Hi Dave,
RH> The old what used to be called "candy bar" phones--pre smart phones.
DD> I remeber those. A lot like my land-line wireless handset.
RH> Yes, but usually smaller. I don't like the way phones have gotten
RH> bigger--my hands are small so holding something like an I-phone
RH> actually hurts them because of the stretch. When we goe me a new phone,
RH> I have to see how well it fits my hand before I OK it.
DD> I think you'd do well to go bzck to a flip phone, then. Or check with
DD> Consumer Cellular to see if they have a down-sized smarty-pants phone.
I do like the smart phone, especially when we travel and I can't fire up
my net book or tablet. I can check the "need to knows" on the phone, use
it to figure gas milage before we leave the station, find nearby places
to eat or stay and so on.
RH> Last summer, coming from the 4 Corners to the Phoenix area, we stopped
RH> in a small town in AZ for supper, decided to do Church's. Doors were
RH> locked but they let us in when they saw the camper wouldn't fit under
RH> the drive thru bar. Turned out they only did drive thru but made an
RH> exception for us. First time we'd had Church's chicken since before
RH> Steve went into the Army--and no jalapeno pepper with it.
DD> We used to have a Church's locally .... but their location did them
DD> in. It was at an intersection of two busy streets - one of which could
DD> not
DD> be used for entry/exit as it was on the downslope of the viaduct under
DD> the rail corridor (6 tracks) that the propert backed up on. And the
DD> location at a traffic light meant that the entrance/exit on that road
DD> were usually blocked by motorists waiting for the light to change or
DD> zipping along trying to get through the corner before having to stop
DD> and wait. After the chicken place closed some optimist had a used car
DD> lot
DD> there for a while. But, mostly, the property has been vacant.
Somebody wasn't fully thinking when the property was bought to use for a
fast food place. Sounds like a vacant lot is probably the best use of
the property. (G)
DD> Popeyes, meanwhile, continues to do a "land office" business in their
DD> two easily accessible locations. They have recently added a blackened
DD> chicken sandwich to their line-up.
I've seen it advertised but not had the blackened (or regular) sandwich
at Popeye's. Our usual order is a 2 piece meal (ight, mild for me and
dark, spicy for Steve). He usually gets the red beans & rice; I usually
get the cole slaw. Most of the time I'll take one piece of chicken and
both biscuits home for another couple of meals (2 breakfast biscuits,
one lunch or supper chicken piece) as I just don't have the big appetite
I used to have.
