Tom the Dancing Bug by Ruben Bolling for January 28, 2021

Often has been the meal in a diner when I did not have a book that I was grateful for the factoid rich paper placemat. I am 6’2" and 260 pounds with a bit of my college football build still apparent and I have gotten plenty of strange looks in the many truck stops all across this great land I have been a patron in when I asked for the kids placemat and the crayons. One of the purer expressions of white privilege that I have enjoyed in my lifetime is coloring in public. Yes my tongue was at the corner of my mouth.
