Interlude

This does not, perhaps, relate to eating out in the sense of dining at another establishment. Instead, I use eating out to mean dining outside. More specifically, a tip for when you dine outside, especially if you're planning to sit on a bench.

Alexa's Tip of the Day: Check the intended bench for possible splinters BEFORE sitting down. I did not heed this advice and consequently have splinter butt. I would have rather sat down on bird poo than have splinters poking the backs of my legs and butt for the rest of the day. Damn you, al fresco dining, damn you!
