A Different World

Back to the cold (and I mean frigid) North. And not a moment too soon.

Now don't get me wrong - I found Richmond, Va. a charming place (I'm expanding my vocabulary). Just a few things though -

• There are a lot of fast food places, more than I've ever seen anywhere else
• The 7-Eleven's in Va. are just as dirty as the ones in NJ
• I-95 is a road to everywhere and nowhere at the same time. (Put that in your existential pipe and smoke it!)
• I have only seen Food Lion in Va.
• Fried Catfish is the Wednesday special at the Holiday Inn
• People move a little slower than I typically like
• There are no professional sports teams in the Richmond area but plenty of Minor league stuff
• Newscasters are not very good looking (happens in less happening markets)
• Burger King has an Angry Whopper

So that is what I got. And before I leave I would like to wish the gentleman purchasing 3 big cans of Schlitz Malt Liquor and a couple of packs of menthol at 6:00 AM at the Wawa a great weekend! A quick start is a good start I guess!
