The Security Guard, Water 2 Wine and a Car Show
Here I am in another time zone??????? Actually I am in the same place I was except that with the time change I actually moved into a different time zone......... How does that happen you ask and even if you don't ask I am going to tell you anyway!!!!!!! I was in one place and then I went someplace else and that was in the Pacific Daylight Time and then it became Mountain Standard Time and I did not even have to go across the street. It is just one of those unexplained phenomenoms {I HOPE SPELL CHECK HAS THIS ONE?????} of the other side of the time warp or in my case I may be the one that is warped, wrapped, trapped or otherwise confused about what I am doing, where I am doing it, and should I be allowed to do it in the first place???????
Isn't this part fun???? I just love this part. It always gets me so confused that by the time I actually get to the part where I start to write whatever it is that I am going to write about that I DO NOT HAVE A CLUE WHAT IS GOING ON!!!!!!! It is like taking a trip back to the '60's. They say if you remember the 60's then you probably were not there and I can tell you from experience that parts of that time in my life ARE JUST A LITTLE BIT VAGUE?????!!!!
Well, now that I have gotten the drug induced part of the writing over with where I listen to JIMI HENDRIX'S "PURPLE HAZE" whilst I listen to TIMOTHY LEARY talk about the TRILOGY of "TUNE IN, TURN ON, and DROP OUT" I will proceed without further "wow man"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So since I am not where I was when this part of the story takes place I will put pen to paper or in this case maybe not pen to paper, but keys to the screen and then print it out, or not???? depending on how I feel at the moment.......
While I was where I was there was this cat, actually there were 2 of them, but only one of them had a tail, but that is a story for another time, so there were these 2 cats, one with a tail and one without a tail not to be confused with a TALE since they are part of the TALE, both of them that is. The one with the tail and the one without the tail.
The one with the tail was the actual security guard as he ate the most and was always the one who was at the door so I have to assume that he was the one in charge. The one with no tail always showed up to eat, but never was seen at any other time so I have to assume that he was back-up in case of any major problem like maybe somebody else wanted to eat out of the bowl.
The guards were good at their jobs as no one tried to break in where I was staying and there were never any prowlers that I knew about?????? The problem with the guards was that they only worked part time which was similar to the DOORMAN in a previous story {refer back to MY CHATEAU TO GO--PART DUX} and I was never really sure which part of the time they were working. I know they ate on a regular basis and the lead guard was always at a different spot. I am just not sure if he was guarding, sleeping or maybe that was a type of camouflage to confuse us all. I know that while I was there I am sure he put on a pound or two and certainly seemed to be guarding the front door a lot more. While he was eating and guarding, I was busy tasting wine which brings me to the next part of the story. How is that for a skagway or segway or my way or anyway. WHATEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So it was off to look for bottles of wine and the wine tastings. A whole lot more fun that making sure the guards ate well. I found this winery which was not that far from where I was staying which is always a good thing because when you start tasting wines, the problems you have with other drivers on the way home is multiplied by the amount of glasses consumed while tasting. Of course it is always necessary to taste several types so that you are sure of what vintage you prefer. Luckily the first one I tasted was the one I decided on so although all the others were good and the wine tasting was a SMASHING SUCCESS so to speak or probably I should not speak, well anyway all in all a good time was had by all.
I actually ended up selecting a batch and had it bottled and my own label put on. So I figured after I drank all the contents I would autograph the bottles and give them out as Christmas Presents. Just kidding folks. I think I will keep them and use them for candle holders during the BIG WIND SEASON??????? So after consuming COPIUS AMOUNTS {don't know what it means, but I figured I would throw it in there anyway} of wine and managing to find my way back to the house and feeding the security guards, {they sure eat a lot!!!!!!!}. It was off to the car show.
I have to tell you, well I don't really have to tell you, but I am going to anyway that I like HOT ROD or OLD CAR SHOWS. It seemed like every time I was somewhere where there was a car show this summer I had to be someplace else when the show took place. So when I heard about this show I made it a point to be sure and be there so I could go and guess what???????? Well, even though you won't guess I will tell you. That is when I got the FOOD POISONING!!!!!!!!!! Well,!!!!!!! I was going to the show no matter what and as it turned out by the time of the show I was recovered enough to be able to actually enjoy the show. The show was great, the cars were fantastic and again a good time was had by all. I can only put a few pictures on the blog so if you want what I have from the car show, just email me separately and I will send what I have.
Well, I must get ready to pack and head where I am going next even though I am already there, but since I am writing this as if I was still there I just figured I would end this story that way.
Have a HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
