hale and pace

is on the tv and they just had some special on the beatles 'magical mystery tour' with martin scorcese

spent day at beach, car had similar problem as yesterday, met a bulgarian/ruski couple -- turns out the woman is russian and from same city in siberia as desi's mom: tumen...... the guy is bulgarian and some of his close family is from very similar part of bulgaria near serbia as is desi's father, motorbike rider and does para-gliding which is like hang-gliding but with a parachute......... they seem like nice people......... actually met the guy many months ago in my taxi but we never caught up until tonite

beach was nice... got pretty burnt, did a bunch of laps in pool - beach was evacuated due to shark being spotted.... two helicopters were hovering around looking for the shark and a jet skiier was issued forward to scare it off, we spoke to a spear-fisher.... he really looked like a knight with his wetsuit on and spear-fishing equipment, really orderly..... he said the very same shark they were looking for came right up to him and stole his fish....... maybe another tall fishing story - or no

forgot to mention keepsakes of my sister and my father: to remember my father and wish him well in the afterlife i keep one of his taxi driver epaulette's which i always wear at work.... i never planned to become a taxi driver but that's what's going on and it's ok...... from my sister i keep a japanese tea set: four very dainty small tea cups, and an iron..... the iron i will use sometimes if my normal iron gets dirty all of a sudden but mostly don't use it, it has an american plug so it needs an adapter to chinese-styled plug used in australia...... have never used her japanese tea cups but they are out on display and maybe one day i'll meet a japanese culture enthusiast, japanese or otherwise, that cares to drink japanese tea with me........... i don't keep photos of either of them but i can see that a plenty at my mom's........... i don't care to see their photos much but i am happy to use these three keepsakes to wish them well in their afterlife
