EAT CLEAN LUNCH'S

The perfect moment. The call of the wildly ridiculous. I'm driving. Jenni is beside me as navigator and companion. We are listening to "Cars" by Gary Numan as we come to an intersection. 421 & 39 South 26 East and West. Downtown Rossville.
Then I See it. I say it out loud to see if Jenni sees it too. I reach for the camera. Jenni says, "You need to pull over then because there is a car behind you." I pull over. I get out and then traffic starts coming in all directions where did they all come from? I wait to cross the street and into the Twilight Zone. The cars on SR26 whizz by apparently accepting the presence of the diner, it has obviously been there a long time so maybe it goes unseen. It grabbed me like I was wearing my finest saffron evening dress in front of King Kong. Finally I got across the street and walked up to the visual feast, although there were lights on inside, I was afraid to try the door, but I'm sure there was an advertising genius at work here. I'm sure.
