Stephen and I decided to go out for cheap supper tonight. We went to the main street in town and sat at a table on the edge of the street to order our tacos. While sitting there I said to Stephen that we had not brought our camera so we might see mermaids swimming by. We did not see a mermaid but we did see:
A young (12 or 13) man riding a big brown horse up and down the street.
A Mexican midget (honest) riding by on a very small 4 wheeler. The 4 wheeler looked like something that should have been in a circus. The midget looked like a normal midget.
A bunch of young men (older teens) riding up and down the street in an open dune buggy. Of course, music blasting while they were yelling to be noticed.
As the world over, young men and ladies just plain checking each other out. Here they are a little more polite about the process. And--grandma is sitting on a chair outside next to the door.
Actually it is a little like watching a late 50´s tv show. I remember cruising main street with girlfriends in someone's car. The windows rolled down and yelling at friends. Of course, with grandma watching no one would be that disrespectful.
The big finale was as we got up from the table and were walking away. Two open-backed army trucks loaded with uniformed soldiers caring automatic weapons rolled by.
Where was the mermaid? love to all meema

Maybe mermaids are shy around grandma's too? More likely they are taking advantage of your absence here and playing in your pool. There have certainly been a couple of midgets in there since you left.
