This one fairly shouts it's point and I'm listening. Yes.

I can see that restaurant now filled with lovelies and their money men.

Dax, your original and unique voice is always rewarding to read. Thank you for sharing

A really sparkling read, Dax, thanks.

Favorite lines:

"A-head, then, on an empty wallet"

"playboys and bottles of plasma"

One expression stumps me a bit - help, anyone?: "that, which would have most down as pickpockets and charlatans".

I inserted [people] between most and down and it clicked for me.

Ah! I see. I get it now. Thanks, Lavonne. Tom

Dax,

love it.  as stated, your unique voice and
pen are always rewarding.

Like this -especially those first two sentences - M

Dax,  a delight to find your polished jaded voice at work.

Wonderful ease-ful complexity of syntax too.  Maybe pushes a wee bit far in the last S, with the "that" ..... "this"?

A flock of guilty pleasurses is a glorious image, i'm thinking a cross between peacocks and vultures   :)

Thank you, everyone. My pleasure, to be sure.

ciao, ciao
