Breakfast in America

A Wonderful country, America! People don't have enough money from their pension, when they retire, so they have to keep on working till they're blue around the mouth. At Yosemite an elderly guy was washing toilets, and cleaning out the very heavy bear-proof garbage cans. The guide in Salt Lake City was also way passed 65. The tag-a-long boat pilot is also retired and admitted himself he loved to do the boat trips but needs the cash to come by, because what social security he gets is way too low after a full active life. This morning the 15 or so seats in the Super 8 were occupied for the 300+ guests in the hotel so we went back to Denny's Diner for breakfast. This joint is open 24/7 and is run by mostly elderly ladies who slave to get all the orders done. The woman serving our table had just slipped in the kitchen and was still going on serving tables with a slight limp. I hope we don't adopt the American system in Europe, but it's starting to look like it, gradually...
