-
- I knew that things were a bit awry when I saw the postings to
- this conference on Friday in the afternoon. Folks were a bit
- quicker to get opinionated. I wondered why...
-
- After putting the fire hose to a flame or two, I decided to
- go to the lounge because nine hours at the terminal usually
- does that to me. Email was overflowing more than usual.
-
- I got to the hotel and picked up an armload of firewood to
- help stoke the real flames in the fireplace. Arriving in the
- lounge, I was piling the firewood next to the hearth when a
- non-regular, who was shooting darts, took them from my arm,
- claiming that it was all going to fall. This was odd.
-
- I thanked him, and took a seat at the bar to look into Tracy's
- big, green eyes. They were a little more watery than usual.
- She got me a pint of the cheap stuff while Mr. Military was
- quietly sitting in the corner. Harold wasn't drunk yet, and
- Al had a new haircut. Bizarre!
-
- The two out-of-towners were finished with the darts, and so they
- sat down at a table and started saying bad things about Vicky.
- They talked about Toronto and Chicago. Other "sophisticated"
- places were on their lips...
-
- I joined them, and they were getting beyond the realm of the
- reasonable somewhat. They were using swear words (!) in the
- drummer's lounge!!!! They were also raising their voices...
-
- Tracy runs a clean lounge, and I cringed with every time the
- word "Fuck" was used. Trouble was brewing. I warned them both
- that this is Vicky, and good folks don't curse in this town.
- Would they listen to my words of caution?
-
- Tracy got wind of the curse words and approached our table
- in the manner of a cross schoolmistress. (She could be my
- mistress any time, BTW...). She warned the two rowdies that
- this is a respectable lounge. They ordered two more Kokanees.
-
- About halfway through the round, there was more in the way
- of an altercation: They got louder, and Trace cut them off.
- She is the boss, after all(and a cuter boss there never was)
- and was finished with tolerating such nonsense.
-
- The bigger troublemaker protested, and so she took his beer
- away(my heroine!!!). He got really obnoxious, and demanded his
- money back. Tracy was calm and cool: She called TheBigDude
- from upstairs!!!
-
- TheBigDude from upstairs came downstairs, and solved the ugly
- scene. He chucked the louder rowdy into the street. Vicky is,
- after all, a respectable town. The quieter rowdy was talking
- and going on about his place in North Ontario. Fehhh! He'sw a
- wuss because he has, get this: Electricity and running water!!!
-
- Everybody knows that RealMachoManlyHomesteadingMen go to the
- crick for drinking water, take a dump in the backhouse, play
- the Jew's harp for entertainment, and cook with cedar boughs.
- The beer gets chilled in the flippin' well, I told him.
-
- He used the "F" word agian, and Tracy(being a RealWoman[TM])
- cut him off and asked him politely to leave. He got outathere
- in order to get chucked out by TheBigDude...
-
- I had to listen to Mr. Military's adventures in WW2 again.
- When he went to the can, Trace and I talked about astrology.
