The first thing one might notice about Alex when he walks into the bar this afternoon, is the fact that his hair is sticking up in an odd direction and he's sporting a bit nicer of a tan than when he left last. And while unfortunately, Alex was not on vacation, he is in a good mood again.
When that rare Greek bust you sold last week at auction got as many pounds as it did, you are in a very good mood regardless of the outside situation.
And so he enters the bar, finds a seat at a table and requests from a waitrat the following : glass of a very good red wine, a sandwich, and a certain book on ancient Siberian myth and legend.
Once he's finished eating, he orders another glass and then proceeds to turn to the section regarding the so called 'Dead Zone', to take notes on the meteor crater and the stories surrounding it.
He's completely botherable while he works.
