Spicy Diet

The Tex-Mex festival was bountiful
But it scratched my innards, much like steel wool

     When the cramps began
     Oh, how fast I ran

My impersonation of Old Faithful

Well you describe the pityable human condition well here Carolyn, i often marvel at the hope inspiration and helplessness of people in general, and the ability of them to re-invigorate themselves under uncomfortable circumstances take care, Joe..)

I sampled some of Chipotle's cooking, and I had to be honest to tell them I didn't care for it. Honesty does not always pay because they turned me down for a job there.
