RANDY SELLS OUT OF RIBS ABOUT LUNCH EACH DAY SOME ONE ASKED HIM WHY HE DIDNT STAY ON AND COOK IN THE AFTERNOON AND MAKE MORE MONEY...YOU GOTTA HAVE MORE TO DO THAN THIS OUTTA LIFE....HE REPLIED... IF YOU JUST DO THE SAME THING DAY AFTER DAY YOU WILL BECOME AS BORING AS YOU ARE BORED.....I WORKED ABOUT 4 HOURS ON MY PAINTING ESTERDAY THEN I TOOK OFF TO PORT WENTWORTH ITS THE CENTEROF OUR LATINO POPULATION..THEY WERE HAVING THEIR ANNUAL CELEBRATION OF THE LADY OF GUALDALUPE.....WHO REPRESENTS THE SIGHTING OF MARY IN THE 1500S IN THE TOWN SO NAMED..THE FESTIVALS ARE GALA EVENTS WITH MUCH TRADITIONAL DANCING MARACHI BANDS ALL DRESSED IN LATIN FINERY AND VENDORS SELLING TRADITIONAL FOOD..THE FIRST ONE I CELEBRATED WAS IN THE 60S WHEN I LIVED IN GUALDAHARA.....THE INDIOS REALLY KNOW HOW TO PUT ON A SHINDIG...OHHH DID I FORGET LOTS OF THE NATIONAL DRINK FLOWING?? THEY TOSS THOSE SHOOTERS WAY BACK IN THE THROAT BECAUSE THE TONGUE GETS DRUNK FIRST...THEY CLAIM IT MAKES YOU SEE DOUBLE AND FEEL SINGLE...THAT WAS A FUN AFTERNOON THEN ON TO FORT MCCALLASTER TO SEE THE RE-ENACTMENT OF THE END BATTLE OF SHERMANS MARCH TO THE SEA.. WHEN 1000 UNION SOLDIERS WHIPPED 100 CONFEDS...(THATS ABOUT AN EQUAL MATCH) THIS WAS THE LARGEST GROUP OF RE-ENACTORS I HAVE EVER WATCHED ALL WELL UNIFORMED AND THE BATTLE WELL DIRECTED..THE MAIN SWEEP OF INVADERS TOOK PLACE AT SUNSET LOTS OF NOISE AND THEN IN THE DARKNESS FLASHES OF LIGHT FROM RIFLES AND CANNON.. IT WAS WELL WORTH THE TRIP.....NOW THIS PART WILL GET ME IN TROUBLE AS A RACEIST BUT WHERE ARE THE SLAVES WHO FOLLOWED THE UNION TROOPS DIGGING TRENCHES AND COOKING AND OTHER MINOR TASKS???THEY COULD DRESS UP IN TATTERED OVERALLS AND CHANT SONGS LIKE OLD MAN RIVER AND SWING DOWN SWEET CHARIOT RACIST THAT MAY SOUND BUT HISTORICALLY TRUE.. LAST YEAR I WENT TO SEE THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR RE NACTMENT OF THE BATTLE OF SAVANNAH.. ITS AN INTERESTING PLACE TO LIVE WHAT WITH ST. PATS DAY AND ALL THE OTHER HISTORY STUFF..WE EVEN HAD PIRATES ON RIVER STREET AND TYBEE ISLAND....THE HAWK FLIES LOVE TO ALL.. I PICKED UP SOME FRESH SHRIMP ON THE WAY HOME...IM JUST GONNA BOIL THEM AND EAT A BAIT.....LOVE BILL J
