j.lowe : making and finding stuff

Sniff ‘n’ the Tears – Driver’s Seat TOTP – Jun 79 (Hi Qual)

Today at a restaurant I’m too embarrassed to admit I was eating at, our waitress complimented Briana on her hair, recently dyed to make her a copper-ish looking redhead.
A few moments later, as she was checking on the table behind us, I heard two guys attempting to flirt or perhaps mock our waitress calling her a WILF. There was an awkward pause, then one of the guys said “What? [The W is for] Waitress” as if there was no problem with implying that he’d like to f–k her. She walked off and I heard, “I don’t think she got it. Maybe we should explain it to her when she gets back.”
Or maybe you guys should not sexually harass someone trying to do their job.

We were waiting in the cold for a good view of Obama on the first leg of the parade route, in DC. Some cops who looked like they had been pulled straight out of Fargo, were talking to the crowd and said “Man you guys are a lot nicer then the crowds at the RNC. They were throwing stuff at us.” There was a long pause then he continued “and they weren’t nice things!”

*Though I find this very funny, I must say that these cops were very professional at their job. When the parade started the jokes were over, as they scanned the crowd and created a human wall that nobody wise would consider rushing.

Sitting in an airport bar in DC. Back to Portland tonight. Photos/video coming soon.

Portland people: this should be fun.
