PART 2

Walking the Streets of Hot Springs
Since we didn't have a ride back to the hotel and we knew that getting a cab would be a tall order, Tammy and I just started walking. We were several miles away from the hotel and the walk was all uphill. Luckily, it was a pleasant night and walking was sure better than standing outside of Boogies, being bothered by freaks.

We had walked about 2 blocks when we saw two club patrons on the street, one was wheelchair dude and the other was in his car talking to him.

We took a deep breath and tried to walk by as quietly as possible so as not to draw attention to ourselves. I said a prayer that we would be protected as we wandered all the way back to the hotel.

We tiptoed past the rear bumper, then made it to the passenger side door, then when we made it to the front bumper with no incident, I thought we were home free. I was just about to breath a sigh of relief when all of a sudden we hear, "Yo Baby! Where ya'll going? Need a Ride? Can I walk wit chooooo?"

We walked faster up the hill and tried to ignore them.

The car followed us for a little while then got the message that we weren't interested and took off. Ahhhhh, sweet freedom.

We sashayed up that hill, stopping every once and a while to smell the honeysuckle. We giggled about the evening and I tried not to complain about the long long walk ahead.

All of a sudden we hear this high-pitched motorized squealing sound:

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR then:

"Hey. baby"
"Hey"
"Hey"
"Hey"

I slowly turned around to see motorized-wheelchair dude, following us.

"How ya'll doin' tonight?", he asked. We walked faster. I mean, certainly, we could outrun a guy in a wheelchair if we had to, right?

There was silence for awhile then:

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
"Hey"
"You girls cain't talk to a brothah?"
(Keep walking, we told ourselves. Just keep on walking.)
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Here he comes again.

Tammy pulls out her knife and says to me, "Man, I really was hoping we could make it back without trouble. Now I'm gonna have to ruin our vacation stabbing some fool."

"What? You have a KNIFE!?" I asked. Tammy don't play!

She whipped out this huge knife and said, "I wish I had my gun. Here. hold this hamburger and my purse" OMG. Here we are in a strange town, with some creep in a wheelchair chasing us. We can't manage to outrun him and Tammy's got a deadly weapon and is not afraid to use it.

I did notice, however, that Tammy had the good sense not to ruin a perfectly nice handbag with the blood of our attacker. What a classy broad.

Tammy is my hero.

I began to sing the Wonderwoman theme song in my head as we dscussed possible names for Tammy's knife. Wheelchair guy got the message and rolled away, thankfully. And we christened the knife, Artemis, Goddess of the Hunt.

We walked the rest of the ten miles back to the hotel and had no more incidents except for a small gang of boys walking nearby who didn't bother us at all. They must have been tourists.

We bad-mouthed the town of Hot Springs the whole way back. When we finally made it back to the hotel at 4:30 a.m., we were seriously hating on Hot Springs, Arkasas. I vowed never to return to this town and thought of our old friend, Coiley who reminded us all that none of this would have been possible without "springs".

We stopped at the front desk for toothpaste and got toothbrushes with toothpaste already n them--fancy. Then wejust gave up and went to sleep at 5 a.m. I dreamed of losing my teeth and Tammy's dream featured Chandler from Friends.

I woke up 3 hours later with a splitting headache and a sore throat. I was also starving since I hadn't eaten since Nana's the day before. I tried to go back to sleep because I knew Tammy didn't want to get up that early but I only managed to stay in bed until 10.

I made some coffee and threw my bunny at her. She made a face at me and refused to get up until I promised her food. Then, we made it down to the restaurant by 11:30. We ate, then went back to sleep until 5 p.m. with plans to go to the racetrack later…

stay tuned for Part 3 coming soon!
