staked

Now that its been just over four months in this palatial bastian of broadmindedness and community spirit I feel like I'm almost a part of the furniture. Y'know, like my house - minimal, spartan - a sit on the floor member of the locale. I've met a few people and soon I might even have more than a phone number (so I can think about talking to other people even when they aren't standing in front of me, like in Woolies or outside the Post Office). And if my persistence pays off in a few more months I might be a coveted member of the Town Social Scene....but the Wet season is coming....and I am going away (like everyone else) for a few weeks....I hope I'm not back to square one when I get back...
