The exciting news in these parts is that the Kokomo’s floating bar on Baloy beach has reopened. Surprising really, given that the ridiculous COVID restrictions are still in place. Not sure how they pulled it off since only restaurants, not bars, are allowed to operate. Well, you can get food delivered from Treasure Island and Da’Kudos, so maybe that works.

Anyway, I spent an enjoyable evening on the water yesterday for the first time in over a year. Kokomo’s used to be one of three floating bars (along with Arizona and Blue Rock) and was my least favorite back in those glory days. Like I told the gals last night, Kokomo’s is now the best floating bar in town and has the prettiest women. There is something to be said for being the only game in town I suppose.

It almost felt like things were back to normal. Today’s news, however, brings reports that Pamapagna, the next province over, has re-imposed draconian measures, including a ban on alcohol sales. Good thing I made it to Angeles last week! Anyway, don’t get me started on how completely idiotic this lockdown crap truly is. So far at least, the powers that be in Olongapo City and Zambales province have not seen fit to take similar actions limiting the freedom of the citizenry. Hopefully, that will remain the case. I wish there was a vaccination available that would cure the ignorance of elected officials, but until then, I’m going to keep on keepin’ on.

I reckon I better head out now for some beers while I still can!
