Breakfast: An odd mixture of instant grits and additions:

• two packets of instant grits
• a small piece of well cooked hamburger, chopped up...
• three hard boiled eggs
• squirt of mustard (too much as it turned out...
• coffee

Lunch: We argued and finally decided on Burger King. However, when we got to Burger King, Kathie commented: "I wonder if they're open; there aren't any cars". We pulled up to the front and saw a sign on the door which read "We're closed for maintenance and regret any inconvenience this causes." [definitely words to that effect, in other words, I'm not remembering the whole sign!]

I looked in the window and saw a woman looking back. I could not tell if she was drinking something or smoking a cigarette. The chairs were up on the tables. This is a very bad sign; usually, chairs on tables means a restaurant is going to be closed for a long time...

We decided to go to McDonald's but clearly a lot of Burger King fans had decided to do the same thing and the drive through line a McD's was backed up into the street. So, we went to Pizza Hutt. In the past, I have bitched about the

• poor service
• merely adequate food
• slow resupply of pizza
• slow refill of my "Diet Pepsi, no ice"

I now repent this. They have a new manager and he really has turned this Pizza Hut around!

• the service is now much better
• the food tastes better
• they resupply the pizza much quicker and
• I get refills of my Diet Pepsi without having to ask for them.

Dinner: a Healthy Choice Steamer meal and refrigerator cold water...
