Do Tell Motel

In addition to being a pet-friendly joint, raccoons and possums roam around the motel down by the water. With this in mind, listen to Cherry, a guest, and myself discuss the wildlife of Oakland, both the two and four-legged kind.

Today at work

I didn´t have to kick out any homeless people

I just had to say `Hey Full Name` and he knew what to do.

I locked the door behind him, we shook hands and wished each other good night,

then I started blogging and I don´t know what he is doing.


Last time I saw a loose sock by his foot, and asked him

if it was his.  He shook his fist and asked me what I meant

by that.

"Ich weiß es nicht."

"Was weißt du nicht?"

x 5+

"Was meinst du damit?"

"Was meinst DU damit?"

"Ich weiß es nicht."


"Was weißt du nicht?"


and repeat.

Then he almost punched me in the face

x 5+

"Hör mich bitte zu ich respektiere dich, ich spreche nicht gut Deutsch, ich komme nicht aus Deutschland ich wollte nur zumachen."

"Verarsch mich nicht."
Don´t make fun of me.

Then we introduced ourselves
The end of that night.

I´m so glad I didn´t have to say
This lounge is for guests only,
and now will we sleep easy?
No I´ll sit working the night through

the end
