Two weeks ago, I was in the mood for fish and chips. While it’s fair to say that the restaurant featured in most Saturday’s bar posts has improved their fish and chips dinner over the past year, I still prefer the meal served by a local diner.
Scooter’s is a diner. I sit at the counter and I can see the flat top grill and the deep friers in action. Food is served in plastic cups or pressed paper containers. Recently, they’ve begun placing the paper containers in a wax paper lined plastic basket—I’m not sure why.

The fish and chips was as good as ever, nicely complemented by a small cup of coleslaw. When I finished eating, I took the container to the trash bin and deposited everything but the plastic basket and the silverware. I put those on the service end of the counter. The manager looked at me and smiled as he said,
“You keep that up and I’m gonna hire you.”

All five of my current books are now available in audio book form thanks to Amazon KDP’s Virtual Voice process. The voice is AI generated, but I can honestly say, it’s pretty darn good. The audio books are reasonably priced (all below $7 US) and, if you already own the Kindle version and want to add an audio version, you can do that for $1.99. There is a five-minute sample on the book page for each book. If you’re interested, click on any of the Dreamer’s Alliance book links below the image or on the link below for my latest book.
