is that a cocktail glass with a stirrer above it. could this place have been a cocktail lounge. i think this is where matt helms dropped in for a singapore sling. or phillip marlowe with a staight up and a side car. ah, i remember when i came home from the army and my friends were still doing their same things they did when i left and late at night when i was out on my own i would go to the local tavern and sit down and have a scotch on the rocks. i could'nt relate to my old friends from high school any more and i felt out of it. they did'nt interest ne anymore and i had nothing in common with them, so the evenings saw me alone in a bar with a drink thinking about my buddies in nam and i was'nt with them. i was safe at home, alone.

As far as new goes, I suspect the residents of the London neighbourhood of Newham, or the people of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, England may perhaps beg to differ. They have medieval things over there that are called "new". I do not know if there is an area of Damascus called "New Damascus", but if there is, it could well be older than the Pyramids of Giza.

How do you change the gas cylinder? What if it falls? It looks precarious up there.
