This lady, who seems to be a regular at the Waffle House in Athens, TN, watched me putting salt on my omelet and hash browns. "That stuff's bad for you," she told me.

Errrr . . . yeah, I know.

"SALT. It's bad for you."

"Just the salt?" I asked. "Not the sausage or hash browns, right?"

"SALT. How old are you?"

"Thirty-six."

"Yep. You're right at that age. Dangerous."

Needless to say, I didn't finish my omelet. Can't a man clog his arteries in peace on a road trip anymore?
