The woman selling the stuff from the pushcart was also an Israeli. I had never met a Israeli before and this one was straight of a beach in southern California, except for a slight accent I couldn't place.<br /><br />Also not in my story is the statement that I took her out for lunch. One of the questions I asked her was, "Can you fire a machine gun?" She laughed, and replied, "Of course not." But I got the distinct impression she could. <br /><br />It's a curious thing... I am generally attracted to women who put my hand in their hooters first thing. But this one gave me cause to pause.<br /><br />Fondest regards,<br />Jack/reep<br /><br />Fondest regards,<br />Jasck/reepJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428154721977251894.post-81203768006666073522011-12-16T12:24:11.078-05:002011-12-16T12:24:11.078-05:00Dear Gary:
