heineken green

The water changed dramatically overnight ..now it’s sub-zero freezing and beer-bottle green ..the color of a Heineken. Knocks the wind out of me. Eddie says arctic currents must’ve arrived and replaced the warm water that was here yesterday ..probably run-off from a melting iceberg. Lenny laughs and goes: “that means it ain’t no Heineken brahh ..it’s downstream beer.” Then Barb points at her watch and goes: “It’s November 7th guys ..you ought to be bringing wetsuits and fins with you ..that way it won’t matter what kinda’ beer.” We all agree she’s gotta good point. We go for a swim at sunset. The rays hit the water like stained glass ..adding scarlet and pink to a deeper shade of Heineken green ..the sky is a color that no one has a name for.

No one has a name for... must have been beautiful!

But, beer bottle brown and beer bottle green, the color of Heineken?... somebody must've been thirsty!

Offshore wind (which is dry and desert-like) ..combined with first-hand herb ..can produce a mighty thirst ..and vivid colors ((lol))

I can see the shiny snow on the Pyrenees, but down here, the breeze has more degrees than a beer
