1997-12-03 Rainy day in Walpole
Gray and raining a bit today. Shopped for
breakfast and supper. Bought some powdered milk to try out. Read
newspaper and did journal until early afternoon. Did the last three
days. Ate lunch in the "best restaurant in town". Nice bright
decore, but not really good food. Went for a walk to Coalmine
Beach. Windy and gray. A bit like the Sunshine Coast of B.C. Came
back for sieste. Supper was pretty bad because I bought a 400ml
container of peanut saty sauce thinking that it was marinated meat.
Carrots satay avec du riz à la Suisse-Canadien. Beurk! Met
three Americans; Michael, Alison and Jason. M. and A. had liberal
arts educations and J. was business. Did my usual libertarian
tirade and didn't convince anyone, M. bing most "lberal" and A.
being most concerned about the "disadvantaged". J. somewhat
resigned. Asked M. that if he ever has some influence in Africa,
that he try to convince people to put a "none of the above" box on
the ballots. Ch. and I played chibre to see who carries the black
pack tomorrow. Ch. lost. (Chier!)
