Outback

This evening we had dinner at the Outback Steakhouse. These pictures of Australia looked so  much like the Arizona Desert, particularly Sedona. The colors appeal to me.

Two parents and a young boy moved into the next booth. The kid had earphones and was preoccupied with his phone. I thought that he was watching a movie. He had definitely tuned out his parents.

Later the food arrived and we watched him eat a HUGE hamburger. When we were finished, I remarked that I was impressed that the boy ate the whole thing. His father gave a well balanced observation, “He’s thirteen, that’s what they do”.
