I think you may be right on target there.

Drove past the grocery store today where the tamale lady is usually
stationed (at the right time too - it's a small window), but I only
saw a man selling churros. My tummy is very sad.

I picked up a skirt steak yesterday, so I will drown my sorrows in
fajitas tonight.

Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them.

Oh, yes... we have one too, but that's in a different part of town.

Glad I could clarify. They might also own the motel across the
street from the gas station. If you've ever done any travelling by car
you may have found some of the less expensive these days are owned by
Indians. (No, I'm not talking by the hour no-tell motels.) Just
inexpensive lodging for the night when you're on the road.

There was a place John and I used to stay in going to/from art shows
called the Scottish Inn. Nice clean room, mini-fridge, microwave. A
table and chairs so we could sit and play cards. Inexpensive. We joked
they were Scottish Indians.
