I’ve developed a bad habit these past two years and its caused a lot of Spanish slang to be slung in my direction and though it may be well deserved….I’m fed up with it. Its to do with the amount of shit that falls off my tailgate……lunches and coolers and tool boxes, buckets and untold amounts of building materials have dissapeared lately due to my inability to remember to simply close the tailgate. I really needed to get to the job early today so that I could leave early enough to get to our place and finaly hang the new kitchen cabinets and so when “Short Breath” started whining about riding her bike to work in the frigid Florida temperatures…..I was miffed. She starts at 8:00 for Gods sake and I was hoping to start before 7 am and so told her she’ll just have to get there a half hour early. Well off we speed and sure enough, she gets there a half hour early and I jump out of the truck to unload her bicycle …..and its not there. $575 worth of bike has lept of my tailgate somewhere and now we have to back track in the slim hope we may find it. ……….all the way back to deep into New York Ave and there it is….laying on the side of the road all disheveled and looking like a well used and then abandoned blow up doll ……with a flat. ” You fucken suck” she said in Spanish………. yeh yeh yeh heard it all before.
and in more than one language…….
