Come Along with Me....

Bob Bob Bobbin’ Along

I notice our emerging Red Robin now sports a sign informing us: “In Training, Opening Soon”, and in fact there are occasionally clusters of uniformed people standing outside smoking. Nice. Although I am (and will remain) critical of the Olive (pre packaged, pre made food) Garden, I don’t harbor the same feelings for the RR. Being a “Burger Joint”, albeit upscale, I don’t think they will seriously impact the locally owned places. You want a burger? Fine, pick your poison: Mickey Dees and relatives, Five Guys, and now the Red Robin. There’s a nice price spread from the former to the latter, and maybe they have a good product. Too bad we can’t get an In and Out!!

Snackin’ Along

Snack alert! Always on the lookout for good snacking, I have found that Stacy’s Pita Chips are a nice deal. Several flavors from plain to cheesy to tuscan herb, all pretty tasty. I haven’t and won’t try the cinnamon. I know they are available at the Shoppers Food Warehouse, usually sitting atop the “gourmet” cheese island by the seafood.

Travelling Along

Tomorrow we’re going to man up the MOMSTER and head west. Some friends are obtaining a house in St. Louis, and we’re caravanning with them to bring some of the more fragile things with white glove service. After we off load there, we’re taking a little “side trip” up to Wisconsin to check on MFO’s mom. Things are not real great and she wants to make a visit. By way of saying I will once again be dependant on wi-fi zones, and an “iffy” air card (Verizon doesn’t penetrate Onalaska very well), so Feeders may be sporadic.


Chuckling Along

Lastly, people often send me little notes on this and that, and not wanting to open the flood gates I normally enjoy them (don’t stop!) but don’t include them. The other day somebody sent a note about “7 ways to understanding engineers”. They kind of hit close to home! Here’s one of them:

Two engineering students were going across a university campus when
one said, "Where did you get such a great bike?" The second engineer replied, "Well, I was walking along yesterday, minding my own business, when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike, threw it to the ground, took off all her clothes and said, "Take what you want!" The first engineer nodded approvingly and said, "Good choice; the clothes probably wouldn't have fit you anyway."

Okay, we need to be getting along,

DF??
