OCTOBER 2003
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

October 29, 2003 - HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Our first American Halloween.

Quite weird for me, as I have said,
We really do not have Halloween back in the Philippines. (see adlib Oct 31. 2001)
And in Canada, you got to find a costume that will fit over your coat.

It is really a big deal here in the States,
Everybody just greets you like it's a major holiday.

Happy Halloween to all,
And enjoy this day of tooth decay.

Now I know I live in the States - Thoughts and observations #1

Drive-thru Liquor Stores.

It goes a little something like this:

"Hi! Welcome to Liquor King!
Can I take your order?"

"Yes, Can I have a large order of Jack Daniels Please?"

"Would you like a shooter on the side?"

"No, Thank you".

"Is that all for tonight sir?"

"Yup, that's it."

"That'll be $15.95 Sir, Would you like it in a plastic sack or a brown paper bag?"

"No don't worry about it; I'll drink it while I drive."

We're finally here.
Sunny Florida.
The Sunshine State.
Northern Cuba.
Where the beaches are made with oranges.
Either that or, the soury, salty beach water aftertaste
is from all the people bathing.
Anyway,

The drive down here was somewhat pleasant and annoying.

First it was great that when we left Canada,
It was starting to get cold,
and also my brother said, sleets of snow were everywhere.

Got out just in time.
Nice.

Don't get me wrong,
I love the snow,
But this past winter was long and harsh.
I almost cried when the snow finally melted, (say around May)
and I showed Tyler the color of grass.

Look Son, this is what it looks like 3 weeks of the year.

So anyway,
The rundown of States that we passed thru are,

New York - Upstate NY is beautiful!
Pennsylvania - The Appalachian mountains were breathtaking
Maryland - Can you congest me more with your traffic and construction?
District of Columbia - You and Maryland drove me nuts!!
Virginia - The Hotel we stayed at was nice. And Free Breakfast. Mmmm.
North Carolina - I don't even remember seeing anything. Oh wait Cops!
South Carolina - Cops still everywhere. Watching my speed.
Georgia - The anticipation of seeing Palm Trees was exciting.
Also, I can still feel the Carolina Cops staring at the back of my head.

Then Florida!! wooohooooo!!!
Roll down the windows, let me smell the Humid air!!!

Breathe in.. Breathe out..

Do I smell poooopppeeeeee??

EEEEEWWWW!!!! TYLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
