The above picture was taken at the site of a former country club in my area. Doesn't the place look serene? Well, the bulk of the property has been converted into a nondescript upper middle class housing development, and this is the only part of the site that looks as it did when I moved here almost 40 years ago.
You might be asking, why was I here to take this photograph? Well, the answer is related to the picture below:
I've been looking to catch up with one of the food trucks from Cousins Maine Lobster for months now, and this was a golden opportunity I couldn't miss. One of their many trucks was sited less than 10 minutes from home. So I decided to go a little out of my way for a bit of lobster and some clam chowder.
I was talking with my friend Valerie on the way home, and overshot my normal exit on the way home to keep from losing the phone connection in a back roads dead spot. And this made me forget about the reason I was taking this route in the first place. As a result, I stopped into Chipolte for a burrito. Yet, I was lucky. They prepared my order as if to go, and I wasn't happy with the idea of eating it there. So I brought home half a burrito to eat tomorrow. While on the way home, I remembered the food truck, and stopped by the former golf course to pick up the bite to eat that I originally wanted. This was worth my effort. The clam chowder was good, but the lobster roll was great! I'll definitely look for this truck again when it's in my area.
After I finished my dinner, I settled down to relax. First, Vicki called me. And then TCL called me. By the time I was done with the phone, it was almost midnight and I had to post this entry. Luckily, I was already prepared to tell a quick story about the food truck - all I needed to do is find out how good the lobster roll was....
