Next Door Neighbors by Pat Sandy for March 31, 2022

To make it more realistic, try putting a little umbrella into your beer can.

Hey, if there’s enough light to see a whale…

Meanwhale, could you grab me a beer?

Try not to get the virtual paper umbrella stuck up your augmented reality nose.

Just don’t order the “pollo con mole”, my drumstick was almost nine inches long. Taxi driver said it was likely pelican, chickens were too expensive to eat! Might want to avoid the salad too.

It’s also my birthday. Does that mean I get a virtual party, too?
