Plus, NYC's war on rats is not easy on the eyes; saying farewell to old diners and welcome back to others; and many more stories from the American road.
My watchful buddy Josh took me to that Blue Ball diner on one of its last days. I was glad to get in there. Let me know when you're coming out to Lancaster county or city. We can check out some cool digs! And thanks for alerting me to the Towanda diner that's a twin sister to the Wellsboro Diner that I've been to many times. Route 6 Six is a real gem.
I worked as an admin assist in my salad days and for years afterwards, I had the 1-800 number for FedEx memorized because I used it so often. I think I still do, though I imagine it's been changed. 1-800-238-5355. When it absolutely positively has to be there overnight. And back in those days, IT WAS or they refunded your money.
Also Capitol Records guy should get over himself because the idea of it being a stack of records with a spindle is exponentially cooler than whatever claptrap he's mumbling about

Wellsboro is swellsboro! God's country! And will do!
