Steel City
There is honking and screaming outside of my window. Sometimes in unintelligible bursts and other times I can make out words like “Superbowl” and “Steelers”. I never keep up with sports but I sometimes get sucked into playoff games when I have a vague connection to the team. I watched the last half of the last quarter of the game today, just enough to understand all the hoopla outside. In Pittsburgh saying “Go Steelers” is a normal way to greet someone, so this is huge.
Last night I was eating at a Vietnamese restaurant and overheard a conversation between a customer picking up a to-go order and the owner. As he handed over his money the man asked the owner if he kept up with football. The owner said yes, he watched it from time to time and that it was good; that it seemed to make people in Pittsburgh happy. I guess I can step back from my jaded perch and agree.
Go Steelers.
