USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.
Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.
I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."
"They just come with the table, man."
They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.
This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.
I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.
"Did we…?"
"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."
Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.
My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."
Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.
I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.
Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.
I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.
Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.

City of Crime (1987). Tom Hanks and Dan Aykroyd did this soundtrack single for their 1987 movie Dragnet. Paula Abdul managed the choreography. It never troubled the charts, but it's pretty fun.
Don’t care what the critics say- The Mandalorian and Grogu was a good time. Granted, it didn’t expand the lore of Star Wars overall, but it helped to reset the franchise as a viable entity in theaters.
Important point on this:
These tickets cannot be scalped or resold. Non-transferable and will be given to winners on the day of the games, at the site from which fans will be transported via (free) buses to MetLife Stadium.
