Yale park.....jolted some good feeling memories.
The Pit has been the pit for over 30 years...getting a kazillion million $$ re-do.
A$$holes dumping big bucks on vanity and not more important things.
The Roach Ranch I'd long forgotten about so thanks for that bit from the past too.

I had my 57th BD yesterday the 12th and went on an hour drive looking for a small water pipe for cheap until later when I may build up a glass on glass Pyrex my way.

First stop was TNA and what a crappy bummer that was.

the front door was blocked with a small note saying to use the side door.
Went to the side door and was locked tight.
Rattled the glass trying to open.

Walked away and a girl opened up the door and made some bitchy remark it was open.
Iretorted it was not.
She was in a back room then another gal walked out fixing her shirt.
I asked where the water pipeswere...(I know the rules of bong a nono word).
She said in the room on the other side of the building.
I asked where and for atleast a finger point.
Went back in where the pipes were and several guys were standing around and a bunch of pipes all over as a delivery was being taken in.
I politely keep out of the way and gaze over the views for what I had in mind.
Some scruffy ass guy rudely asked what I was looking for.
Told him plain as day and went from there.
He kept going back to the bongs and I wanted a flask type water pipe glass on glass.
He was contrary and went to another bong.
I said those pipes all have a large tube and I want a pipe like a pipe...not like a big ass rube.
He differed again and I explained the parts of the bongs and kept telling him the tube part...that is the bamboo that was a bong now a glass rube is not what I wanted.
He said shut up and walk out now.
I asked WHAT?
He got even more rude and then had a nasty confrontational tone.
Well....birthday or just another Friday I took far more than I normally do and firmly explained myself as he stuffed in his snide crappy BS.
At one point I had to look over my shoulder as a big foomanchoo wearing bald shaved dude was approaching.
All I could do was be nice but nice don't mean weak or easy.
I asked if they were looking to take me out as a group or one at a time or what.
Shit.....pansy ass wannabes so ripped they couldn't complete a sentence.
I called their bluff by turning my back to them and went to the front.
Asked the girl who had the door locked where the boss was.
She said in the other part of the building.
SIGH.
She got it nailed down where and who as she said the guy with scruffy beard and beanie on.
I said he was?????
He's who I was hoping to get fired for being a jerk.
She said some crappy bit and I let go with a tell him to go and F mself.
Walked out and drove off.
Went to the Gas Pipe and what a pleasant change they were.
Friendly and even said hello and a high when I walked in.
Told them about TNA and they laffed as they knew as most do TNA is a crappy place with a loser for an owner.
Then my cell phone rang.
I normally don't answer when in a store but my delivery man was due and no way did I want to miss his delivery!
Sheeesh!!!
Like a bomb was going to blow the place up if I answered it.
I did as I walked out with wallet on counter.
The call was my insurance agent wishing me a happy day.
The guys explained why no calls allowed and were nice about it and all was fine.

I got a tiny stopper kinda water pipe that'll do for now and the new smoke smoked well in it last nite and even a morning toke as well.

Will be great when there's good harvests from growing my own.
