Yet another average day

 

Hi Natty!  Are you feeling all right, my beloved?  Aw don't you worry about a thing, everything will work out just right for us inshaAllah.  You are MY girl.  I love you with all of my heart, and I will marry you inshaAllah.  Oh, who's the cook?  That looks like a nice meal.  Should go just great with tortillas or pita bread.  Those portable gas burners sure are handy, if that was what you used.  I would have brought a BBQ to the beach, just for the scent of charcoal.  You can still put a pan on top of hot coals so that you can pan-fry the steak, and thus have better control of its doneness.  Then later sear the meat over the coals to get some of that burned taste and look.  Plus, I would have cooked the tomatoes last just for a 10 second sear.  But whatever, it all looks marvelous.  Life sure is a beach.

This morning, I drove out to the local DMV (here known as the JPJ) to renew the road tax on the motorcycle.  Apparently, the government is only allowing people who have had the full 2 dose vaccine into their offices.  So that vaccine card has become yet another ID card in my wallet.  Such are these modern times.  I had lunch downtown over at Omar's.  I like his rice vermicelli soup.  Omar sure has the right touch with that stuff.  My dinner wasn't as glamorous as your picnic, I'm afraid.  Just a cheeseburger with fries.  I had time in the evening to do a hihat track for Shadowplay's next album, "Rise of the Horizon Creature" aka "Search for the Beast".  It was sloppy.  I felt inhibited.  I can't really lash out with the drums here.  But we have to do the best we can with what we have.
