Ahhhh...Carribean consolation and solace...how I love living here...
Regardless, I was ruminating upon human nature today.
I was looking to buy a new rucksack today, and I mistakenly went to a large bulk stock purchase store in hopes of finding one. Alas, none were to be found amongst the cases of food items, motor oil and what nots. However, I was fortunate to find a case of Otter Pops in 100 pack boxes which I immediatly took having not had them since early childhood. While wandering about I also found a 50 pack package of 1/2 liter plastic cups which I realized would come in handy for spit-cups for when I chew tobacco. I got in line with all the people buying massive bulk stocks of food and items; and while in line, I noticed people kept giving me odd if not pecular looks. I paid them no heed, as is my nature, bought my items and left.
It was only later I realized that it would seem odd, to the casual observer, for a man to make a special trip to the bulk Sam's Club store becasue he had run low on Otter Pops and Plastic cups.
Life truly is amusing and pleasant when you don't have to live to anyone expectations.
Thanks for the iguana. I love the critters. I had seen quite a many in Costa Rica.

Tips for the Derby:
1. Mint juleps aren't as good an idea as they sound, at least when they're made with Early Times and it's 9 a.m. But once you get the first one down they get easier.
2. Don't pick horses based on their names. You'll win a lot of laughs by betting on Showing Up and Sunshineandbeer, but not a lot of money.
3. Wearing fetish gear in the paddock really pisses off the rich people.
