It’s a small town Saturday night
David has been overseeing the installation of new equipment at a lactose processing plant in Norfolk, Nebraska, for the past few months. Lately he’s been making trips to the plant to manage the project in person. As you can tell, he’s enthusiastic about the nightlife options in Norfolk. The No. 1 tourist attraction in the community is the county history museum, so he knew he was in for a wild evening!
Wild evening = sedated-looking conversation on video chat
When I spoke to him this morning I asked if he had plans to go out for a nice breakfast to make up for his boring Saturday night. He’d already eaten and then went on to explain how much he detests french toast sticks at the Hampton Inn’s breakfast buffet.
“You know it’s bad when you know all the menu items for the continental breakfast, you know one of the receptionists by name, and she gives you free cookies when you come in,” he said.
Welcome to middle America.
