Drabble by Kevin Fagan for November 08, 2013

Ralph’s a regular. Go figure.

There’s a register key with Ralph’s name on it. It rings up everything in his “usual.”

Galt Burger is gone, now its a Mex fish place, so sad(maybe they moved, but I dont think so)

my wife and I go to Chilies resturant every friday, the guy at the door, his name is Jake, looks at us when we come in and says – you know the routine. We sit at 1 of 4 favorite tables and either Janice or Kelly will wait on us, we say the usual and out come the diet coke and ice tea and 2 orders of Chicken Crispers with fries and corn. WONDERFUL……makes you feel special…..they also get a very good tip…..

Galt, CA in the Delta.

It’s a nice little town near Fagan’s alma mater, CSUS.

I’ve never checked to see if there’s a Galt Burger but I’ve always meant to.

I feel like Ralph every month when going to the local pharmacy for the annual refill of meds. They just ask me “the usual”? I say, “yep”.

I once used to stop at the Burger King next to my grocery once a week and pick up a Junior Whopper and the smallest frys, take it home and eat with my gin on the rocks. I did that just once last year and I’m vegetarian this year. I have most of my vitamins on automatic refill/delivery but I can always tweek that online or by phone.

Ralph is going to miss his daily dose of Transfat.

Is Galtburger a play on words for “gout burger”?

I call the Old Spaghetti Factory most Fridays. If the regular gal answers the phone, I just have to say “Hi!” and her name and she says “Hi, coming in at your usual time?” I say “Yes” and she says “See you tonight.”

Atlas shrugged after John ate the burger.
