The day before the day before we leave

So far I have given Roj the grand tour of frisco. We hit the dump tomorrow to get rid of the final bits of the sf apartment. And then we embark on our voyage back east. It looks like the Mountains will be clear so we will be able to take the spine of the Sierras down to Vegas. Cool. Can't wait.

The Secret Society

Look closly next time you are stuck in traffic for a group of women who are slowly trying to take over the world. This secret society has been around since the early eighties and there are popping up all over now.

THey can be identified on the road by there car. They are usually driving a mid eighties Mercdes. They are hunched over the wheel wearing their big black sunglasses and a black chanel cap pulled down tightly to the top of the frames. If the car is diesel you know they are higher ranked in the society. They have no idea how to drive. Sometimes I believe they don't even know they are in a car.

You can spot them in the supermarket and other stores by looking for the hat and glasses but on foot they are harder to spot. Look for tons of makup. Red, red, red lips and cheeks, Blue eyelids and jst black dyed hair. If the glasses are off look for the over done mascara or fake eyelashes. Its a trip.

You may have inadvertantly spotted one just by listning. They are usually the aloof people on line that once their turn to pay comes they have a small argument with the clerk. Most cases they are trying to blame the store or clerk for one of thier errors. Witnessing this is a rare treat so be sure to laugh out load at how ludicris the argument is. But be careful never to engage them in conversation. They will have you the same way they had the clerk. If they speak to you answer with short obtuse answers like, "you are hilarious" or " You can't write this stuff or " You are CLEARLY(said slightly sarcasitically) right. This store sucks"

One last thing. If you ever see one with a full grown pure breed Geramn Shepard be very careful. This is one of the elite inner circle members.
