Overheard in IN
I got to Logansport, IN about 9:15 pm local time on Wed, and by the time I had checked into my room and headed back out and across the parking lot, the Bob Evans was closed. It was 9:35 and they close at 9:30. ::sigh::
I hopped in my car and headed down a couple of blocks and luckily found an Applebee's that serves until 11:00 pm. A glass of riesling and a plate of coconut shrimp later, I'm paying my tab and sort of overhearing the folks next to me. A new guy has joined the group, and apparently has a new job. This is where I became conscious of the conversation -
"... and it's kind of like being in the Mafia. But the money's good. And it's not too far - only about 45 min from Ft. Worth."
I don't know about his pals, since they all seemed to be congratulating him on his new job, but they must not have been as nonplussed as I was. I could feel my eyebrows climbing into my hairline.
