Responding to various e-mails from pals and the occasional reference from fellow posters I remain in the middle keys until Wednesday - 26 August having thus far enjoyed my pre-planned five-week siesta enormously. Given my location and its numerous cockakee-type residents, many themselves I'd guess to be 57-ish ... and not wanting my return 'visa' to SC confiscated by some other 'General Vega' wannabe I MUST refrain from posting on this subject 'till the 'morrow. Except to say ...
Drugs have turned our capitalistic America into a trash can 'full' of ostentatious manses, exceedingly overpriced Mercedes and obscenely expensive Rolex-watches.
BUT!!! - 'General Vega' ... Cuba is the same trash can, only empty!
DO NOT be fooled 'cause as we speak hundreds of 'counter-intelligence' minions have been unleashed on the byways of Pickens County armed with identical 'lip balm' containers FILLED with unwrapped BC and Goody powders those drivers instructed to drive erratically ... a 'planned' diversion in hopes of constructing 'plausible' deniability as a defense for the future.
"Suburbanism' is a major contributor here; John's Creek, GA didn't even exist a decade ago ... and to think a 92% white 'community' of nearly 90,000 located WITHIN DeKalb County with it's 'defining' recreational outlets being the Atlanta Athletic Club and the County Club of the South isn't a haven for just-licensed children misbehaving in personally-owned Volvo's is a fantasy. These 'activities' and 'habits' weren't learned at Clemson - they were 'imported'.
ATLANTA is a VERY 'cosmopolitan' place!!! I tasted (and saw) the very first salad-crouton of my life while dining in Atlanta. (I also had my very first Big-Mac there) - on Spring Street near mid-town ... it cost $ .48 cents. That was in 1968. I NEVER did the 'drug thing' - even with the occasional influence of Atlanta ... but I've been 'hooked' on Big-Mac's since that very first one.
