Wanna Beef ?!

Well I took a lovely walk to the park today to get out a bit and do some R-n-R and homework. Hmmmm, guess what I did more of . . .

Anyways, while at the park, there was a little surprise I didn't expect to see. It started off with a group of Hispanic folks, young and middle aged, who arrived in a truck jumping out sounding tough and spitting out a number of swear words. They all gathered around a covered area in the distance. You can see it to the right in the photo. About five minutes later, here come a few more Hispanic folks. The two groups met in the center of the park. Two teens then went head-to-head. Clashing, throwing punches, went into a submission hold contest, then broke it and threw some more punches. All along, the rest of the group acted as cheerleaders! Hmmm. After it was all over, they called truce, gently butted fist, then talked like, "Lets hang out!" Well, that's what it sounded like anyway. From start to finish, less than five minutes. Other than that, pretty quite at the park.

Saturday was potluck day. I checked out this singles event from a local singles organization that put on a potluck. It was held at the organizers house. Nice event, but all older folks. I'm talk'en upper 40's and above. I showed interest in one gal that looked around 40 and she found her way around the bush so-to-speak. Oh well. Maybe next time. I initially had some hope as the event organizer told me he was glad to see me as he had a number of younger ladies say they were coming. I figure the Fall Crawl pulled them away. (The Fall Crawl is an annual music event downtown.)

Sunday was PBS day! I had it on PBS from about 8:45am to 10:30pm! Minus a short break for the news. Lots of good stuff. The most interesting was this detective show from England. It was called The Inspector Lynley Mysteries. I'm hooked! Count me in next week. It had story plot, reasonably / realistically timed events, and . . . character development. Oh Yeah.
