You haven't been here in a few years, I take it. This place is the friggin UN. I'd guess half the population here is foreign born, and on any particular day I hear a half-dozen different languages. And not necessarily the same half-dozen I heard yesterday. We have the "second largest cities" of a whole bunch of nationalities. Some day a terrorist will light off a nuke here, kill a million people of which a few dozen will be native Americanos.

We used to make trips to Fisherman's in full regalia and put on a show to give the tourists something to photograph besides boats and tacky stores. Pink Team is JFQ's quaint and mildly refrained way of referring to those of the queer persuasion. But having been in rural Alabama for many years, I find his Pink Team stuff tame and dismissable. Another roll of the eyes and a "yeah, whatever." Compared to the guy that chased me for two years in the hopes of cutting me into little pieces and leaving me (my bits) in the woods, it ain't nothin'.
