And so it begins

And so it begins.

The little clouded countergirl could hardly control her superiority well enough to actually address the white boy's inquiry. He hadn't given me my temporary password correctly and had the audacity to ask his co-worker for help. She was so full of herself and loathing that she was oblivious to her own bumbling. Arrogance and condescension typically anger me, but in classic Will Farrel fashion, hers was also fully injected with stupidity and ignorance, thus making me laugh. He turned away in barely concealed frustration at one point, regained his composure and tried to redirect her enthusiasm to the actual subject, namely, getting me my password. She was having too much fun berating him in front of me and off subject to notice that she should quiet down as she was in fact making a fool of herself.

Today we start work. I put rear brakes on the cruiser bike I will be using. Lots of surf boards lying around. It's okay having this cybercafe. But, I wish I had a laptop. If I did, I would also buy my own coffee maker and good coffee. As it is, good coffee and computer access will inspire me to early mornings. They open at six.

So far, I've slept out on the deck in the rattan bed/lounge. First light has been an excellent alarm clock. I haven't really cruised Lahaina yet. I am going to see if I can invent a Lahaina that I like better than the one I presently know. Phone book, newspapers will be my tools for seeing what else might be going on around here.
