he watched an enormous man in a brightyellow shirt black shortwhat appeared to be weighted backpack gymshoes walking across the street

                             a really enormous man

he figured he better say something to his cousin who happened through town on her way to LA from Esalen she was there for a welldeserved retreat a treat there for massages and the nude hot tub

                                                                                     she was telling him about this guy who asked if he could share the hot tub  he had the biggest dick shed ever seen

                                                                                      Ya let him in

                                                                                                     In? I wish. No. He would have split me in half, I didn’t want to be nursing my pussy afterwards. I was there to relax not get laid. I did however share the tub.

Gale had an enormous rackthey were kissing cousins as kids occasionally she let him play with her tits sometimes some things a bit more intimate

                                  So the pair of you just eyeballed each other

                                                                                To be sure we eyeballed, but didnt ball.

Gale bought some nice weed while she was in San Francisco

                                                                they got stoned at his place before they walked over to a coffee shop he knew  out of the way  quiet  excellent vantage point to watch the world go round  afterwards they were going to dinner at a Mediterranean place that just opened  friends said they were very pleased with the food

Im stoned he admitted

Me too she said

Say that saidyasee that huge man in the brightyellow shirt across the parkway

she looked OHmy hes the size of a billboard

Yes  Enormous

                 I was thinkin . . 

. . Oh no, thinking one of your usual stoned thoughts that come from places unknown, fresh out of bizarro world?

Not bizarre

Oh, bizarre, go ahead make my point. Something about the yellow billboard?

Yes

You’re not going to belittle him for his weight.

No I wouldnt do that I have no idea whas caused his circumstance

No, you’ve always been good about not judging people; I wish I didnt half as well as you.

Judge not lest ye be judged

Should have had you up in Esalen.

No no  Had you invited me had we done the hot tubyour tits Im not a swinging dick so we may have been tempted  then smitten really made a mess of their hot tub

she laughed Possibly

                          Alright, what are you thinking?

Do you think a lethal military drone could strike him without causing collateral damage saveperhaps bruised by body parts

         Gentleman is rotund Round a ton

And thank you, proved my point. You don’t think that’s bizarre.

No

Okay. Let’s go eat before I lose my appetite.

Would you quit

               he imagined himself squeezing him by the throat like a Panic Pete Squeeze toyeyes bugging tongue unfurled eardrums inverted  looked hilarious painful he bought several for his daughters when they were young because he couldnt quit playing with them and eventually exhausting their elasticity

                                                                                         What’s that about? his wife asked he said they were made by the ChineseWhadaya expect planned obsolescence  also somewhat akin to a rubber made to be tossed when exhaustedNot me baby Ive got more rubbers and oodles of lust for you   Get away from me, I’ve got things to do.   Maybe one thing called Joe he wiggled his eyebrows  he usually scooped her up and headed to the bathroom Girls! Mom and Dad are taking a shower  Out in a while

                                                                       if she had things to do he felt he ought to be first on her list

Would you quit

               he disgusted himhis one way of looking at things You recognise how sexist that is

It’s not sexist.

Saying it isnt doesnt make it true

                                  Thats a load of crap Two way street cat Whas good for the goose is good for the gander

What does that mean anyway?

I spared you I could have gone with the 1670s proverb What sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander Wha is acceptable for a man is acceptable for a woman In your particular case if a woman dyes her hair for you because you like itmakes them look youngerArtifice then you ought to dye your hair for her if she prefers  anything that can help you look younger ya definitely oughta pursue man

No. Not at all. I disagree.

I take ya at your word Unfortunate  

                                        Ya might wanna get ahead of thisbe proactive not reactive  Let her know nowup front  you wont dye for her

the Infrastructure bill passed the House

kindalike the beginnings again of the Eisenhower Administration building the interstate

13 Republicans voted to pass the bill which will go to the president to sign

6 Democrats voted against it

the 13 are Andrew Garbarino NY; Adam Kinzinger IL; Nicole Malliotakis NY; David McKinley WV; Fred Upton MI; Tom Reed NY; Chris Smith NJ; Don Bacon NE; Jefferson Van Drew NJ; Anthony Gonzalez OH; Don Young AK; Brian Fitzpatrick PA; and John Katko NY

the 6 are Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez NY; Ayanna Pressley MA; Jamaal Bowman NY; Cori Bush MO; Ilhan Omar MN; and Rashida Talib MI 

                                                                                                                          however the article he read also found it necessary to cite the butthurt the turd Republicans who do what theyre told shameless seek notoriety and do not perform the oath they swore

                                                                     a real pip maybe an up-and-comer Mary Miller IL: “ . . . thirteen spineless ‘Republicans’ decided to tag-team with Democrats and helped Pass their five trillion dollar socialist takeover of our country.”

he found it necessary to know the motivations of a politician  he took them at their word: “ I’m a wife, mother of seven, grandmother of seventeen, and Illinois grain and cattle farmer (he didnt think she would accept socialist farm subsidies – would she). My family and faith in God always come first. I’m a conservative and I’m proud to stand with President Trump.”

         also “I’m the (representative) that will take our Midwest values to Washington DC to fight against radical, left-wing Democrats who want to destroy America.”

then ofcourse there was the usual braying inchoate suspects

                                                                Lauren Boebert CO: she called the her thirteen colleagues RINOs (Republicans in name only): “Pelosi did not have the votes in her party to pass this garbage (a real class act). Time to name names and hold these fake republicans accountable (to her credit a fake might recognise a fake).”

“I can’t believe Republicans just gave the Democrats their socialism bill.” Matt Gaetz FA

the Houses real gem who has no committee assignments  they were stripped from her (a real tumbleweed  looks RHPAW ridden-hard-put-away-wet) Marjorie Taylor Greene GA: “ . . . the Republicans who voted with Democrats ‘handed over their voting cards’ to Pelosi to pass Biden’s ‘Communist takeover of America via so-called infrastructure.’ (what would she call it)”

when the cotton candy of cobwebs was apparentthe church didnt employ bouncers he quit waving he stood quietly excused himself worked his way to the aisle then rather than exit to the rearretreat he crossed in front of the pulpit the yammering Father under crucified Christs hanging head and took a side Fire door

that was the last he was in a church except for weddings and funerals

Listen, or your tongue will make you deaf.

                                             he asked a friend what he thought the proverb meant

               he was polite the telephone call was made his mother informed Mr. Sweat, if he doesn’t want to play with the others I don’t think it would be wise to insist he does, or try and force him.

I don’t want to hurt their feelings.

Well, I’m sure you can imagine that women have to be more selective, more careful; there’s probably lots of weird guys on dating apps.

Probably a lot of weird women too he refused to parse differences between men and women one was like the other

the more he talked up his apps revealing back and forths with unknown women he heard his name repeatedly coming up called him Brolaw brother-in-law

Excuse meif I could suggest

no sooner than their exchange a small junior high Hispanic boy approached them and asked if they had a dollar he could have

he said No

grouse asked what he needed a dollar for

the boy said he wanted to buy a bagelhe didnt have any money  his parents werent coming to pick him up for another hour was he gonna starve to death

grouse went into his pocket he had cashseparated a couple of dollar bills he gave one to the boykept the other in his hand and told the boy hed follow him in he was going to get a coffee refill

                                                                               Excuse me, what do you say when someone gives you a dollar? made your dreams come true

Huh?

Ohyeah. Thank you for the dollar.

Yes. You know . . muchas gracias, muchas gracias.

                                                      the boy looked confused he repeated Thank you.

he looked up at his buddy as he stood and laughed at him

What . what are you laughing at?

When yare back

moments later a teenaged boy in black jeans gym shoes black hoodie drawnup over his head hiding his face approached two girl who were seated at a table beside him

                                                  he grabbed the chair his buddy had been sitting in and turned it to sit beside the girls

HEY 

     the kid heardhis head motioned but he ignored him

he stood up crossed to the kid and rapped him in the ribs with the back of his hand Up Out Before you help yourself to an unoccupied chair you ask if its being used  ask if you may

as the kid stoodhe swept it out from under his ass before he moved

                                                                       he didnt acknowledge him

no skin off his ass

he set the chair back in place

his buddy came out of the coffee shop preceded by the kid with a bagel

he walked over and sat down

                                So why did you laugh at me as I went in for a refill?

Ever occur to you man that that kid may not understand Spanish
