana Gringo : Diary Calendar
30 diciembre 2003
San Diego, Caulifornia
& Tijuana, Baja California
There is a question of what
and what color or how to name or number the color etcetera
and how to say I am in San Diego again
crossed through the gate with two charming ladies from Oceanside one of them clutching a toy guitar probably made in China heh modern world marketing even the
but I do Not know that for sure
next time look at the box like the cat on the advertisement -- Oops he saw the box....
Anyway I crossed through the gate not too bad only ten or fifteen minutes waiting and of course that went much more quickly because I had two friendly women to talk with
poor Richard's Almanac
oh no not that you do NOT want to be seen in public with an Almanackkkkk that means you are a terrorist searching for likely targets...
omaigad what is this world coming toooooo
I dunno
Happy New Year
Ho ho ho
be safe my friends
how did I meet them, you ask?
very simple they were back by the fat arch building over the highway mouth in and out of Mexico (not the skinny new metal arch like Saint Louis back downtown, no, this is the building that arches over the superhighwaY INTO border hades) and well
I guess they were a little unknowing of which way to walk now and I heard them say "We'll just follow him" and I smiled back at them and we plunged through the fuming growling crowd of beasts waiting, there where the pedestrians must Make Our Way across the twenty lanes of backed up traffic....
And so we chatted all the way along the sidewalk, waiting in line and walking, walking and waiting in line, going through security
Oh look I said there is Richard Nixon's Name but....
It looks like they have actually erased his name off the dedication stone under the big round U.S. Seal....
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Whaat does thaaaaaat mean? That someone "they" ("WHO ARE they who say?" my great uncle Daniel used to say when I was a baby) who are they who erased "our" disgraced and rehabilitated dead President (at least he isn't ever going to be on "our" money like all the other dead presidents except Benjamin Franklin or Alexander Hamilton never were presidents heh hee so there....
Where was I? Oh yeah... it looks like Richard Nixon's name has been erased from the cornerstone on the big building at the border. Or maybe me equivoco maybe I Am MISTAKEN in capital letters maybe they are just cleaning the stone and....
oooops
sigh
I sip dark brew while you scroll down
mmmm a cup of coffee with miel de abeja
that is honey from the bee
yum sweet and dark
like my soul
no, don't imagine
I cannot hear you unless you email me
and the other column really is empty
tomorrow is the last day of the year
it is time to begin a new calendar
The Space Age
which began, incidentally, October 4, 1957
and as
you will see
that is where we live
or rather when
okay bye
