My local watering hole

[lendaddy]

I have a local place I frequent, it's down the road from my business and I "end up" there quite a bit. Anyway, it's really like a looking glass into America. I overhear and get involved in conversations with all types, and it really is educating.

I've met in the last week-

A Marine on leave from Iraq(said don't believe the hype, it's going much better than you think)
A drug dealer(piece of work, poor kid thinks he's got it dicked, smart kid, a damn shame)
A guy leaving his wife (listened to his story, makes me thankfull!)
A teacher (this guy hates his job, gambles and drinks like crazy, and *****es that he only makes $65k a year)
A US Steel engineer(great conversation, this guy has been in the business for 40 years and really opened my eyes)


You gotta love these little bars, if not for the conversation I probably wouldn't drink

Lendaddy!

This IS my local watering hole!

For all the reasons you describe.

Everything from wacko to weirdo, recently divorced, and sadly mistaken.

Everyone has an opinion, and is not afraid to say it. The ones that don't believe it keep sending money to Massachusetts until it hurts.

That ought to revive this thread.

. . .

Those are the people I like the most.
. . Is it wrong to distrust those who always fart flowers?

This caught this thread and I can relate.
I go out pretty much about twice a week. I thrive on meeting new people and hanging with old friends. From CEOs of large corps to the newly divorced who can't get enough tail to the guy barely hanging on with his own business.
Don't mind a glass of Vino or two either.
