It's a Small World

I cannot recommend the iPhone for indoor photography but I will encourage anyone to sample the chicken scaloppini from the Romano's Macaroni Grill menu. The eatery is just off South Padre Island Drive in Corpus Christi. Better still, it's across the street from Barnes and Noble. Molto eccellente. Either the cook was exceptionally good this Sunday evening or I was terribly hungry, but the food was very good. The meal, paired with Isabel, a most attentive waitress, made for an agreeable dining experience. Me cayó tan bien, Isabel.
Would you care for some more wine?
No, thank you. We gotta long drive ahead of us.
You're not from Corpus?
No, ma'am. We live in the middle of nowhere. Way outta here.
Oh, really. Where?
Well... where would you dump a body?
I'm sorry... wha?
If you had a body to get rid of where would you dump it. You know... get rid of it.
I.. I.. ah..
If you're from Corpus you all just go and probably dump it over in Oso Creek. Hell, they'll find it the next morning. If I have a body to dump I go dump it where I come from. No one will find it there.
No, really... where are you from?
Duval County, darling.
No... I know where that is. Where in Duval?
The middle of nowhere, darling. Benavides.
Nooooo... Really?
You know where that is?
We used to live there. I graduated from high school there.
Isabel.... who are you? Who are your people? Había una razón que me cayites bien.
It's a small world.
