Iced Tea.

Decent lunch today.

And it has clams.

Corn is what's left undigested in your ****.

Carry on.

Sure, I can pass along the corn left in my stool.

It's not Friday, they don't have the Clam stuff today.

Can't find decent corn chowder in the store, may have to figure out how to make my own.

Chowdah and clamcakes.

Yup. Rhode Island chowder, when you actually want CLAM chowdah, not a bowl of fracking vegetable or cream soup with a twist of clams.

And it all looks and tastes the same--a thick goo that has no particular flavor other than thickened water. Unless, of course, you add Saltine cracker (apparently, it must be crumbled) in to it. This just makes the goo thicker.

But it does become a pretty good way to make a Saltine cracker taste better.

I'll take Manhatten.

About the only touristy thing I'll do is hit the wharf every once in awhile for free chowdah. You grab a free sample from each place along the walk and then, if you're not full, go back and grab a sourdough bowl with your favorite. And I gotta say, there is some great variety and flavor along the way.

... Man, this is probably the first time ever that I am talking up the West Coast. ... I feel dirty.

Nobody with any sense, really... just money.

Keick, I go to Monterey to visit the kid in school semi-regularly (about 4-6 times a year). Send me a note with your email. I'll drop you a line when I come up next.
