Susan sold an article to a magazine. First submission and she gets a sale. I am proud of my wife
Tonight for dinner we went to Pallino Pastaria, this counter-service Italian fast food slow food sort of place. (That was real descriptive there. Let's go with "upscale Cucina Presto." Reason I went was because I won $12 in gift certificates at the company picnic a while back. Pasta: good. I had the cacciatore, which was chunks of chicken thigh in rigatoni. Salad: not as good. Balsamic vinegar chopped salad. It's a dish with a lot of tomatoes, but the 'maters were pretty bad quality, kind of watery. The expectation is that they are supposed to be the base on which the cheese and greens are built, but they were so weak that the tomatoes just didn't happen.
On the way home from U Village we ended up in the middle of a high speed chase on I-5. Couple of fast 'n' furious street racers fly past us followed by at least a dozen state and city cop cars. On cop tried to throw a puncture strip out in front of the speeding morons... and got a cruiser instead. Poor troopers lost all their tires and ended up on the side of the freeway. Not to worry, there were still 11 more cars in pursuit.
