A visit from Dunder-Mifflin

Natalie and I got out the door at a properly early hour on Monday, heading south around 8:15. So when lunchtime came we had time to play with and opted to stop and sit. It was, admittedly, a little extra nerve-wracking to drive with no rearview mirror, since the V was piled high with all of her stuff.

With the help of our friends Sergei and Larry, we were able to find a place that served banh mi in Linglestown, PA, so we hopped off 81 onto a local road and toodled along a local road at 45 and slower till we found our spot. It was a nice little place and the pork banh-mi were perfect, lovely pork -- not too sweet -- on crisp baguettes. Unsurprisingly given where we were they weren't terribly spicy.

Somewhere through the meal a table of six came in, three young women and three guys in office casual straight out of the wardrobe from a sitcom. In fact, they looked as if they could have stepped straight off the set of The Office (and we had passed the facility of an unassuming paper products purveyor not long before). Sadly, we weren't close enough to eavesdrop and had to be on our way shortly to make it home before nightfall.
