Recent lunch at El Sol Y La Luna, a very unpretentious place in the heart of oh-so-trendy South Congress. Doesn't calling it SoCo sound stupid? The chorizo migas were a big winner. If I lived anywhere nearby, I could see becoming a regular here. Slightly bigger and fancier than Hyde Park's Julio's, but a similar welcoming, laid back feel. I thnk this was only my second lunch south of the river. I guess I'm a provincial type, who remembers when South Austin was just Bubba Land. I know there are good eats down there.Went to Nau's Enfield Drug for a dull club sandwich and an out-of this-world chocolate shake today. I got there just as the undermanned waitstaff was getting slammed by the lunch crowd. I thought I might be invisible because it took maybe 20 minutes for someone to finally say, "You've already ordered, right?" "Um, no, actually I haven't." Oh well, the old-style soda fountain makes it a cool place, and they've only been in business since 1951, so you gotta figure they'll work the kinks out with the service any day now. Nau's Trivia: Hollywood Henderson bought his winning Lotto ticket here.
So are we really attempting to try Osama Bin Laden's driver for war crimes? His driver? Did we go after the guy who did Hitler's laundry in WWII? This guy has been tortured - yes the U.S. does this now - and held for seven years without charge. Perhaps something will emerge in this case that will make it clear why he is such a high value target, but I remain skeptical. He was arrested in Nov. 2001, and I don't think Osama is still at the last place he was dropped off by this driver.
Peace,
