Any Other Business?
Dear All,
“The people that you meet in your neighborhood...”
On my second day in town, whilst waiting outside the “Lucky Market” with a new mop, ironing board and a complete assortment of living supplies, I was clearly targeted and approached by an odd, plump, “Western” looking man, obviously struggling with the heat despite the considerable efforts of the mall’s air conditioning. Before I could get my shopping cart in gear, he asked me quickly if I was new in town, whether I was a Marine, and did I have any kids?
Noting my disenchantment the stranger was quick to produce a business card (thankfully nothing else). No need to fear he said, I am a children’s performer, magic teacher and video producer and am eager to entertain any youngsters you may have or know of.
Mystery unswirled.
Cheers,
Mw
