Oh!
I think I just had a scientific breakthrough!
Or at least, a “Eureka!” moment.
(Appropriately enough,since Eureka happens to be, as well, a city in California.)
Anyway…. earthquakes.
California.
We’re used to ’em.
Ground shakes.
Knickknacks fall.
Floop, crash, tinkle, plop…. “Did something break, Hannah?” “Just a little earthquake Floyd… go back to sleep.” “ZZZzzzzz….”
No big deal, we think…
But the shaking… the cumulative effect of those small rattles and the nano-bits of distant disturbance that reach us….
WOW…. it might explain why the rest of the country finds us a bit…. um…. different…..
And we find them….. let’s call it “inexplicable.”
Bilan…..
You’re right.
The Tiki Bar isn’t open 24/7.
Sheriff MonkeyBlues, the proud owner of the Tiki, insists that we stay open for your drinking and dining pleasure, 25 hours a day.
That’s 365 days a year. 366 in Leap Years.
Which is why I’m on my shift, managing the bar, and either Fenton or I will gladly take your order, at 3am exactly.
California time.
