Great News and tidbits

This is one of the Logos we were working with last year when brain storming on QuiXotes. The original plan is down the drain and I am going to sell the property and close on it this month. I made money on the real estate so alls well that ends well and I have moved on to the New QuiXote's Restaurant which is located inside the Europa Hotel on Pedro Clisante in Sosua, Dominican Republic.
.
There is actually a window between the Hotel Lobby and the restaurant and I made a plastic graphic of the guy on the horse below and put it in the window or at least it is something similar to the one below. Yesterday I had the pleasure of welcoming a new member to the Escott Family. My goats of which I had 3 Billy, Goat and son of these two Butthead. Well Butthead now has a brother born yesterday and unlike Butthead who looks exactly like his momma Goat the brother looks exactly like his daddy Billy.
.
Now we need to have a baby naming and I am looking for suggestions for brother of Butthead so please make your comments and suggestions.
.
Today is Election Day in the Dominican Republic. Yesterday they closed down bars in town at 7pm and they cant reopen till 7pm today. FUnny that they didn't close all of them down, only ones on one side of town. Perhaps payoffs were smaller?
.
Being in this country from Good Friday to election day is something I don't enjoy. You have these maniacs with the loudspeakers on everything from 4 wheelers to Mack Trucks blasting NOISE at you constantly. Then you have political rallys where they drive in one direction with over 100 cars and trucks taking over 4 lanes on a two lane road forcing all oncoming traffic off the road. I have never seen anything as disrespectful as this before and I refused to pull over. Matter of fact I wouldn't even slow down and you had to see their faces when I was coming at them fast and NOT YIELDING to their stupidity!
.
I think I will try and avoid being here during that period of time next year and highly recommend that everyone else does.
.
This morning when I was coming into the restaurant some disrespectful IDIOT in a large SUV stops to chat with some other dope in the middle of the road. He doesn't care about anyone around him only his dumb ass self. When he finally moved on the guy he was talking to tried to walk in front of my car to the street. I think I gave him a few grey hairs when I wouldn't let the SOB cross in front of me.
.
I am the kind of driver that stops to let people cross the street. You have to see the look on a Dominicans face when this happens. I am not sure that they don't think I am setting them up and going to run them over as soon as they get in front of me they are in such disbelief that anyone would extend common courtesy to them. I guess courtesy is just not in the culture of most of the Dominicans I see driving. I don't know why.
.
Ok, I have just ranted. Maybe it is the stress of opening up a restaurant? Go figger!
.
Back to work as I only have 3 more days to go!
.
Hasta Pronto!
