(This post is actually about Monday but Wytheville wifi didn't work)
We are here in Wytheville, VA at our campsite and I'm a bit concerned. The campers next to us just pulled up and they are setting up cages for small dogs. I see three so far.
KFC
We've been seeing signs for a KFC buffet. Buffet? KFC? You mean like fresh KFC yumminess? All you can eat? So, desiring early coronary bypass surgery, we decide to stop in. We were charged $4.69 for each child even though they each only ate a biscuit and a few scoops of corn. Not to mention there was not anything new on the buffet line, and only one choice of chicken. One choice? From the folks who brought you ten different ways to combine chicken, salt and fat? The "all you can eat" buffet was more like the "we're too lazy to dish it out for you" buffet. Arrgh!
Tennessee DOT
We were traveling down I-40 west of Knoxville when we saw signs saying "I-40 closed next 43 miles." Not being familiar with the area, Bo and I pulled off and planned another route. The sign said "I-40 closed." Not just under construction but closed, as in, no cars. So we shut down Francois (he was having a bit of a melt down anyway-"recalculating route! recalculating route!") and planned to take route 70. I wish those clever cartographers told us that this road was narrow and curvy. We lost an hour and a half. Now I'm all for scenic routes but when you tell five cuties that we can swim if we get to the camp early, time becomes an issue. When we finally get done seeing all there is to see of southern Knoxville, we get back on I-40 only to see no signs that there was or ever will be any construction. Arrrghh!!!
Dump Ye Tanks While Ye May.
Our previous KOA didn't not provide a waste pipe at our site. Rather than spend time at the waste dump near the office, we said "We'll just dump the tanks tonight in Wytheville." Now we're at Wytheville, it's late, our site doesn't have a waste pipe and our tanks are 2/3 full. Piddle lightly kids! Arrrrghhhh!!!
One more arrghh! and I will have to break out the liquor Grandpa sent us home with. Thankfully, today is over, it's cool sleeping weather and tomorrow we head for two days in Hershey, Pennsylvania. If I don't blog, it's because I am in a chocolate coma.
Ahhhhh!!!

Additional Not-So-Good Decisions:
Wytheville is maybe 60 miles from our house and Monday was Memorial Day so the kiddies were out of school. It was a regular redneck holiday. We had the Midget Militia over for a visit/firefight. Kids and guns....thats a party! After the shootin' we threw the old Christmas tree into the firepit and lit'er up! Who needs eyebrows when you got hot dogs on a stick?
Y'all would have fit right in. Granted...we would not have let you dump your waste tanks either but we would have let you use the indoor plumbing. (Truth and candor...and we probably would have made Bo hose down his feet one extra time too). I never thought I would see the day when our snarky Yankee relations got too proud to come visit....sniff sniff.
