Notes From The Road

Man, it was a lo-o-o-ng day on the roads of Greater Phoenix today, and it took about an hour and a half to crawl home down the 101 from the 51. So, rather than try to squeeze entertainment out of my ragged mind, I'll just highlight strange shit I came across in my travels:

Chandler - There was this dude who looked a little like Jerry Garcia after a month or two on Jenny Craig. He had on a green tee-shirt with a representation of Stonehenge on the front and the words Orthodox Druid. I wonder where they hold services and Bingo Night?

Mesa - An unattractive teenage girl, wearing a tee shirt saying Future Ex-Girlfriend. Note to her: Stop dying your hair jet black and wearing all that metal shit in your face, and maybe the next one will stick around.

Sunnyslope (Little Saigon) - Three people around a table in the dirt yard of a slum apartment building. Two Vietnamese women, one wearing a pointy cone-shaped hat from the ol' home town - and one black male. They were hammering down Heinekens and the poor guy looked completely lost as the women spoke Vietnamese at light speed (and seemingly in unison). He had not a fucking clue what they were saying, and was clearly only there for the beer.

South Phoenix - One of my favorites, I've passed it by many times. It's a run down old shop with a sign out front advertising IN THE NAME OF JESUS USED TIRES. Hope they trademarked that name, because you know somebody else must want it.
