I do not profess to know why she decides on a particular day to wear the high or higher heels.

The woman with the nice wardrobe and the ample cleavage: I have mentioned that she wears nice shoes, from serious to fun to flirty. On infrequent occasions she wears high heels to the bar. High heels, and even higher heels. This attracts attention.

Apart from the ample cleavage she is slender but not too skinny. So: in high heels and higher heels she cuts an impressive figure. Men stare. They stare more when she crosses the room. Or leans over to take a pool shot. These actions attract still more attention.

I do not profess to know why she decides on a particular day to wear the high or higher heels; she is dressed well, but usually not in a nightclub way. There must be a decision-making process that is layered and faceted. Or it is intuitive, and easily decided upon in the morning when selecting shoes. Either one. Again: I don't profess to know. Or even sound like I might know.

When she sits at the bar she is at her regular, accustomed height. There is no apparent clue to the high and higher heels, other than the guy with the foot fetish is paying even more attention to her feet. Foot fetishes: again, I don't profess to know. Or even sound like I might know.

But when she stands: she is now noticeably taller. High and higher heels will do this to someone's height, I understand the concept on that one. But it is mildly jarring: you are used to a certain height discrepancy, and now it has been changed. She is up here, now. How you carry yourself in conversation adjusts slightly to the new stature, both physically and subconsciously, if you include self-consciously to mean that you are plainly conscious of it. But trying not to think about it. She is up here now.

And that means the cleavage is up here now, too. Of which it is hard not to be conscious. There seems to be a way she carries herself that is different, too, and not just in the ergonomics. A boost of confidence, perhaps. Yes: boost, high heels, you see what I am doing there. Maybe it is a stature of complex and intersecting dynamics. Because she is dynamic in those heels, high and higher.

For some reason I also picked up several two-packs of hard-boiled eggs from the refrigerated section.

I am hazy about how it started; alcohol was probably involved. I would walk past a group of heroin kids outside what was, at the time, the Big 5 Sporting Goods store. They typically had a cardboard sign on the sidewalk, asking for money. Sometimes the writing on the cardboard attempted to be clever, or funny, or appeal to emotion, with the occasional decorative squiggly lines or smiley face; sometimes it just simply asked. I was at the Bartell's Drugs on the corner, picking up a few items, of which I cannot remember. For some reason I also picked up several two-packs of hard-boiled eggs from the refrigerated section. Outside the store, as I approached the heroin kids, I took the eggs out of the bag, and then gave the packages to them. They were a bit baffled, but appreciative. Maybe a bit disappointed it wasn't just cash. I wasn't going to give them money which then would inevitably be used for drugs; I figured the eggs weren't worth selling for them, and h

They often tell the women and the college girls they have coke: they don't need to find someone that has it: they already do. And it is back at their place.

David Foster Wallace had a collection of short stories entitled "Brief Interviews with Hideous Men"; at times, this seems like a perfectly reasonable title for conversations that happen with some people at the bar. Maybe not truly hideous; I could check a thesaurus for a synonym that seems somewhat lighter, but it is just easier to say I could check a thesaurus for a synonym that seems somewhat lighter, and you'll know what I mean. I have mentioned the broken men before, and those that instill distaste.They are usually obvious as losers: poor posture, poor bodies, questionable hygiene, enervated, isolated. The broken men who inspire fear -- sometimes it is just a vibe that says prison, or possible serial killer. The kind of guy most women instinctively know to never get in a car with. But there are also the broken losers who look like winners. They show up in a fashionable suit and tie; they wear an expensive watch, expensive shoes. Maybe mid-twenties; maybe earl

The guys who were trying to f**k her didn't even buy her a drink: there really are useless people in this world.

I ran off to do some errands -- sometimes there is life that needs to be conducted outside of the bar -- and when I returned the girl with the tattoos and the streaked hair from a bottle who just quit her job was still there. She can hold her alcohol, but she now has had more alcohol than she could reasonably hold. The unseemly part of bar life is now happening: most of the regulars have left, and a few young men are around her, commiserating. That is, they are commiserating with her in the hopes that being the commiserating guy will get her to drunkenly go home with them and fuck. Hyenas. I usually keep a distance to people's dramas: you can't make everyone make a good decision. But I cannot let this happen. I slide between her and one of the guys and disrupt the path of the conversation. I ask her gently if it is time to go home. The guys are now upset with me. Upset, and drunk. They make comments, I make comments back. Eventually one guy infers that we should ta
