pacific pesos

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

San Francisco, 2000.05.16

Been flown here by i7 for two days. It took 21 hours to get here, and will take 17 hours getting back. This is how business is done, I spoze. Seems insane from the point of view of 10 hours of jet lag.

The guy behind the counter in Sydney's airport made a funny. He referred to Canadian and Australian dollars as 'Pacific Pesos'.

rand()m quote

I'm pleased and happy to repeat the news that we have, in fact, caught and killed a large predator that supposedly injured some bathers. But, as you see, it's a beautiful day, the beaches are open and people are having a wonderful time.
