what we're dealing with

It's not all swimming holes and friendly people here. It's also bad food and bad politics. I have spoken about this before. However, I have not spoken about bad pie. Frank had two pieces at lunch. One was purportedly peach/pecan. but seemed to have been laced with vinegar.  The other one was some strawberry mush, which he said was slightly better: "It was honestly bad. The other was bad because the good was absent from it. It was possible to pick the good out of the strawberry pie. There was no good to pick from the other." However, he ate all of both.
