But there's a new Anthony Bourdain, and I didn't even know it. New season crept up on me. Was at the grocery store and would have been back by 9:00 (in time for it), but my truck wouldn't start, so I had to leave it in the parking lot and walk home (three blocks). Fortunately I hadn't bought a lot of groceries. I mainly went there to get some cash.
This is the second time in the past three weeks or so that the truck hasn't started. First, it wouldn't turn over in the garage here. One of the board members, who's handy with cars, heard me trying to start it and said it wasn't the battery (battery's not that old, anyway). (Obviously it's not the battery, since it started up when I tried a few days later.)
The board member had said it sounded like the fuel pump. Meanwhile he gave me a business card for a mechanic within walking distance, whom he recommends and whom I'll call tomorrow. Even if the truck starts up tomorrow (after I return from work), something needs to be fixed. I can't deal with it in the morning since I have a doctor's appointment then. It'll have to go into the shop on Wednesday at the earliest. If it has to be towed, I'll call AAA. I told the people at Publix about it and they gave me a piece of paper so I could write a sign to put in the windshield. (They said I didn't have to worry about it getting towed, but still...)
Tomorrow morning they're drawing blood for testing, so I had a Boca Burger and a few handfuls of Cheerios for dinner when I got back from the store. (Had some Del Monte grapefruit with Truvia when I got home from work.) Healthy stuff for my blood test.
Anthony Bourdain was in Haiti (show's over now). I'll have to watch it again from the start, maybe later. (Not a lot about the food there, mostly about the recovery from the earthquake.) Above is the Hotel Oloffson in Port-au-Prince. (Click on the photo to enlarge it.) Anthony talked with the owner there at the hotel. Looked kind of nice. (But see here.)
[Later] Watching Anthony Bourdain's Haiti show from the start. Starts with the Hotel Oloffson-- he's staying there (has no complaints). The hotel listed in the earthquake but remains habitable.
