Another Milt's Bar Closes

Friday

Just what is going on here? The hand-written note on the bar door says, "Closed until further notice". Unfortunately it's not the Hole In The Ground.

That makes two closed bar reports this week.

We walk on to the next bar and are surrounded by people with mobile phones. Messages flying here there and everywhere.

Are there really people out there who are desperate to know where you are and what lousy beer you are drinking and what mindless garbage Bill or Billie just came out with? I suppose there must be.

I stand next to a table with five people - four mobile phones sitting on the table waiting for a message - one person texting like mad. Eventually two of the guys give up waiting for a message and rediscover speech.

Thank God that dodgeball.com hasn't got to Bogsville yet.
