Field Notes - Dispatch 9 – Palm
Desert
Hello Fellow Adventurers!
This is just a quick note to let you
know that I have posted a new photos at www.twinters.com
if you would like to look at them. They include the horse hopping
rodeo from Sunday.
Car Advice: If you are considering
purchasing a Lamborghini do not kick the tires or attempt to pry open
the hood to look at the motor. This sets off the proximity alarms in
the car being examined and all of the other Lamborghinis in the
immediate area. They sound like a pack of wolves howling for
vengeance. MR witnessed just such a occurrence at the Palm Desert
Rodeo. The chap who actually made this mistake was quickly
restrained by several large security men, escorted out to the
decorative picket fence, and booted over it.
MR says that guy was a knucklehead. It
became obvious that it is difficult to dicker on price when being
booted over a picket fence. It puts a fellow in a very weak
negotiating position.
I bet that fellow's arms and tail bone
still hurt.
