[Traffic Jam]

Never had a bad meal on the trail. The problem is having high expectations for my post-hike meal. Recently had a disappointing meal at a Damascus restaurant (which will remain unnamed).

Not to bad mouth Spam,because Lord knows I have eaten my share when hiking,but this thread forces me to share a story. In my real life I sell tools,at places like meat packing plants. One customer at a pork plant told me he was changing jobs from mechanic to quality control-product sorter. I asked what the new job involved. I will never forget the answer-"Pet food,pizza meat,spam-somebody has to make that choice". To this day I have no desire to know exactly how the choice is made...
