So it ends up Bako has it's own official motto!
Bakersfield - Life as it Should Be
Hmmm. Interesting concept. Wrong city.
Paris - Life as it Should Be
Now that makes sense. Afternoons spent lolling about at outdoor cafes, smoking a Gitanes with an espresso. That I could get behind.
But Bako? Um... no. In fact I can't imagine any other city, outside of the Bible Belt, sitting around thinking "Ya know, what we really need to be, what we really should be, is more like Bakersfield".
Here's the thing -
I HAD a "life as it should be".
I lost it.
And now I'm here.
So allow me to offer an alternative:
Bakersfield - It Could Be Worse, You Could Be Dead
Now that has the ring of truth to it.
