Stop in for a cup of coffee

All you go nighty night, my bag is all packed up and the driver is on the way from Saigon to pick me up here in Vinh Long. I will be spending 2 or 3 weeks in the outskirts of Saigon with my new girlfriend. We will celebrate Tet together with her and her people. Should be a lot of fun.

Well I don't have to tell you have fun.

So I wasn't quick enough to get pics of the fighting cocks, but at this Cafe by the river, The quiet One, a guy was sitting here by himself for about a half an hour when another guy showed up with two bags made of grasses or something and they were closed. So the guy that shows up reaches into one of the bags or baskets if you will, and pulls out a fighting ****. So the other guy takes it and looks it over real well. Checks the legs and the feet so and so guy puts it back in the bag and brings the other one out for the guy to check. He checks it over, guy puts it back in the bag. The guy that inspected the merchandise pays the guy that brought the fighting Cocks 6 million Dong. That's about $240 USD. It is illegal in Vietnam, but fighting cocks and betting on them and gambling is big business here. I was just surprised to see the exchange happening in a cafe.

I have a love Bird.
 
So, how many of you know about the elusive **** You Gecko?? Aka: The Tokay Gecko??. Well, they are prevalent in South Vietnam. I hear them every night. Apparently this is the mating call of the male. But I contend that they are saying **** Me instead of **** You. I made this recording One night late on the balcony of my house last week. Sometimes they are a little closer but you can still hear this one if you turn up the volume and listen closely. I'd like to hear consensus of what you all think it is actually saying, **** You?, or **** Me? Video and audio attached.

Good morning coffee gang. I had a small army here yesterday. They put my 59 Sweptside back together, moved Christmas tree boxes downstairs, put table in place, charged car batteries, started old 2000 Ram and hooked up plow. My boy, my two brothers, and two buddies
