pink eldorado

I dreamt that I kept seeing a pink eldorado, with a man in white glasses driving it. I kept running into him.... coincidence? I was caring a bottle of Fanta, on way to JBDS's house. He was having couples over for dinner. I hadn't seen him in years. I just had a few moments with him before they all showed up. I had an old pencil box of things, rice crackers, post office bill with my check for payment, and a few other things. I realized I had no reason for being there, we had moved on from each other's lives now. I was about to leave and he had me go out back, a cul de sac that was on a hill. JBDS had tortillas in his house. A guest emptied an old bag into a large bin outside.

I leave and a guy, one of the husbands of the couples, gives me an eye, sort of communicating he acknowledged my existance and that I'm ok. I walk down the side walk. Two chubby pre teens are water fighting with plastic cups. I'm hoping they respect elders and do not splash me. I realize I left my box. I start to return and the mans yells out, "anyone want tortillias?" He gets the garbage bin full of old chips and the cul de sac neighbors go to eat them. Their left overs.

I ask the husband what is going on? He says it is to keep the peace. The neighbors are poor, sketchy... and it just is enough to keep them away and content.

I get my box and leave on my way to my home town. FG
