Catholic Kermit

After communal Night Prayer, on our way to return of Hertz rental car (for our trip to Mt Rushmore+), we drove through Sonic to celebrate having a car to get around in (we’re getting a bit tired of the bus system).  I ordered a Sonic burger with NO pickles and, (as my colorful history with pickles would have it), I received a plain burger with a beef patty and JUST pickles on it.  We were already on the move and didn’t want to go back, but I ate the burger (minus the pickles) anyways.  My first bad experience at my favorite burger place.  I would have take a picture of the burger, but it was too dark.

[This “Pickle burger” ended up being the root cause of my food poisoning experience over the next few days.]

I also noticed that our Hertz rental car came with a GPS that you’d normally pay extra for, but with Brian’s shmoozing of the Hertz counter-girl (with stories of Pittsburgh & St. Petersburg), we got it for free (which is exactly what it’s worth).  It’s called the Hertz NEVER Lost, but any emphasis to a name like that should be a clue it should be called the ALWAYS Lost … not the most reliable.  I wish I brought my Garmin … i miss her (Cassandra) voice.
