catmandoo, awesome story!

I can't afford to do the 7-Up thing. I fish with a little red cooler that holds only (9) beers if you pack the ice just right.

There's simply no room for a 7-Up.

Now before you go and get all judgemental, you don't know how many people drink those (9) beers.

"She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."
