3. Post digestion we will go to a humongous Asian market and poke around looking at exotic fruits and vases with dragons painted on them. We'll probably buy a few dozen things, plus more ingredients for more pancakes. After all they are the world's greatest!

Who's your favorite comedian ? Several, Red Skelton, Jack Benny, to begin with. I like the old timers.
What's one of the weirdest things one of your neighbors do ? One is a recluse who only talks to me. He had 2 very expensive airconditioners installed over 10 years ago and has never turned them on. He has a 1800 square foot house. He then bought a portable cooler on wheels that he takes from room to room as he goes along. Says it saves money. Though he always complains about how uncomfortable he is. He also keeps his bed next to the kitchen pass through and has a TV mounted on the end of the bed with 18 VCR's hooked up around it. He records everything that;s sports and then sits up all night watching the tapes. In the winter to save on heat he sits in a bathtub most of the time filled with hot water. He walks around the neighborhood at night and collects stuff that's being thrown away. He refuses to pay for garbage pickup so he walks to a store nearby, after dark, and puts his stuff in their dumpster. He has a garage full nof extra toilets, insulation, tires, you name it. He has 2 vehicles be bought 15 years ago with about 2500 miles on them. He's always bumming rides.
I could write a book on his weirdness. He is very nice and polite but quite eccentric.
