Bon voyage?

 Dunno what the occasion was.  I'll ask if I see them.  This is all marina staff singing.

He's baaaaaaack!

 "Zika one, Zika one, Zika two." "Zika one here.  What's up, Goose?" "Maverick - he's back." "Goose, we've been in Fiji now for a couple of years, infected hundreds of people, met all kinds of insect relatives...can you be more specific?" "The sailor guy - you know,  his friend was the purple mohawk-haired woman?" "Oh him.  I sort of thought he was gone for good." "Nope, he's back, Maverick.  Sitting on that same sailboat in Savusavu." "Well, I wonder where he's going to go from there.  Savusavu's nice, but once you walk around a few times you've seen it all." "I'll bet he goes out to the Lau islands." "Well, Goose, that's someplace we haven't been either.  That's a long distance for us to fly with our limited supply of ATP." "Maverick, what's ATP." "Goose - Google is your friend.  Actually you could ask Claude from Anthropic...

Lola

She walked up to me and she asked me to dance I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said Lola L-O-L-A, Lola La-la-la-la Lola Anybody remember the Kinks?  British Invasion rock era?  Yah, didn't think so.

The Haircut

Stardate October 20, 2023 Job one is to get a haircut for the wedding.  I know a guy...  My barber is Wahid Khan and he is a master.  He is the manager at Shazia's Unikk Barber Shop in Lautoka.  He has cut my hair twice now and I swear these have been the best haircuts I have ever had.  Real old-fashioned, with straight razor trims and a splash of astringent cologne at the end.  He charges $15 FJD.  That's $7.50 USD.  Unbelievable. So I want into Lautoka this morning with the intention of getting my hair cut.  Turns out I missed the bus at Vuda.  Don't know how - I was early.  I guess so was the bus.  There was a guy siting there who told me that the bus had gone.  About this time his ride showed up.  I asked him if he minded sharing the taxi into Lautoka.  He laughed and said it was his friend but he would ask.  The friend said sure and I hopped in the back seat.  About the half-way point, the friend s...
