Is it safe to come out now?

Wow. That's a pretty amazing amount of drama to fit into an 18 hour day. The roof is patched. I'm not happy with the slightly mismatched color, but what are you gonna do? The van's windows are restored. I've patched up the house windows. Anything else was gravy.

As we were cleaning up in the yard, we kept seeing bits of glass. Everywhere. It was the safety glass from the van. Thousands of glass granules spread through the yard, little glistening pebbles of Honda OEM. Anyone have a clue how I'll get rid of that? I thought about a shop-vac, but I keep imagining I'll look like Rick Moranis in Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, peering through the lawn with a magnifying glass, trying to vacuum up every last shard. I need a Hoover for St. Aug grass.

And I missed a crucial day of work, as I'm preparing for a long weekend off for Carnival. I may work Thursday, which I wasn't, just to make up the time. That's crap, really, because I wanted to be up by Napoleon early for the three parades Thursday night. Everybody say "Muses!".

Shit. I'm going to bed.

Cafe Bayard...my friend Mark owns the building - it used to be the gothic statue shop...he's making an authentic Parisian Cafe...he imported a bunch of stuff in to stock the place...he's been trying to open it for almost a year now...finally has everything in place....

have you been to Little Tokyo yet?

No! Have you? I'm dying to hear a review from someone I know. I used to hit the one on Causeway, the original, but I don't know if this is the same owner. I did hear the hibachi tables, once advertised on the sign, are not actually there.
