Last night, I was in line at Chipotle and I heard the guy behind me ask the server to explain the difference between a hard and soft taco. I couldn't help but look at him. I thought he must be an international traveler. Then, I heard him ask the guy to show him the difference. At that point, I was staring at him because it was very clear that he was American. Who in this country doesn't know what a hard taco is? Who!? But more importantly, how? How!?
And while I've been worrying about taco shells and how this stranger functions and how we function with people like him, they've just announced on the morning news that the power company is reducing availability electricity in Greenwich Village by 5% today. I really need to know what this means more than I need to know the details of the women's soccer match. What does this mean?
I'm signing off. Going to cool it down in here while I can.
