I am a block from La Rustica. I was at Home Depot (Delridge) renting a truck. I saw a dark blue Mini Cooper when I waited for my husband to prove we had insurance.

No, but is that near where you live? I thought you were close to Rustica on Marine Drive.

Were you at the Home Depot on Delridge on Sunday?

There are yaks in West Seattle? I know there are coyotes and foxes, but didn't know about the yaks.

I'm glad things went well. I was in your "hood" a couple times over the weekend. Watch out for a dark blue MINI.

Think Hoo ka Chili Dog:

I think that would be the only thing an American would use a Hoo kah for.

In high school (like a million years ago) I "dated" a guy who lived in a flea-bag apartment with a bunch of hippies. There were more bongs than furniture. No Hookas though.

Naynay:
My friends from college, The Boobies, still Swisher Sweets when we get together once a year. It was popular in the 80s to smoke cherry-flavored tobacco. I never did. I inherited my father's dislike of tobacco and proclivity toward headaches. The Boobies love them, though.

I never got the whole "smoking fruit-flavored tobacco out of a hookah" thing. Back in my day, a hookah was a way for everyone at the party to get stoned without having to pass anything around.

I smoked cherry tobacco out of a HOO-KAH once in San Francisco. I never smoked a HOOK-UH. Let's not confuse it. ;)

I love to pronounce hookah "who caw." It sounds so exotic (hee hee.)

A hookah is different than a prostitute in New York. Isn't that a HOOKUH? ;)

As usual L, great post. I love the yak in the kitchen line at the end of the story.

Christina:
I love the word, "hookah." I'm think I'm going to try and work it into a conversation with my boss: "So, I think I'll log onto e-bay during lunch and see if I can get a good deal on a HOOKAH."

I'm so glad your home study was such a good experience. Should we celebrate with a hookah chock full of hashish like usual?
