Yesterday I out on the far west side of town looking for a new confuser
chair. My old one has had a leg collapse and both of the alternatives
are suitable only for short-term use. I need something that doesn't make
my ample arse feel like it's been sandpapered after an hour or so.

Anyway, I jumped on the Interstate to loop around and even though it was
mid-afternoon traffic was as thick as bugs on a bumper. Semis, crampers,
soccer-mom vans, etc. And, of course, the obligatory impatient jerk who
imagines that all of that weaving in-and-out and cutting people off at
the ankles will get him anyplace but the emergency room any quicker. I
saw one of those coming up behind me - so I picked a semi which was on
the speed limit (or near to it) and "flew formation" with it and let Mr.
Speed Demon cool his jets and think evil thoughts toward me. Then, when
the 18 wheeler came up on a slower semi I faded back and gave the drive
a flash of the brights to let him know it was OK to pull out and pass
the laggard. By the time he got around the other truck and was ready to
get out of the hammer lane it was time for me to take my exit for home.
So I cut behind the slow poke and hit the ramp.  Bv)=  Some days I just
feel so "evil".

Black caviar is sturgeon (or lumpfish) roe.

Red caviar is salmon roe. Also it's good fishing bair if you're after
trout. If you're doing caviar of either colour be careful with the
salt. Caviar is *very* salty.
