Notes from a trip to Virginia
Notes from a 1400 mile trip to Virginia with my father in law and Joann
I now know every "Country Western" song every recorded
The people in the south are very friendly helpful and cordial
I get cramps in my leg if I drive more than 3 straight hours
Why cant I pump my own gas in New Jersey??..I have been pumping gas here since I was fifteen
It is fun to watch an older southern gentleman regain his rural drawl as he gets closer to his boyhood home.
Southern people going into Walmart,( most over 200lbs...even kids), move slower than the traffic entering the George Washington Bridge
Dogs run loose in the neighborhoods of the South
And everyone has at least five...and they all try to out bark each other
Beer on the porch at 11am is considered lunch
How does a waitress remember what somebody orders for breakfast when they only visit there home town a couple of times a year.
They eat more for breakfast than I do for all of my meals of the day...combined
Everyone knows everyone and all of their personal business...at least the waitresses do
Bacon, eggs, grits, ham, bacon, sausage, white toast, bacon, coffee ( no lattes), bacon and chewing tobacco
Real men dont wear shorts in the south
They can smell a old Yankee commie hippie coming a mile away
, especially if he is wearing shorts.
Nobody walks in the south...the sidewalks ( if there were any) roll up after 8pm
They smile and wave a lot in the south
It was a great trip...you always go the extra mile for your family
