Triple X Fish News?
Gothic zodiac. Looks like some else is using my idea of fishing lure for an earring, see the Pisces?
Fun with the folks.
Pa Wetzel made a donation of some sort to SWT. San Marcos. “What should we do in San Marcos?”
Valentino’s on the Square. Great pizza. Even better than Austin Pizza’s Jalapeno and Anchovy [delivered to Shady Acres>, there’s that special Valentino’s tomato, bacon & ranch dressing pizza. Excellent chow in a sleazy dive of a pizza parlor.
Rob’s Humidor, great place to pick up a cigar. Or maybe a box of cigars.
Sharp Things, get a tattoo. On the square. From Harold.
Looking at my list of activites in San Marcos, I’m a little out of sorts. I mean, there’s nothing there to keep my parents happy, now is there?
Originally, this was supposed to be a Father’s Day thing, too. I had a Libra friend fetch me up so I could do a little Father’s Day shopping, nothing like waiting for the last minute to snag an old standby.
We wandered over to Whole Earth Provision Co., down on Lamar. Bought a sumac walking stick, a cane, actually. One of the counter workers offered to help by wrapping the stick.
“Oh, so what’s your birthday?”
“October. Libra. What’s yours?”
“Sagittarius,” I said, moving closer to the counter, sensing something.
The Libra had put the cane in two bags, effectively covering it, and she was tying a knot with some colorful twine, “Sagittarius? Ex-boyfriend is a Sagittarius,” she continued, yanking on the string. The twine broke.
I stepped back from the counter while she finished. I just had an image of her cracking my collarbone with that walking stick.
“Just a harmless Sagittarius, no really….”
“Right.”
