     It's that time of year again, Dear Readers. Time for my annual pilgrimage Out in the Weeds. This year there had been some confusion with the actual dates of the outing and as a result some members of the PBR STREETGANG, namely Kilgore and Lance, will miss the big show. That's okay because they live nearby and visit the research site quite often. But, I'll still miss seeing them on this trip

Instead of taking my usual route to avoid the Pacific Pearl I'm driving smack dab through the middle to have breakfast with my Niece and her Beau. This time I'll have to get a couple of happy snaps.

     Do you people watch or listen? It's not spying or voyeurism. If you happen to find yourself in a public place - currently I am trapped on a Left Coast transportation vessel - simply sit back enjoy your beverage and while mindlessly glancing through your paper listen to the conversations around you. Listen to the various languages spoken, to the infective words, the patterns, the force or submission and to the bravado and the  bullshit. I remember as a kid being on a Greyhound trip with the Sages to grab a flight from the Pacific Pearl to Tequila Land. There were two dudes across the aisle and one dude was telling the other dude that the reason he was on the bus was because his favourite car had broke. Of course, he could have taken the sports car or the 4x4 or the luxury sedan or the limo or had his uncle fly him in the helicopter but "dude, why should I show off when there are so many dudes that dont have anything?"

    "So, it's like you're travelling incognito so I dont feel bad?"

     "Like a spy, dude!"

     "That's so righteous of you dude!"

     "You're welcome, dude."

     It will be a while before I will be able to post anything as I will be Out in the Weeds. So, take care of each other and if you can't have fun stay home.
