Overheard at the garden show

From Steve
Brisket, steaks, hamburgers ... we are eating apace. I believe the frost is starting to form inside some of the packages, but so far no freezer burn.

Food comes from gardens and today we went to Madison's Garden Expo. It's huge. Lots of people in booths, always closing. Lots of people who are barely tolerating the latest in a seemingly endless series of winter months. The demographic skews way middle aged and elderly. A few people were coping with 12 oz. clear plastic cups of beer by 11 a.m. Major human logjams throughout the exhibition hall, notably around the honey booth, the vinegar booth, the grow-your-own-mushrooms booth.


Elderly female spouse: Do you want to go down this row?
Elderly male spouse: No, it, uh, doesn't look like fun.

Laura mercifully got us out of there and back into the sunshine not long after noon.
