I also have the dream of running a hot dog cart but I am not a people person so it remains a dream. Not sure how I ended up with this dream but I consider it at least once a year and have for 20 some years. Probably has something to do with that summer when I was young and broke and $2 hot dogs heaped with onions and sour kraut sustained me. I miss that cart. Here is to another shutdown, lets hope this one lasts long enough to make a difference.
