11 pm
we went to a baseball game tonight and saw the Toledo Mud Hens play the Indianapolis Indians. The Indians won the game 8-6. Just as we were leaving it started to rain and we managed to get out of the park in time.
Today at lunch I went to Arby's with two of my co-workers and I mentioned that I used to work at
Rax Roast Beef back in the day. This led to a lenghty discussion of food jobs and some amusing stories about life in the greasepits. It was nice getting back to the office around 1:30 pm knowing that you weren't going to have to worry about tearing down the salad bar or a late night rush at the drive-thru that would mess up your pre-close.
Rax is no longer the large roast beef chain it once was. Most of the stores have closed over the past 10 years but some remain like the one I used to work at. Fred, who went to lunch with me tried to remember the name of a particularly tasty sandwich that he claimed had never been duplicated by any other fast food eatery.
"Do you mean the BBC?", I responded quickly.
"Yes, exactly the BBC, I loved those sandwiches."
To the uninitiated, the BBC stands for "Bacon, Beef and Cheddar", two long strips of bacon, lots of roast beef and some yummy hot cheddar cheese sauce spread on long toasted sub roll. Perhaps one day we shall journey to Anderson, IN which is the nearest Rax to us for a road trip.
It's interesting working a job now where all I do is sit at a desk all day where in my younger days I was always standing up.
