Chick-file-A Chronicles part 2

my next trip to Chick-Fil-A takes me across the country. in march of '06 my same friend as before sold his car to someone in N. Carolina, so as to get out from under its financial burden. so he and I drove the car to N. Carolina. now if you visit the Chick-Fil-A website you can find the closest store to a given location. you can also find all the stores on a given route. so we did, we mapped every store from Omaha to Virginia, where the last store was on the route (55 total). and so we headed off.

we got a bit of a late start, so the first Chick-Fil-A was in Columbia Missouri. but we would not make it before they closed. so my friend having researched this further knew that there was one in Overland Park Kansas, only one hour out of our way. not knowing exactly where it was, other then it was on the college campus in Overland Park. we went undetured. by a strange twist of fate of kismet or what have you we chose the second exit off the interstate. made a few turns and ran right into the college. I know you are thinking that this is just my way of making it sound magical or a form of destiny, but that is exactly how it happened. so my friend went in to scout it out. he came back about 10 minutes later to tell me he had found it, and it was closed. the only serve lunch and close at 4:00. so we went to Taco Bell. both of us like Taco Bell but it is not Chick-Fil-A. so we drove on through the night laughing and talking and having a good time.

about 5 A.M. we entered W. Virginia and came across another great restaurant that we both loved, Waffle House, again another place that is missing in the Midwest. so we stopped in for breakfast. for those of you that are unfamiliar with the Waffle House. it is a diner that specializes in breakfast type food. I should also mention that this is the type of place you doctor does not want you to go. I am still trying to get my cholesterol back down. so after a good breakfast and coffee that could wake the dead we set off on our way.

my friend by this time is starting to feel right at home as we venture south and east. three times the server uses a term that made him feel right at home. she said "Ya'll".
