The Cashier

Blue Eyeshadow Completes the Ensemble
Last night before I sang in front of a bar full of strangers, my friend Aaron and I went to dinner. After looking at several places, I spied this little diner whose name sadly escapes me this morning. It's open 24/7 and has been serving since 1935, so I had to sample a piece of Bethesda history. It's a true diner, nothing fancy, the counters and booths, etc., but the food was really good and the owner stopped by our booth and seemed very appreciative of the business.

What caught my attention (besides a burly daddy bear eating solo and the cute guy I was eating with myself) was this lady. With her white fuzzy cap, her frayed scarf, her blue glitzy blouse, and a Selma Diamond voice, she nonchalantely but politely growled as she asked if we enjoyed our meal. Up close, my camera phone seems to do the job as it was a covert shot. All I could think of in leaving was that I hope she made it to bingo on time.

Not all of the great sights in DC are downtown. :D

You have an eye for 'characters'(artists often tend to) ... after all, what makes diners authentic and special are the inhabitants. She looks like she ought to be wearing white boots. ;0)

I hadn't thought of that, but I guess I do try to find the odd man out in a group.

And I didn't look at her feet, I'm not sure what she was wearing. But I'm sure white boots would be a distinct possibility :)
