Penance

We went to Captree today and I went inside to order a hot dog.  I specified mustard and sauerkraut, and the young man wh9 seemed to have trouble processing the previous customer’s credit card charged me $5.43.  He went to the grill, where a sleepy girl was in charge of the frankfurters, and put a luke warm hot  dog in the bun.  He then neatly spread sauerkraut over it and topped that with mustard.

When I got ourside, I found the sauerkraut was cold, and the mustard covered it like a cold blanket.  I was already in the car, and what the heck, I’d offered God worse penances before.
