Rain , it doesn’t happen here . I laugh when I watch the news and the building excitement that it could possibly happen . Just a week earlier we were told it was a 90% possibility , but as usual the 10% prevailed . The radar revealed a green mass south of us between Long Beach and San Diego , I smiled and shook my head . Nah . it’s gonna slide below us as normal . I do take the positive out of this ; it is this mass which was once an off shore hurricane that helped give us a week of waves . Marcus leaves for Carbo tomorrow. He rang to tell me he walked into a motor home and smashed his head . ” So you can’t go to Carbo “. Please tell me you are . “Yes Troy but I hurt myself !” …., ” And ? That’s because you’ve got red hair and a bald patch . That shit doesn’t happen to non gingers “, I reply . “What the fuck are you talking about Troy? You smart arse . I had to put up with that shit as a kid “. ” I’m just reminding you of the facts Marcus , that’s all .” He’s ringing because he really wants me to walk his dog , Teddy . I don’t mind cause he’s gonna be gone for a week , maybe longer if he gets caught with contraband . The whole Holliday is paid for by his fellow Alcoholics Anonymous friend who has showered sympathy on Marcus . What his AA mates don’t know is that Marcus is constantly stoned on weed . He’s smuggling a bunch of edibles in to Mexico as he can’t cope with being sober . Mexico doesn’t have an open mind like California does . The sky looks ominous , a brilliant sunset followed by a distant lightening show , hmmm … it might happen . Shit multiple things could happen , all positive : Marcus will be gone for a week , his plane could get struck by lightening and crash ( not good for everyone else but good for the neighbours ), he might get caught in possession and get locked up for a year and it could even ……. rain Wishful thinking ?
Awfully quiet this morning , no one yelling out from across the street ….. and what is that stuff on the window ?
The little things
