Chick 'n' Wing(s)nut

Folks,

A little less intense photo day today - I did take some photos.  I explored black within the spectrum of colour - the photos will hopefully illustrate what I mean - still a lot to learn in this area - all photos are a study in darkness - never underestimate the power of the dark side of the force.

The Raven-Crow beasts insisted that I take in the Moab Brewery one more time and did I have a choice - of course not.

So I am sitting there having a Scorpion Ale ( speaking of which, check this out),

- when in walks this woman and sits down beside me at the bar.  She orders a Belgian Wheat and hot chicken wings.  My camera - with the long lens, don't you know - is sitting on the bar.  She asks me if I got any good pictures today - I say no - but the day ain't over yet.  She asks me to take her picture - I said no problem, I just have have to back-up a bit as I have a long lens - she says all men should have that problem.  I take the picture.

I ask her if I can e-mail her the picture - she says no, it's for me, not her.

I ask her what she is doing in Moab - she says, she just flew in to Salt Lake City and drove over to meet her husband who has been away for 4 weeks - I say that's odd, that's the same amount of time I've been away from home.

I ask her what her husband does - she says, usually, whatever he pleases.

I say - that must be hard to deal with- she says no, he needs his space, I need mine and this works fine.

She says - for Christ's sake Phil come off it and pay the bill and stop this foolish role playing - I say, it's not role playing, it's really who I am - David Bowie, Ziggy Stardust, The Thin White Duke; Neil Young, rocker, folkie, grunger - one person, many personas - she says OK, let's the 8 of us go home - the Raven-Crow beasts insisted that I stay, but she locked on to their frequency and said, 'Nevermore .....' - and they were silenced ..... but for how long .....

To quote from verse 91 of the Krome Koan, 'I chose the road less traveled, now where the hell am I??'
