Fiesta For Justice

For Monday May 5, 2014, around 6:00 p.m.: Today is Cinco de Mayo, a popular holiday in Mexico and the United States, that was started by Mexican-Americans in the American West to champion the cause of freedom during the early years of the American Civil War. It commemorates the Battle of the Puebla, where the Mexican Army, lead by Ignacio Zarzoga Seguin defeated the French forces of Napoleon III.

I decide to celebrate by going to one of the many Mexican restaurants here in San Francisco. I take a quick shower in my office, and put on my White Peasant Blouse (from Victoria's Secret) my Summer Fun Skirt (a pull-on elastic, A-line skirt with lots of ""swing."" Coral (Bright Red) from Soft Surroundings) my Red NuFoot Women's Ballet Barefoot Slippers, and my Men's Rosary Style Necklace (from JC Penny). I pick up my purse, and my 20x69 inches Hunter Green Men's Dakota Scarf, putting it on like a shawl. I leave my office, being very sure to close and lock the door as I go.

I get in my unmarked ACME police vehicle, and go to Tropiseuno at 75 Yerba Lane, avoiding all the crowds on the street in the Mission St. area. This is the first time I have been to this restaurant. But during the daytime, it is a very casual Mexican eatery. But at night, it is a warm, yet very formal full-service restaurant. A hostess comes over and shows me to a table.

She hands me a menu. A waitress comes out. She says,""I am your Server. May I take your order?""
I decide to have Nachos (warm, thin chips, with grilled marinated steak (my choice) beans, melted cheese pico de gello, crema, and guacamole). Even though it a very busy night, Imy food. I enjoy my food. It's been a long time since I had some really good nachos!!


Everything seems uneventful, until my Server comes back to my table a little bit later. She asks me,""How was your food? Is there anything else that I can get you?""
""Yes, It was very good. No, there's there's nothing else that I want now, except to pay for my food."" As I reach into my purse, to take out a major credit card, my Server says,""Oh, no, you don't have to do that. Someone has taken care of it for you.""
I look at the check, and there is a note with it that says,""I'm glad you got out and had a little fun tonight. See you next crime, Agent Justice."" ;)


I say to my Server,""Did you see the person who left this for me? !!""
My server says,""No.""
As I jump up from the table, I leave one of my ACME business cards on it. I run out of the restaurant.
I look everywhere. But once again, The Elusive Carmen Sandiego has just vanished into thin air!!
I say to myself,""Uggghhh!! How does she always do that? !!"" :)

    one of the GOOD spiders you want around because they eat all the really bad bugs in the house. We put them outside :)

    @Lucy ... don't know if you really want wolf spiders in your home... I'd go for jumping spiders, they can't bite... wolf spiders are the fast movers, and they can bite.

    ((Will lose my ACP internet towards the end of the month, unless anyone knows about it ending sooner. Trying to switch my Lifeline phone to a better provider that doesn't shut me off after four and a half gigs of data, nothing but failure so far and "call here" and "it's on their end" and the back and forth crap... in the morning, it's time to demand the supervisor and might even get to harsh language (after three days of that). I plan to use the Lifeline phone tethered as Internet source, share that to my own router... I've done it before (it's messy, and not 100% effective, but it works). ))

    ((The 'net is the main way to apply for jobs now, so I need that, and I've moved/changed Lifeline providers before without an issue, so no idea what the problem is. I have active Verizon through ACP, active Lifeline through Airtalk... is that somehow the issue? If anyone knows, please let me know before I tear someone a new one (ya know what I mean). After three days of this, and two days about a month ago, I'm ready to walk there with katana in hand.))
