Back at Shaka Taco - Valentine's Day

| No Comments
While driving around, I saw another place advertising Free WiFi and although I am really happy with the people at Shaka Taco, I thought I would check this new place out as it seemed to be a very nice funky sort of place. Sort of like our store but scaled back and run entirely by hippies. (Not that our's isn't already...) The first clue was the calendar with this coming Monday's Movie being some "documentary" about the Zionist occupation of "palestinian" lands. The filmmaker was coming to present the film and was going to lead a discussion after. I am halfway tempted to attend and ask a few questions about Yasser Arafat's origins (he was a KGB plant trying to destabilize the new Israel). I would also be curious to see if a palestinian can purchase land in Jordan or anywhere else in the Middle East (they cannot -- they are universally reviled). I would also be curious to know about the tens of thousands of palestinians who are living and working in Israel (the people staging the marches and protests are a tiny minority). The other thing that really got me about that place is that they only served "alternative" food items. I wasn't in the mood for a sandwich or baked good although they looked good. I wanted something cold and wet. They were out of all of their fruit juices, the only thing they had was some brand of canned soda. I got a peach one and my first sip filled my palate with a blast of tannins. Turns out the thing was based on Green Tea. If I wanted to have a Green Tea, I would have ordered it hot and without sugar and peach nectar. Reminds me of that "Carob" fetish that the health ninnys were on a few years ago -- Carob this and Carob that never admitting that Carob has the taste of wet moldy cardboard and that it is not by any stretch Chocolate. And then they find that Chocolate has positive health benefits... Ha. Ha. Ha. Oh yeah, their WiFi was so bad as to be unusable. I got dropped a couple of times -- I was getting a strong signal, their network was at fault. Anyway, back "home", sitting by the sidewalk with the Trade Winds blowing a warm 78 degrees and sipping my Coke.
