judgey much

Hang on JUST ONE MINUTE, Wishing Well Motel. I am well aware of my age and I really don’t appreciate your saying “welcome to old.” I mean, maybe you meant it kindly, but honestly, it struck me as being sort of judgey.

googly-eyed guy

That guy seems friendly enough, like he’d be happy to take your order for some eggs or maybe a slice of  pie and a cup of coffee. The place seems organized pretty well – skillets hanging in size-order, cases of soda stacked neatly – and clean, too, with a sink right there to hold the dirty stuff.

But there’s something about his eyes that makes me a little nervous.

Are you, or someone you know, at your wit’s end trying to solve the truk park situation?
