FAMILIAR HEATH

One of the places to which I go in Chinatown is looking more like a bordello anteroom than ever before. The taste expressed, such as it is, makes bad-taste auntie with the blue and pink leopard spot leggings seem like a rank amateur. Oo-wee! But I like the owner. He's a good man, his milk tea is excellent, and he makes interesting snackies. So far be it from me to speak ill of his venture. Instead, I will continue to patronize his fine establishment while keeping my eyes deliberately out of focus for most of my stay there.

It's an excellent preamble to smoking a W.Ø.Larsen.
For some reason tourists are scared to enter.
Might be because of the décor.
Très Européen!


Please imagine a country hostelry precisely where the cuisine changes from electric green mushy peas to deep-fried Snickers bar. Greasy fish and sheep gut compote on both sides of that border for several miles. Eventually civilization fades out and unintelligible heathen gibberish takes over. No, not Yorkshire. It's worse. Much much worse.

Some mighty fine pipe tobacco comes from there.
As well as potted ptarmigan.
Now also, apparently, 粵式早茶 ('yuet sik jou chaa'; Cantonese style morning tea). As was advertised by a poster showing scrumptious dim sum items. I have not thought of that place as a possible early morning destination. As of tea time yesterday, I now shall do so.

Dim sum is the perfect fortification a man needs for facing the savage hordes.
That being both tourists and techo-yuppies in San Francisco.
As well as Fox News fanboys.



Water flows downhill from the mountains, eastward, gathering detritus and pollution as it goes. By the time it hits Milwaukee it is a densely putrid mass of sewage, both loud and tumultuous in addition to toxic. There are loathsome orcs and ogres swimming in it.
Perfect for Milwaukee. A veritable sludge bucket of a place.
Most segregated city in the country.
Unclean.
