Another Afternoon of Thrills

[bjarvis]

Guess where I was for lunch today?

I suspect it's called "Five Guys Burgers & Fries" because one needs five people with healthy appetites to eat the enormous quantities of french fries shovelled into the bag. I needed nearly five minutes of eating just to find my burger at the bottom. And it was so worth it.

I still maintain the best french fries in the world are served in a paper cone and served from the back of a converted bus in the parking lot of a lakefront municipal park in any predominately francophone village in north-eastern Ontario or north-western Quebec. And served with ketchup, salt and vinegar as the good Lord decreed. Still, the fries I had today were in the top three I've enjoyed over the decades.

The trip home via the Metro was unexciting although I was back at the ranch for barely a half-hour before the office buzzed, requiring me to head to the data center in Virginia to swap an HBA card in an HP blade server. While I was there, I took care of some minor stuff I thought up overnight and composed a small shopping list of things I need.

Tonight, I'm calling a square dance in Baltimore, cuyahogarvr will be square dancing in Virginia and kent4str will be passed out on the couch. That's how you'll know the universe is in complete equilibrium.

Yeah, I suspect I'm going to be doing penance for my cholesterol overload today, but it was a nice treat. In fact, it was a pleasant surprise as I hadn't known there was a new franchise on Dupont Circle in DC. I'll have to remember it for the next time I get a craving, say, October or so.
