Chapter 60
Bud was up...”What’s up? You just left.”
“You mean ... that’s the sun coming up? Not the sun going down?”
Bud pointed...”East ... sun rises in the east.”
Tyche sat down with a thud, “Ooo ... makes my head spin. Is it Monday?”
Bud broke out laughing.
Alice ... always prepared for Tyche and her antics ... said, “I TOLD you we needed to catch the bus. Come on.”

We took the bike path west.
Alice’s stomach growled. Mine did too.
“I’m starved,” I said, “There’s a 24 hour Whataburger between Tillery and Airport. Lets pedal there.”
“A Whataburger? Open? Are you sure?”
“Yeah ... I read the sign when we took the bus the second time.”
“I’m pretty hungry,” Alice said. “How about Mexican.”
We were just riding by one.
“Doesn’t open for another hour. Besides ... TexMex ... and bikes?” I said.
“Ooo ... not a good idea. Whataburger it is.”
On the other side of 969 was a Burger King. We passed it up. The day was just getting started into Rush Hour and I didn’t want to cross the road. Besides ... construction zone. Not a good idea.
Just down the road ... Whataburger. On the other side of 969 ... damnit! But ... traffic light. We walked our bikes across. Locked ‘em up out front.

“Welcome to Whataburger. May I take your order?”
