Mr SpottyCatz – Last night –“SpottyCatz, they're hilarious!” Catcha this afternoon – “Did you meet SpottyCatz? Their SO fun!” Well today we run across SpottyCatz for the first time and it’s true. Fun and funny. Mr. SpottyCatz, not unlike myself, is quite willing to play the fool in the name of good times. Crazy clothes, a song, a dance, some general tomfoolery, it’s all in his bag of tricks. I think subconsciously we realized at one point the potential danger of us egging each other on and so frequently would just enjoy the others antics without trying to top each other. I’m thankful, as I hurt myself in innumerable ways this trip and don’t want to imagine where things could have ended up. However, in the future…
Mrs SpottyCatz – is my Scottish lass. How did she end up marrying a Englishman? Her feigned innocence in the midst of outrageous commentary made me fall down laughing more than once. And she delivers it all in this amazing Scottish accent that just absolutely floors me. And I think she is always smiling. And then you realize that she has one brown eye and one blue eye, and well, face it, you’re lost…
Indy Bob – is a fun, low-key guy who seemed to be smiling every time we met. He just doesn’t seem to get flustered. I think of Bob as a counterweight, maybe most appropriately as a wheel balancing counterweight. He keeps that whole high speed rotation of Indy Cindy running smooth, no wobbling out of control into the jungle. Into the ocean, yes, jungle, no. Most of the time you could find Bob leaning against the rail, holding up the wall, chilling in a comfy chair. Frequently he’d be chatting up Mr. SpottyCatz but almost always keeping an eye on…
Indy Cindy – “Hi! I’m Lurker Cindy!” Best greeting of the trip! I’m talking with an interdisciplinary research team of Bio-Medical and Engineering scientists about Cindy and they are intrigued. From my descriptions they are sure they can isolate bio-compounds running through her blood stream and believe she may hold the key to all the world’s energy problems. You see, she NEVER stops. And funny? She can make more faces than you can think of. She has a face for just about any emotion and a couple hundred designed to do nothing but make you laugh. On a more serious, human side to the story we did find out that Cindy had a difficult early life. Without Bob to steady her she wobbled into the ditch as a young girl, got knocked up and had to give the baby up… Tizzy’s family has a LOT of explaining to do at home…
