#1 I found myself packed into a corner, confused, like I had a Ford Cologne V6 spinning on my head, and low on oil. I found my legs, wobbly, and took a step into despair, failing to move, cannot see, cannot hear. Seconds turn into years. Clarity as I understand Maisha is in front of me, dark and quiet, desperately trying to not make noise as she fought the choking dust.

The moonlight flickers through Maisha's window, sparking the dust on the bottle of Caliph Calvert. The swig is muddy....near miss, RPG I would say by the smell. Oh no! moving by memory to my favorite seat, my fear is confirmed. The drawing by Mahmoud the Weasel is destroyed! Did the RPG miss us, or hit the target?

#2 My question is who hates Eddie Mercx so much they'd burn an RPG round on such a poor likeness? The BBQ here is bad, like the Camel Calvert, magic-8-ball sez lite out.
