Subject: RE: Mudcat Insomniacs.....
Framus, the Spanish Colonies, formerly known as Alto California! But not a Californio, though I am a second generation native.

Rye whisky, rye whisky, rye whisky I cry.
If I don't get rye whisky I surely will die.

Well I eat when I'm hungry, drink when I'm dry
And if I get thirsty I'll lay down and die.

Just to fill in around your quote.

All the interesting things happen after dark. Most of the world goes missing at that time so there are fewer people to keep track of and you generally know each other. Poets, lovers, burglars, bums, suicidal folks, police and prostitutes, ambulance drivers and real high fliers. Lot's of material for anyone's inspiration, adventure, danger and the more than casual observation. That big orange thing shows everything and nothing. Those faces are all planned in advance but the night reveals all for those who have eyes to see. The secret desires of the heart eschew the light it seems, whether good or evil, they are all vulnerable and thus stay hidden from the day time crowds. Who knew that the CEO could dance like a maniac, that the little wallflower could bloom so widely in the moonlight? I'll take the night.
