I stopped and said hello to Gale today.

I told him that I would be working the
intersection on Tuesday at 10:00am.  He
said he would be ready.  He wanted to pick
up some stuff right then and now, but I 
was full with LaFonda's and didn't want 
to get sweaty (5:30pm -- it was hot and
I had on a clean t-shirt).

Upon leaving, Gale said... 
"You're the man.  Thanks."

Gale's a friendly guy.
