So, I'm not sure if it was the moon or what today but there were several things that just really struck me as strange and I want to talk about them.
Vanity plates. I thought they were really cool in high school. I used to try to think of some 7 letter phrase that was really cool. I never came up with one that I found to be witty enough to spend the extra money on. Today I was driving behind IGOT2GO. Now, the first thing that I'm wondering is where. Where do they have to go? The bathroom? Is this an all the time type problem? Are they a doctor that deals in the lower digestive track? Wouldn't that be UGOT2GO? Or is it a place? Did they get to go to some concert or country that they had always wanted to see? Is this really vanity plate worthy? I contemplated going up to them at the red light but you never know who is packing and someone with a vanity plate like that might be IGOT2GO to jail. So I wasn't messing with them.
While I was still behind him or her (I never got close enough to figure that one out) I passed a Quality Inn. I'm sure it is a fine Quality Inn. I'm sure it is clean and a standard hotel room that is perfectly fine for a weary traveler to refresh themselves in on a long road trip. I'm sure their little soaps and shampoos and what not are completely adequate for the price that you pay for your room. The sign out front however made me wonder. It said Best Hot Breakfast In Town! Really? That is a pretty strong statement from a Quality Inn where most of its cooking is done in a microwave. So, then as I'm driving all I can think of is all of the other places that I would think would have a better hot breakfast than them. Then I am wondering if it makes Cracker Barrel (who is right across the street) mad. I would put Cracker Barrel's hot breakfast up against any other one in town. I then thought of all the little grandma's who still make full hot southern breakfast for their little grandpa husband's with scratch made biscuits and ham fresh from the farm and I'm seriously considering turning around and going into the Quality Inn and just saying YOU LIE! and turning around and leaving. I'm not one to spread ill will though so I didn't.
Why is food that is bad for you so easy to get and cheap? I needed a quick something to eat before going over to the kids school for pet day today. I contemplated a cafeteria that is known for its southern goodness but there just wasn't enough time. So, I decided on Krystal. It would be fast and I didn't want something big. I got a $1.49 kids meal...$1.63 with tax. For my money I received a small drink, a Krystal, fries and an order of sweet bites...think munchkins fried. As I consumed my lunch I thought about what I was eating. Not smart. Grease with a side of sugar followed with a blob of fat. Yummo! I guess I just need to plan better. I know places have wraps and other sorts of better for me food but not for that cheap! CRAZY!
and that ladies and gentlemen is what drove me crazy today.
