Things Overheard

Lunch* in town. Had to laugh at the hulking guy at the next table over talking about maintaining older cars: "I used to fiddle about with the choke and the spark plugs. I had no idea what I was doing, but it seemed like the manly thing to do"

*Trout and crab salad with a poached egg. Not as good as the tuna nicoise salad it's replaced on the menu, but not bad. I'll be eating it again**.

** Though next time, hopefully without the side order of backache!
