forgot to add:

ever since that jaunt and the breakfast in merrill, i order my eggs
"basted". the folks at flora's diner and gas bar were a bit perplexed
at first. but, hell, think of all the wonderful treats we have to offer
dem dere swedes. course, i hope they have excellent medical and mental
health plans to handle what we tend to provide in these cultural
exchanges. i can't imagine a more confusing american offering than the 3
of us from which to draw conclusions...
