"Hey buddy, we are running way behind and are on the highway passing through your town, but we wanted to call and tell you 'hi'anyway." I thank them...for calling me and tell them to have a safe trip when I realize that they are only ten minutes away from me and If I make a u-turn It's possible I could at least wave to them. 15 minutes later I'm slowly pullIng up behind them on the highway and there she Is! She's smiling and her hands are going for emaphasis as she's talking to Gregg. Tammy. But they won’t.They had watched, downstairs, when I arrived. The mistress of the house, Alice, made a good show of ordering me to strip.It’s not as if I arrived dressed like a housewife, either. The trench coat I wore against the drizzle concealed a tight black blouse, a confining little black pencil skirt, NSFW really, unless you have some colorful fantasies about office life. Ditto the stockings, the sharp four-inch patent heels.All the same, Alice has her own ideas about appropriate attire.. Dada bollo ke? Ami bollam oi je tui cheletake dhomke esechili se.

The high walled town sat atop a bluff with a twisty path running down its face. A crowd of strong men came forth and began the descent. They carried spears. We waited for them on the beach."Stay together men. Don't wander off. Together we will greet our new hosts."Several fishermen tended to their boats maybe fifty yards away. They watched us cautiously. The captain called to them, but they didn't respond.The men from the town arrived, perhaps twenty-five in all, but well-armed and fresh.
