“Ya es desil fuhl” I had to hone my listening skills working with a moving  crew from back East. What? I asked “ya that is diesel fuel.” I knew exactly what he was talking. NOS Red Bull monster Rockstar.  Some go through stages me  I got strung out fast. 2008 I moved to Las Vegas, stayed  with friend until escrow closed. Javier  had a tenant who was a rockstar rep and this dealer oops I mean guy would threw a case or two his way. Next thing you know I was up to 3 a day, got the 2 gardeners hooked. The grounds never looked better. I would wake up & first thing I’d reach for a cold one. The gardeners started at the house first thing in the morning instead of later. OMG.  As luck would have it, my condo was ready  and I was cut off.  My poker game suffered because if you have enough money and time your luck will change. Why this particular energy drink? Music to my ears ” No crash”

TWINE this word I know describes a thin strong rope. Flesh, breast , task. and fast are my favorite words. Not their definition or what they mean when I say or write them down  Theses words  involve & require your mouths full attention. I love saying them slow and complete. I had a dream this morning don’t really remember it but the word twine made its debut and now it’s my favorite word.

When “The Secret” books tapes came on scene some say “Oh yea I get it” the part I love is the subconscious momentum. Here’s an Example. I am determined to learn Mandarin. I am driving everyone nuts with talking out loud the audio tapes & singing. Recently while waiting in a large room empty except a lady with a pad who looks up & says “I hope you don’t mind I’m studying Mandarin” next thing you know I’m in stitches because she’s a tipsy and she also speaks French so the tones sounded French.  We start dishing it up as hens do cackling and what have you. Then while on a train  I offer my seat to a gal & her 91 year old mom she’s say no “I’m going let my mom sit here and ask the attendant to take her to her room in a little bit” I blurt out I can take her back and watch her” “Well she has Alzheimers” “I’m a nurse” I said.  “Besides I need to practice..” Next thing you know she sits down we laugh she corrects me without regarding my feelings “Your Tones are all wrong” “You better be careful not to call your mother a horse” Met a teenager from Shanghai and we talked about a movie she said “yes after that movie came out every girl wanted a gay boyfriend” All this went down in 2 days enough to keep the momentum.

Half hour stop Starlight Coastline. Peeps off train outside for stretch or smoky treat. Then I see heavy set dude get on as he moves toward a bath area. Several Amtrak men in loud stern voices telling guy ” Get off the train” no

comply 5 guys now man up around him popo called trespass ticket quick ride to station. Apparently he got kicked off another earlier train.  Funny thing me & another guy felt bad for the dude. He could have timed it better or walked away. He may have wanted a place to rest or  eat and maybe he succeeded.

Kids pulling away from their parents hold in hopes to explore before “All aboard”   the white brocade like ceilings so clean crisp and grand. Consensus not one negative comment about Seattle.  Did the Mariners win “nobody cares” it’s football season.

Million Dollar condos Boeing and Amazon.  Foodies paradise fresh & delicate morsels sway & soon those snobs.  The subtleties like coffee in sweet little gestures is enough to set the tone.  Ferry to Bainbridge Saquamish casino for a fix oops I mean Poker

Anticipating the train ride back to Los Angeles truth be told I looking for a word that describe a mild version of dread. 1st time out drank Fireball whiskey ate food with intention of coma to sleep away the time. But then the fellow passengers made it worthwhile.  On my way back I plan on learning and listening more. Ziajian & Shalom

Brochure reads dine with fine china. It’s was fine plastic from China.  The smokers going nuts e – cigs ” anything that emits ” not allowed. Tall folks 6’6 prefer this mode of travel vs plane.  Cocktails enjoyed by many. Older crowd peppered with hipster types all moving about the cabins. I still sleepy.
