Those sexy words.

My wife arrested a drunk driver thirty minutes before her shift was over.  In case you didn't know the paperwork on that is about 3-4 hours.  When you add in travel time to the hospital for the blood draw and basic checkout stuff at the PD then you understand why she got into bed about two minutes after she got home from her 16 hour day.

When she finally woke up she said those little words that I find so sexy:  Do you want to go out to eat?  Hell yes.

We went to a steak house that has a good reputation (national chain with a reputation for good service) and the food was good and cooked properly, but the service was mediocre.  My sister doesn't like to go to restaurants with me because I'm so critical, because of that I keep my opinions to myself (for the most part).

I noticed so many things that were so simple to avoid; just close your mouth and open your ears.  Don't be in such  a rush and pay attention.  Did I tell the manager (some of the mistakes were from her)?  Nope.  From some of the things I noticed they were cutting costs majorly.  I don't know if they were doing this because they have a new franchise owner who wanted to increase profits or because they were trying to increase the bottom line during the January slow times.  Some of the things they were doing was skimping on the portions, I ordered the ribs and they came out with about one ounce of fries.  I was okay with that because I was going to get broccoli but I forgot.  I didn't need to eat all of the fries so an ounce was okay for me.  Some people would have complained that their child had the same size side as they did.  Really, my child that ordered the fries, because the waiter suggested them, had a one ounce portion of fries also.  For the record, most restaurants serve about five ounces of fries if it's the only side.

Something that made me laugh was on the wall just inside the door was a small sign saying "We respect the rights of gun owners, however company policy doesn't allow guns on the premises."  I laugh because the sign means nothing.  If you don't want me to carry my handgun (yes, I have a CHL) then you need to do the right signage.  That was not it.  Some of the people that are really big into the RKBA movement will think that you don't want their money.  They will also tell other people and post it on message boards with like minded people.  I'm all for people believing whatever they want, but I'm also a believer in competency.  If you're going to do something then do it right.  Can you think of anything that statement doesn't apply to?  I can't.
