I have been out a lot these past ten days or so. My therapist thinks I am responding to the anti-depressant medicine while my psychiatrist thinks it is a placebo effect! Which ever, I do not really care. I like it that I feel like I am slowly getting my real self back.

Anyway, Last Thursday I ran in to an
“Old Car” show which I thought was cool, but I figured out today, this Thursday, that the show is held each single Thursday of the week till almost the end of the summer.

Here are some photos of the show, and how crowded it gets for a small but pretty suburb.








Anyway, on one day on my way back to home, I was tired and I was hot. The weather was too hot to walk, so I thought to stop at a bar in which I had little to no clue of. All I used to see of the bar was a wall and a door, so I used to avoid it. However, curiosity and thirst and tiredness encouraged me to have a look inside. To my surprise, the place was fine. Two pool, or billiard, tables, a juke box and other entraining toys and a very pleasant and polite bar tender were the first things I noticed. The people who played pool seemed to be good at what they were doing, so I enjoyed watching them play.

After a while, some one sat next to me since the bar was pretty full and crowded. He was a middle aged guy. I suppose that is how it goes, but he introduced himself and we shook hands. So we started to talk from here and there! He was surprised of my back-ground and very curious about Iran to which, I responded and answered his questions the best I could.
Before I go on, this is a bit of the conversation which took place:

He: Are you Italian?
Me: No, I am Persian.
He: But, Persian includes many countries.
Me: I am from the main Persia. I am from Iran.

Anyway, long story short, he told me that it was nice to have a normal conversation with a normal person.

Here goes the dialogue:

He: It is nice to have a normal conversation with a normal person, do you know what I mean?
Me: No.
He: Girls in bars usually are after your pocket or you pants.
Me:'mute'
He: Do you know what I mean?
Me: Yes.
He: You are a nice person.
He: Be careful.
Me: Thanks for the advice.

Here I am the Normal person who engages in Normal conversations!!! BOY…who is Normal???????
