..........thinking of pizza, years ago, in another lifetime......I was in Stuttgart, West Germany. They had a really, really TALL Tower there, and at the top of the Tower was a Restaurant! I believe it rotated also.....but don't quote me on that.
Anyway, a few of us decided to visit the Tower, ride to the top and check out the Restaurant. What we didn't know is it was a fairly fancy Restaurant..........4 or 5 Star, and we were G.I.'s dressed as G.I.'s tend to dress when off duty....
But, they let us in and as I was reading the Menu which they don't call a Menu, because if you ask for a Menu, you get whatever meal is their "Special of the Day." Just so ya know...... Anyway, about the only thing I recognized on the entire Menu was the word Pizza.........so I thought, "Well, hey, ya can't go wrong with pizza?
WRONG.........
When I got my pizza, the waitress set in front of me a 9 or 10 inch round and about 2 inches deep metal pie pan. The entire top of whatever it was.........was a nicely browned crust. It did smell great.........but it DID NOT resemble a pizza. Think of pita pocket not cut in half........Well, determined to eat it because it cost about $4.00 (back then the exchange rate was 3.5 Marks to one Dollar) I cut into it, and out oozed great smelling white cheese, and there were peas, carrots, cocktail onions, and other veggies........It really did taste good.........but, being a G.I. I told the waitress.......
THIS AIN'T A PIZZA.............IT'S A POT PIE!
(I never did return to that Restaurant.......don't think they missed me either......)

I'm not sure but I think I found Puff the magic dragon....
So far today I have almost been hit by a mercedes (he tried to beat the left turn light but he couldn't and backed up almost into my car). My horn saved the day.. Then this SUV was going to try and squeeze by me and cut me off because his lane was about to end. I already let one car in and there was no room for him so I gently moved right so he couldn't get through and he spent the next 30 seconds waving and flailing his arms (I could see him in my mirror). I don't want to even guess what he was saying.... Then I got caught behind this pickup truck towing a vehicle carrier with another large pickup truck and a car on it. The trailer would sway left and right every now and then Safe? I think not! I tried to pass it but of course the car next to him wouldn't go any faster so I got stuck next to it! Thankfully I made it home in one piece..
