12 Proof Outlaw

it started innocently enough. i went for a walk with mp and met some of our potential neighbors. there are some very hot girls in the lbc, and there are some very friendly pups. seriously though, you should at least ask before you stick your nose in someone's crotch. that goes for the dogs, too.

we met a nice lady. i'll call her gladys, because i can't remember her real name, but she wore these cool 50's style glittery glasses and laughed like a truck stop waitress-- all snort and fluttering breast. gladys is a licensed electrician and general contractor that found her true love after getting her degree in architecture at usc. she's a good girl to know. she also likes an occasional brew on her front porch after work.

this, of course, is where i come in.

while mp was talking to gladys, i roamed around the porch, being sure to make sure mp was firmly attached to her leash. if i let that one run loose, she tends to jump on people and slobber all over them, so i keep her in line.

i moseyed over to this interesting bench that gladys had designed. inside the lid, there were blankets and cushions for her porch swing... and beer. beer that were kept cold by the refrigeration system gladys had built into the bench. it was like puppy nirvana, and what better way is there to show love but to climb in and get down with the blankets and beer?

it took me a while to figure out that the metal containers can be bitten open, but i didn't want to interrupt mp and her new playmate....

when they found me, i was soaked and a little tipsy, but let me tell you: that is the best porch in all of long beach. i highly recommend everyone give it a visit.
