After Dark in Bisbee

True story

Tonight I had to do a couple of errands downtown after the sun went down. Nothing strange, really. I went to the co-op for a few items, then dropped off some broken down cardboard boxes for recycling. On the way home, I went to check my mail at the post office. 

Well, during the day, Bisbee is bustling with people in motion, saying "hello" to one another, a variety of colorful characters for sure. But, nothing that ever makes me nervous or in need of fleeing to the safety of my car with the doors locked, or evacuating the general vicinity.

Tonight, though, there were some very gangsta-like characters in front of the Post Office - their beat to shit car parked in one of the 20 minute zones with hip hop rap blaring so loud the windows shook. Maybe I'm missing something and this is more common after dark in our town. I just never saw it before.

The strangest thing is, they were just standing there. C'mon guys - take a lesson from our pals Jay & Silent Bob. If you're gonna make noise on Main Street - move your feet dumb-asses!

    Good to know...they weren't bothering me at all. It was just a little reminder of "Oakland" in Bisbee and took me by surprise. I'll mention Louise next time I go there at night, though. It'll be interesting to see the response. Thanks!

My Daughter Visits Bisbee!!!

Image
Good morning Bisbee! It looks like it's going to be yet another beautiful day here in Tiny Town (I didn't coin the term...I have our friend Juliette Beaumont, the bartender at Elmo's to thank).  I've got the wonderful "hurry up & wait" task of needing to wait for a visit from the cable company to deal with the inconsistent internet connection I have. But, the next few hours are mine alone. Nice. Meanwhile, I'm looking forward to picking up my lovely daughter, Mira, at the airport in Tucson this evening and having her here in Bisbee for a week! I moved here last June on the same day she left for her travels in India, Cambodia and Thailand this past summer. She's a world traveler, and it will be very cool to show her my new home. I'm hoping to introduce her to as many of my new Bisbee friends as possible. We'll be seeing you around...

Emily Decks Out for the Sandman Show at Elmo's

Yesterday afternoon a bunch of us went down to St. Elmo's in Brewery Gulch to hear our friend Sandman perform his unique blend of Cowboy Rap and Poetry (you've got to hear it to understand - check out his website ).  One of our own - Emily - was sporting quite the amazing outfit...which used to belong to Sammy Davis, Jr.! She says a friend of hers back in New Jersey passed it along to her after a photo shoot with said Sammy.  Now, I think that's just way cool!
