Tuesday's challenge

 I won't lie it was cold today. It wasn't drop dead cold but it was chilly no question about it for a day riding the bus in and out of my meetings in Salt Lake. Actually it was just one meeting and I didn't have to wait too awfully long in fact I had to backtrack once I was at the bus stop had forgotten my hook so I had to go all the way back to the apartment complex and grab my hook and even then I got back in time to catch the bus into the city hang out the library check out the new books and eventually head back across the street to my assist meeting. There was a bunch of documents that needed to be signed this week it was just me and Robin who showed up to volunteer this day and it pretty much took the whole hour to get through the names that we had to approve. Following the meeting I was ready to head back home as quickly as I could. I did want to stop off at the bank get some change but that didn't happen the lines looked way too long I don't know what was going on in that level. Then I stopped at this weird little hamburger joint actually with a pizza shop as well as hamburger joint. I've known about this place for years always seemed a little bit weird and I don't think I had ever really gone on there. They're right across the street from the Taco Time that I usually stop if I'm going to have a lunch before I go home from the meeting. Today I checked this place out order the hamburger it was just two men working there barely English speaking and I think they were Eastern somehow. Took him forever to make my hamburger which actually would have been really good had they had any condiments. No ketchup no mustard they told me in broken English. Luckily the burger was good enough I got by without. The order came with french fries and one of those ripped up Utah sauces the pink stuff which I think is just ketchup and mayo but it was good enough for dipping a few french fries and then trying to drizzle over my burger. It was okay lunch but it wasn't worth $14 what was the learning curve I doubt if I'll ever go there again unless I buy a pizza. That looked fairly decent that way it might be a gold mine for pizzas but I don't have a way to carry him I'd have to eat it all there I initially went in there to buy just one piece of a pizza but they don't sell them that way I'd have to buy the whole pie which just don't worry I can do that and ride the bus or train. It seemed I was there forever eating my burger and watching these two guys talk on their cell phones going in and out of there kitchen. As near as I could tell one of the folks was a landlord I think it was in the process of evicting somebody. Like I said it was a totally interesting experience.


Accused across a couple streets and finally got to the train station and didn't have to wait too long before a train showed up. I was glad to get into the warm car for the semi-long trip out to Murray Central where I pick up the bus to go home. I enjoyed sitting in the bus once I got off the train. The driver had the bus warmed up big time and I just nodded off to sleep waiting for the bus to fill to take the trip West to Taylorsville. I jumped another bus as soon as I got to Taylorsville which dropped me off at the apartments I totally enjoyed the heat of the building once I got back. I sat in front of the heater the rest of the day just enjoying the Heat
