Diner, Bud and Carson McCullers

Ate in the local diner yesterday evening. In an attempt to make up for the stodgy airline food consumed earlier in the day, I had a salad with ham and turkey.  It wasn't great.  I also had 2 bottles of Bud, thinking it would help me to sleep.  I drink so rarely that I forget that it disturbs my sleep rather than easing it! Slept ok  for about 4 hours then intermittently.  Read my book for an hour in the middle of the night.  I've been reading some southern literature in preparation for the trip and am about halfway through Carson McCullers' 'The Heart is a Lonely Hunter'. 

Complementary breakfast in the hotel - not great!
