I recently read a book about Fred Harvey, who founded the first restaurant chain in America. He established “Harvey House” restaurants all along the Santa Fe rail line. Fred Harvey had grown discouraged with the poor quality of food that was offered to travelers and so he started a chain of...

I was glad he ended up spending nine years after his robbery charge. I, like many, thought the length of his sentence was a makeup sentence. JMO

It’s a 3 1/2 hour drive for us from Central Indiana to Holland. At this point we are thinking we will need to reschedule.

We had planned to have our dinner tomorrow in Michigan but unfortunately the weather forecast isn’t good. Possibly 8-12 inches of snow in northern Indiana and Michigan. Waiting to see if the forecast changes.

Just imagine if it happened to be the other way around. JMO

Remember what OJ said after he was acquitted? He said he was going to go out and search for the “real” killer. But he spent all his time on the golf course 🤣 Also, the book he wrote “If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer.” He "hypothetically" discussed the murders. which many people viewed...

We have a Yard House located here too, I’m surprised that they have a Thanksgiving dinner as it is more of a sports bar. But I just looked at the menu and they are serving all the traditional favorites, plus you can order off the regular menu. We like the food at Yard House. We often go there...

Interestingly, a neighbor posted on our neighborhood website that a man had walked directly into her house because they had forgotten to lock their doors. It was a case of a mistaken home. He thought he was entering a friend’s house. As you can imagine, all the comments underneath her post...

I have found some excellent restaurants attached to gas stations, or inside gas stations, in my travels.

We have a couple of sit-down restaurants that have amazing fried chicken. They fry the chicken in huge cast iron skillets that are over 100 years old, and they claim that the secret to their fried chicken is these cast iron skillets, well seasoned after frying chicken daily for 100 years...

I seldom eat fast food but I do observe all the drive-thru lines and parking lots as I travel around. Even with 7 Chick Fil A locations in fairly close vicinity to each other, the vehicles in the double drive-thru lines usually wind through the parking lot and sometimes out to the right lane in...

Fast food chicken places are super popular in the area where I live. We have all of the above plus a couple of new ones they opened within the last year: Raising Cane and Slim Chickens. A few Joelle’s hot chicken too. There are SEVEN Chick fil A locations within 15 minutes of my house.

I have mostly seen Popeye’s in city locations but we recently got one in the suburb where I live. I had no idea they had turkeys! Cajun style! From the website: It is fully cooked, infused with Louisiana-style seasonings, and sold frozen, so customers only need to thaw and reheat it before...

I’ve met a few in real life too. Very few. The ESPN 30 For 30 documentary series on OJ goes a good job in explaining how the not guilty verdict was possible despite substantial evidence.

Not even under home detention ☹️
