Postcards From Paraguay
My Shangri-La is my favorite off Mark Knopfler's album Shangri-La which is apparently named after the studio in Malibu. Postcards is more of a comedic departure, similar to Don't Wreck the Ambulance which cracks me up every time I hear it.
One drawback to classes that run from 6pm-9pm is that you have to be front loaded, and you miss the best part of the day.
Today is the most picture perfect Maine spring day you could possible imagine. The temperature is up, the humidity is down. There is a breeze blowing the salt air around. At 6pm I would rather be down at the 5 Islands lobster pound, eating a lobster roll and watching the waves come in.
Instead I'll be in a classroom with a dozen other middle aged men talking about crap in which I am not really interested.
I caught up with Fargo last night. The TV series. Billy Bob Thornton gets in the best zingers in a deadpan way. It is impossible to tell which way this series is going, as is normal anything the Coen brothers get involved with.
"This is highly irregular."

There is a saying in evasion that people looking for other people tend to either look down, or at least below eye level. The last time I was at the store (the "Store" will be how I hereafter refer to Shaw's) I looked up toward the ceiling and was shocked.
I counted fifteen cameras within eyesight of the express lane.
We really are being watched all the time. Most intersection lights have a small blue globe over the top light. That is a camera. Next time you go in a store look up. You will see the ceiling half plastered with small half globes. A camera in every one.
Don't pick your nose in public is all I can say. Just smile, you are on perpetual camera.
