Thoughts That Come To You

I'm 60, yesterday a 27-year-old woman smiled at me... And then her guide dog bit me.

Friday I visited one of my customers who has promised a joke every time I deliver his food. His name is Captain Gus & is a 78 year old former charter fish captain.

He got a phone call last week & a guy tried to sell him a coffin.

I asked how he responded.

He said "I told him a coffin is the last thing he needs."

The captain is still pretty damn sharp.

I never considered my high school in the Bronx as a rough & tough school.

However, we did have our own coroner onsite.

MN1, read the story in the Gen Pop forum about your girl giving you the side-eye about your tipping. Her being a midwestern gal was just being careful that the "NUT" was gonna get covered!!. Playing the Woodbine/Churchill card and watching NCAAF with a few ducets on unders! Enjoy the weekend. Elbows up!!

I just made tacos on a Tuesday like a basic bitch. I haven't made tacos on Tuesday for easily a over decade.

Most people are not brave. But that doesn't make them a coward either.

In many cases they react to an emergency without considering their own safety.

In some it's instinctual.

How about you?

Just read that the Quarterdeck Bar & Grill on Las Olas & A1A (the beach is across the street) closed after being in business 30 years. You can't beat the location. Many who have visited Fort Lauderdale have certainly frequented the place. The Fish House in Delray (I would sell them mahi caught while fishing) is closing after 12 years because his high end meals like $44 for a grouper sandwich & fries has dried up. People no longer will pay extravagantly on his oysters, clams & octopus. 

A local Smokey Bones closed; Lucille's in Weston closed after 26 years; Undergrounds Coffee House closed after 19 years. There are other closures but you get the point. Increased rent & labor costs are the most common reasons for closure.

Are you seeing similar closings in your neck of the woods?
