Stopped at an I-Hop for lunch on the road today.
Three women, dressed as office workers, perhaps 25 - 35 years old, took the next table.
They chatted, then one spoke of a friend in the service in Iraq, working on restoring the electrical grid. They'd come under attack, and one boy lost an arm, a second a leg, taken off at the very top.
The second one said "I'm not paying attention to that."
The third one said "Have you got your Christmas lights up yet?"
and they chatted.
