Wendy's For Din

I am finally just starting to get a little energy back!
What has it been,  like almost four years kn my lips?!?!?!?
So, I volunteered to go get burgers for dinner.
Of course that means Wendy's in this household.

Through weird associations, I knew both Dave Thomas and Wendy in real life.
But I ate at Wendy's in my college days because McDonalds made me physically ill!
No idea why for years,
Until it was figured out that their patties were being made TVP!
Sure the beef content was real beef,
But the rest was textured vegetable protein,
And Kris is VIOLENTLY allergic to it!
Who knows what is in a McDonalds hamburger these days.
They lost me as a customer,
Long ago!

So, even though Wendy's burgers were about three times more costly,
I would eat there.
Of course because of my chosen refusal to KOWTOW to my father,
And his money,
That meant going to Wendy's was once a month and GG and I split the burger!
Yeah, good times.
But, those were simpler days of long ago .....

So,I am driving over to Wendys, about one mile, on a rainy evening.

Now, out there in Washington State,
When you have a four lane road,
There is a fith lane down the middle.
It is designated the, "turn lane".
So, if you are opposing traffic, you can get out of traffic and wait to turn.

Of course, most idiots out here,
Usually with California license plates,
Use it for a passing lane!
Idiots.

So, I am signalling to move into the turn lane,
I atill have 160feet before I am going to need it.
And what do I spy?
A pickup truck blowing down from behing me,
Doing perhaps 25 mph over the speed limit,
In the turn lane!

Yeah, wants to be first to the stoplight!

And just as suddenly,
An oppossite facing car moves into the turn lane,
To go into the Karate Academy.
And faster than you can say, "Greased lightening" .....
Eight cars smashed in rather bad head-on collisions!

It now took 1.5 hours to move those 160 feet,
So I could turn into Wendy's parking lot.
sigh
All because an idiot can't obey traffic laws.
Is it any wonder this society is going to Hell in a hand-basket?
sigh

Dodging all of the emergency equipment,
Thirty minutes later aditional,
I had my burgers and chili,
And was able to exit the parking lot!

And they were good to munch on.
Too bad it took NINE nitro pills to calm down my heart,
And then I could address this stinking PTSD!
I tell yah, I could have stayed home,
And, made soup .......

Would a,
Could a
Should a!
