Than Bros Pho; Truly Mediterranean

The photo from Redmond, WA shows Than Brothers Pho, a Vietnamese noodle shop, next to some place called Truly Mediterranean. Than Bros is the best pho ever. I don't think any other pho that I've had compares at all. A usual visit goes like this:

  1. Walk in, sit down. Look at menu for 1 minute.
  2. Order. Wait 30 seconds.
  3. Receive the usual plate of vegetables that goes with pho. Also get one extremely delicious "custard puff" dessert thingy at no charge.
  4. 30 seconds later, receive glass of water.
  5. 1 minute later, receive gigantic tub of extremely delicious pho. Total wait time: 3-5 minutes.

Yesterday when I was there for lunch/dinner, some old couple walked in, looked around, turned around a few times, and finally gave up and asked the waitress if she knew of a Mediterranean restaurant around there. Seriously? Mega-facepalm! (They had entered through the only door to the pho shop, which is right in front of that white car and like 10 feet from the Mediterranean place.)

I'm in the airport right now, waiting for my flight. I have a transfer at 6 AM... I will enjoy that.

One time, TSA caught me trying to smuggle a pear through security. What audacity I must have had to try to sneak a fruit past them. Then last week, they confiscated a 90% used tube of toothpaste from me. Boy, are they good at spotting dangerous items that I might use to blow up airplanes.

This time I lugged a large orange, a small watermelon, and a tube of toothpaste through security in my bookbag and didn't get the special treatment. They stopped my bag in the x-ray machine, and I think one of the guys was laughing at me, but they didn't say anything. I would be such a good terrorist.

in a month or so, when something blows up and you're found guilty, someone will cite this entry and say "why didn't we see the warning signs."
