My neighbor Gus, part trois, I'll have to stop soon since I don't speak French. I'll post this now so you early birds have something to start your day with.

So we've lived here for 11 years this month. I never really talked to Gus or Teresa for the first 7 or 8 years, as I said he was always working. We'd wave or say hi on the rare occasions when we did see Gus outside, Teresa was never outside.

So a few years ago after he hooked up with Suc-suc, I mean Lay-lay, oh whatever, we start getting Christmas cards from Gus and what's her name. I thought that was kind of nice, they didn't show up until late January or early February, but hey, it's the thought that counts.

Now these weren't your off the shelve cards, they're the made to order ones with a picture on them. That's probably why they were so late, picking out just the right picture then waiting while they're printed up. Oh ya! a picture of Gus and what's her name on one of their world travels. Gus with his arm around WHN, sporting some trendy shorts with the belt stylishly placed just below the nipples.

Mind you now, Gus is not a follower, he's a leader. So none of that 'belt exactly 1" below the nipple on each side' as current fashion norms would dictate. No, not Gus, he had that 'devil may care' look going. Only a 1/2" down on one side and a full 2" on the other, what a crazy guy.

I'll have to see if Lynda saved any of those Christmas cards so I can post one of the pictures. I'm sure she did, she usually saves those really special cards you only get now and then. That would start you guys day off right.

Oh, I should put the telephoto lens on the camera and see if I can get a picture of Gus next time he's outside. I'm sure he'll be wearing his powder blue flannel jammy pants. He's had them on every time I've seen him since they came back from FL, sure hope they've been washed in that time.

He wears them at a stylishly high level as well, close to the armpits but not quite. Maybe he just has them up there so they don't drag in the mud that keeps mysteriously showing up in the street in front of his house. Sure wish I knew what's going on with that, pretty disturbing situation.
