First appeared in Asimov's. Up for the Asimov's Reader's Poll award. Reprinted by Cynthia Manson and Charles Ardai. A sequel to "Why I Left Harry’s All-Night Hamburgers".
This time Harry is the main character. A traveler's UFO has broken down in the early hours of the shop's parking lot, and it can't be repaired. What can they do to keep from having Harry's discovered? *spoiler* Use it as a publicity stunt.
Charming tale with a great title, but not an especially strong addition to the series, probably because it does not appear to challenge the protagonist especially. Watt-Evans had the right idea as the series needs expansion. It is strengthened, though, being next to its prequel in his Crosstime Traffic collection. I love the clever MN plates in the book cover to the right.
