I DO LOVE an old-school diner.

Missus Skillet always says it's not a REAL diner unless it has liver with onions on the menu.

She doesn't eat it, but she DOES look for it.

Dad was a HUGE liver and onions man. Has to be an acquired taste.

It could have been much worse.
My sister has a mild concussion, contusions, bruises, and a dislocated shoulder.
My nephew is sore, bumps and bruises, and a couple broken fingers.
Thanks for your prayers gentlemen.

Myself and Missus Skillet just got back from dinner.

We took our son and his girlfriend to a restaurant of his choice. Graduation present, y'know.

Well, he's a bit of a "foodie", so he picks a high-end local steak joint downtown.

They don't take reservations or credit cards. FCFS, 430pm to 10pm.

We get there at 6pm. Hour and a half wait. While we were in there, I looked around......

As soon as you walk in, you're in line at the bar. Right next to that is the rows of tables, customers ####### to elbow with one another. And LOUD........Waffle House has better ambience.

I vote "no ####ing way, pick again".

We go through a few other possibilities, settle on a high-end local steak joint on the other side of town. We phone in a reservation, by the time we get there we are seated immediately.

I'm getting a little angsty, because I have a simple, unrefined palate, and the place is....

So, anyway, the steak was excellent, in the top two of my entire life.

I got a side of bacon and chipolte mac and cheese. It was good, but not 13 dollars good.

I dropped the most money on a meal I EVER have tonight........but my son thanked me profusely, and gave me a bunch of hugs, and his graduation is the culmination of a financially and emotionally turbulent 4.5 years for our whole family, and he put his shoulder to the wheel and gutted it out.

So, a good time was had by all.

Still, thirteen bucks for mac and cheese.....

I went to dinner at place in Vegas for a business dinner - how about $48 for a wedge salad? Or $350 for a lobster tail. 5 people and the bill would have paid for a new clutch or a set of Chinese drive tires.

And no the food was only average - not great

I went to the city, picked up my nephew and sister.
Took them home, did a couple of errands and a bit of shopping for them.

Now I should get out my plow truck, and clear snow. A lot has already come down, and still snowing hard.

And for all you that wonder out this way.... Looks like a white Christmas and all of Kwansa.

If you thought the urban indigenous and transplant population was bad in the dry, envision them in the ice.

May want to take additional measures to avoid the area.
