Come visit, we'll take you down there, you will not recognize the place. A GIANT BAGEL, over an eatery owned by Vietnamese who make damn good bagels, even the Jews have to agree. And, that Indo place, no public restrooms, but the food is so good, it stops me from going on a rampage and pooping right in the middle of the dining area . . . .

IN May of 2003, I had just planted a Roystonea oleracea (the palm next to me) and, in a frolicsome mood, I put a paper bag over my head, with the eye holes cut out, and told my friend (who insists on anonymity) to take the picture, and he did, and, well, history, sorta I guess . . . .
