Gimme the beat boys and free my soul

A lot of trucks park outside our window every morning with their engines running. The Fed-Ex guy also likes to stop for a smoke break which can last an hour. Many of these drivers like the classic rock'n'roll. The other morning I woke up to Santana's "Drift Away". It's been in my head ever since. It's magic or something.

The deli next door to our apartment, which you can see in the photo, sells a 24 ounce can of Coors for $1.50. If I'm sitting around reading and feel thirsty, it takes about 15 seconds to be back in my chair with a beer. Unfortunately, the deli closes at about six o'clock every day. So this evening I turned the corner and walked a half block to another bodega. I discovered 99 cent Pabst in a 22 ounce bottle! Now that's Brooklyn! It was an exciting emotion, but also melancholy when I realized I have such little time left here in South Williamsburg.
