Car Licence Plate YOLO LUV

Saw the green scarf get into an Audi this afternoon.  Do you speak any Amharic she wondered after she learned I had visited her home country Ethiopia several times.  All I know is buna ifalagalo.  (I would like some coffee).  She laughed, and said yes, we have the best coffee.  Are you ...  I wondered; no, I'm Orthodox and she laughed again.  Well, not very.  And YOLO I asked - You Only Live Once she says.  Selam has just opened a new yoga studio of her own.

Today's alternates including a nasty altercation outside the pita joint of my Turkish friends; a superb beard; and a newly arrived Chinese woman taking a selfie in a field of dandelions.
