You forelorn wayfarers of the IHOP buffet, you wanderers in the world of whole wheat bagels, low fat egg substitutes, flavored coffee creamer and Sunday brunches;



Now hold on thar just a minnet, pardner.... :pistols:

I know you are not talking about me.....are you....LON? :fryingpan:

IHOP, indeed. Flavored coffee creamer? YECHH! Low fat egg substitutes? :fryingpan: :fryingpan: :fryingpan:

Certainly there are thousands of American Icon-type diners left who do not subscribe to this heresy, who serve real eggs from real hens; who make their own biscuits and cover them with gravy not from cans of wallpaper paste; who know how to make a burger of fresh red beef that is more than 1/4" thin and less than the diameter of a hubcap; who bake their own pies and fill them with real fruit and not synthetic fluorescent red goo...in fact, I know these do exist because I read Jane and Michael Stern's great books on this subject.

Ladies and gentlemen, we do NOT have to go to (pale green shade here) the Waffle House (or even worse, dark green shade here, the Huddle House, which is a bad imitation of WH) to see the real America of which Lon speaks.

Lon;

Ah, someone to commiserate (sp) with. You praise it more eloquent than I could. I do love the place, and the lost society they represent.

The food is really not that bad. It is good quality food before the "grill operater" gets it. Oh, and there is a reason they call him a "grill operater", and not a "cook". Anyway, when I know the "GO", and he knows how I like my waffle, or "quarter cheese plate, scattered, smoothered, and covered" or, I am sitting at the counter, and can tell the "GO" just how I like it.

Now for some background. Since I left home in the early 1960's, I have lived and flourished on Air Force food, Army food, Navy food. Then there was 7 years of really good looking but can't boil water "Tall, long legged blonde" food, and finally, way too many years of "Ken's Kitchen" food. I tell you this because when I say "The food is really not that bad", you can see that my point of reference is some what different than most.

I will say that even if the food was great, I would probably still eat at a few select Waffle Houses.

OK, now then Doc;

I turned away for a moment, and missed the H1B connection. Have no idea what you are referring to. Also, hope you are not serious about being "villified". I had no intention to do so. I have no doubt that your "bots" are very sophisticated, and have issues and needs that we are just now beginning to recognize.

Well, you all have had a busy day chit chatting! And here I am after nine. I did get on this morning and was able to read, but lost the signal when I went to post.

Anyway, Doc - we do live in Liverpool, NY but have been in Florida for the winter. Snowbelt to the sunshine state. We leave here (FL) in the morning. It's time to go - it's getting HOT. We will be back in L'pool April 17 to visit the "room" as Rick mentioned.

On the way home we will camp for nine days and then visit Kate and Ed in Raleigh, see eight of our ten grandchildren and then go home and hug the remaining two little people. It's been a great trip, but it's time to go home. We are good to go - slide in, car hitched, coffee pot full and ready to be turned on...but we only have to travel just over the Georgia line tomorrow. We are taking our time and smelling the roses.

Too many "See yous" and hugs exchanged today. Lots of email addresses shared, and we had a lot of fun. There are a lot of people we met that we truly hope to see down the road. This RV life is such a great way to go.

I do not think I have ever been to a Waffle House so I'm out of that conversation.

and to think, all of this started because someone mentioned Waffle House. How many billions of dollars did this cost? LOL, only a little wind? a couple of years back, someone mentioned Iraq, and look what that has cost.

There were actually some positive points from today's explosions. We learned a lot more about DragginRat. We learned a little more about Orson and this strange creature he keeps around to drive the mh.

Chrissy is gonna take me to places I have never been before, as long as I bring lobster. Oh, doesn't that sound kinky?

but that was yesterday. It is almost tomorrow. what does that make this moment?

I am guessing that there will be a lot of RVs North bound first thing tomorrow morning. For everyone on this forum that will be in that mess, please drive carefully. The rest of us are waiting to hear from you upon your arrival in the Frigid, Wet, Windy North. Have a nice trip, and BE OF GOOD CHEER!!

Ken,
I envision a traffic jam getting out of this cg! Half the free world is leaving here tomorrow and there are 1300 sites :( We are not buying into the six and seven AM leavers. 9 or 10 works for me.
The birds are flying north, though. Florida can get its roads and stores back. It will be interesting to see what the traffic is like.
Hasta la vista - hopefully will have some connection as we travel :)
Keep having a day ;)

A complete spectrum of the human species. We have guys that are ready to "NUKE" Canada for even the most silliest of imagined slights.

Oh really now??? Pray, do tell us more.....
