A Visit to the Rustic Cafe

Yesterday was Jaco's birthday. So we went out to the Rustic Cafe for a few drinks. Also there were Rory, Charl, Bernard, and Mahen (short for Mahendra, a colleague of Jaco's). Had a good time drinking beer and chatting with friends. Discussion ranged between Go, Final Fantasy, violence in South Africa, the Bush administration and American politics, heteropaternal superfecundation, Charl's irritation with stupid customers, Mahen's Indian heritage and their liking for curries, the dead-end nature of Bloemfontein and Pietermaritzburg, my honeymoon, the "don't-mess-with-us" attitude of Free State cops, dead people winning elections and collecting pensions, and a number of other topics.
