Rubbing Elbows
After dropping off dear hubby at the airport very early this morning, we (son and I) stopped at Nora's Fish House in Wilson, WY for breakfast. We were the second party to be seated in that side of the dining area, though there were a couple of guys in the parking lot and several people at the bar in the center. I noticed two men at the nearby table, but did not pay much attention. I did overhear some minor political discussion, but nothing that made me want to listen in. Only when I returned from the restroom and former Vice President Dick Cheney stood up face to face with me did I realize that 50% of the restaurant patrons at that hour were Secret Service. Then I realized that my breakfast was far more expensive than I first thought. When you added the tax, tip and the tax money spent on two gas guzzling vehicles and 6 agents - Wow! Guess I'll eat puffed wheat and skim milk for the rest of the year.
PS: Short, stooped, looking really old and walking with a cane. And his permanent home is just about 1 or 2 miles from Nora's.

At least guns weren't drawn when you came face to face...and that Robert's look wasn't considered threatening!
I can understand him keeping SS protection. There are a lot of gun owners in those mountains.
I think I would have had major indigestion if I saw what you saw!
