Shimp Daddys

This is a joint, a bar, a saloon, a gin mill, locals kinda dive bar where folks get together, play pool , drink, catch up with one another open until 4 am. My kind of place. I'm a traveler (not tourist) visiting America at ground level in my RV. As I travel I enjoy really experiencing where I'm at . I do some culture things , well down here this trip by didn't get to go scuba diving because of sinus but I did finally manage to catch the red-headed stranger and after Willie Nelson did his thing I went looking for local flavor. And this is truly one of those. I've talked to I talked to locals there could have been coming for more than a couple of decades I think as it's been under different names. They allow smoking and indeed many of the denizens had one sticking out of their mouth at some point during the night. I met an absolutely Splendid wonderful Grand d a m e who introduced herself as Tootie and described herself as a barfly. Such an understatement even as wonderful as that word is she was one of the finest bar flies I've ever met. She was rail thin her main diet Aid being camel non filters . Wise , soulful , full of good cheer and humor the kind of lady that gives a certain middle class blue collar Elegance to a local Watering Hole. We started talking about her cigarettes which I hadn't seen in a while and she offered me one. I've been more than 20 years without smoking and I appreciated the offer but I declined. I don't personally partake anymore but I don't believe the government really belongs in the bedroom, The Gin Mill or our freaking pocketbooks. Life in America is about choices. You find what fits and you go there. I really felt right at home there even though I wasn't part of the crowd people were friendly within their own sphere of influence bar stool to Barstool and a few made casual inquiries which I answered politely with the joy being able to bask in another areas Public House. Man I really love that place. I forget the current name because I mispronounced the old name Shimp Daddy's (as shrimp) that Tootie spent two cigarettes trying to school my out of town ears to drop that R in there and then she told me some of the history and that's why I had gone there. God Bless America and every bar or other establishment like this all over. It's a great place to go in, sit down, shut up and listen to Key West. Good night tooty

The girls dancing on the bar were seriously wild that guy Chad we met tonight could really rock that pink tutu too. More fun than humans should be allowed to have. Cannot wait till Saturdays wet t-shirt contest.
