March 25 is St. Dysmas Day

[March 25 is St. Dysmas Day, the patron saint of thieves, according to one text] “You’ll have to excuse me — I have no sense of direction.” “Course not, ” I quipped back to my hostess, “no weenie to carry it in.” Shopping, even on the Left Coast, is no different. One record store clerk took one look at the hat, then the CD’s, and asked, “Yeah, did you see these two on tour together?” Sure heavy metal and and heavy mental music together again. In China Basin, 3rd & Embarcadero, at the donut shop — it’s just so stereotypical — a city cop — but he was riding a BMW police bike. There’s a Yahoo! Billboard: “Yahoo! Here, take my electricity.” And over one round of tuna sushi —”With whitebread and Ranch Dressing, you can make anything edible.” The second round of sushi was in Walnut Creek, where you hang a left at the brewery, then a right after the Harley shop, and it’s next to the 7–11. But, the trek was well worth it for one special roll: The Bradzilla (modified Godzilla Roll). Spicy tuna, rolled sushi, tempura fried, then coverd with three types of hot sauces. We got to playing with one of my earrings, and that item got laughed about as I left it behind in the restaurant, “Yes, we could use these to catch more fish with,” the maitre’de suggested, returning my catch. “Hey, you’ve got to come and get your brother, I’ve been hanging out with him too long, we’re waiting with baited breath, get it?”
