    Happy Birthday, Raymond Chandler! 🍸 “I like b Happy Birthday, Raymond Chandler! 🍸 “I like bars just after they open for the evening. When the air inside is still cool and clean and everything is shiny and the barkeep is giving himself that last look in the mirror to see if his tie is straight and his hair is smooth. I like the neat bottles on the bar back and the lovely shining glasses and the anticipation. I like to watch the man mix the first one of the evening and put it down on a crisp mat and put the little folded napkin beside it. I like to taste it slowly. The first quiet drink of the evening in a quiet bar — that’s wonderful.” ~ ‘The Long Goodbye’ #thirstyinla #raymondchandler #tbt 📸 @eugeneshoots
