Mini-adventure

From the darkness nearby comes the sound of shuffling feet. As you turn towards the sound, a nine-foot cyclops ambles into the light of your lamp. The cyclops is dressed in a three-piece suit of worsted wool, and is wearing a black silk top-hat and cowboy boots and is carrying an ebony walking-stick. It catches sight of you and stops, seeming frozen in its tracks, with its bloodshot eye bulging in amazement and its fang-filled jaw drooping with shock. After staring at you in incredulous disbelief for a few moments, it reaches into the pocket of its vest and pulls out a small plastic bag filled with a leafy green substance, and examines it carefully. "It must be worth eighty pazools an ounce after all" mumbles the cyclops, who casts one final look at you, shudders, and staggers away out of sight.

Go Salon rumors in Ames, Iowa

Almost unbelievably, the Cyclone Go Club (a fantasy in itself) is meeting this summer on Sundays at 2 p.m. until whenever at the Chess/Go Salon in Ames.

Chess/Go Salon
328 Main St (second floor)
Ames, IA 50010
(787) 410-1977

That's approximately next door to where Eschbach's Music Store used to be, for you oldtimers who used to call Ames your home town. Corner of Kellogg and Main, then look for the Downtown Deli a few doors west.

(Hmmm... Shusaku seems to approach the middle from the fifth line...)
