Another day in my life that started with a walk and ended with a drunken stagger.
Time out for a safety tip: When withdrawing funds from an ATM, you should have someone around to watch your back. It’s also a good idea to give your lady friend your PIN just in case you forget it. Now back to our regular post.A long and flat walk (almost 9K) on the streets of Matain and Calapacuan.Only three were in attendance this week, including newcomer Gary from Austria (on the right)If there werea theme to the day’s hike, I’d deem it to be “dirty water.”A bay view in MatainAnd a boat view. I’m not a fisherman, but I’m guessing these boats are for nighttime catches.Back on the highway and headed for CalapacuanThe locals here were all friendly and shouted out cheerful greetings.More boats on the bayThat peninsula across the water is where Matain is located and where we were earlier in our hike.On the other side of the highway, we passed this big ol’ fishing pond.Still going strong…We found a place to cross.Waterside living at its finestIt boggles my brain when I see what people do with their trashBack on the pavementAnd off againAn Easter mountain viewHeading back home on the highway
The walk was all flat, but I was breathing hard for the last couple of kilometers. I hope my lungs won’t take my breath away.
Feeding time at Hideaway rolled around, and I headed out to take care of business. Last night the girls enjoyed pizza (Hawaiian, of course), pork liempo, and a roasted chicken. I baked a dozen apple cinnamon muffins for dessert.
The girls were hungry last night! The chicken and liempo were gone in the blink of an eye. I was able to get a shot of some of the pizza.The muffins seemed popular as well.The crew on the far side of the barAnd the gals on my side of the bar (the ones I treated to a lady drink)
When it was time to move on from Hideaway, I hoofed it down the highway to Alaska Club for my nightcap.
And enjoyed the view of Virginia. If I were a player, I’d have fucked her by now. Hmm, maybe it’s time to get in the game.
Made it home alone and safe. And now, I’m ready to face the challenges of a brand new day.
Mary is coming over after school. I’m preparing some pork chops in a cream of mushroom soup sauce in the crockpot. After the meal, I’ll take her to the floating bar for a couple of drinks before she goes back home to Kalaklan.
If I were the asshole Nerissa seems to think I am, I’d bring Mary with me to Cheap Charlies. Hmm, maybe next time.
I hear some people
been talkin' me down,
Bring up my name,
pass it 'round.
They don't mention
happy times
They do their thing,
I'll do mine.
Ooh baby,
that's hard to change
I can't tell them
how to feel.
Some get stoned,
some get strange,
But sooner or later
it all gets real.
Walk on
Love that incredible blue.
