…he who hesitates ends up thirsty…

Monroe D. Underwood

I started uptown at eight in the morning.

I noticed a small tavern on a side street.

The bartender was just unlocking the door.

He said don’t you think it’s too early?

I shrugged.

I said hell if it’s that early why are you open?

The bartender said you know I been wondering about that myself.
