 The View From La Grange, GA

If it’s Tuesday, I must be on the road again. Posting from La Grange, GA this time, and I’ll be here for the next 10 days. To be completely honest, I’m actually in a town called Newnan, but for some reason the Corporate Overlord calls this market La Grange, which works for me — after all, ZZ Top doesn’t have a song called “Newnan.”

Anyway, the view here is fabulous. Here, see for yourself.

What that view doesn’t show you is the absolute best feature of the area, visible from the front of the hotel: a Waffle House within walking distance. And another Waffle House on the other side of the highway. I’m smack-dab in the middle of a pair of Waffle Houses. It don’t get much better than that! I had dinner there tonight — a Texas Cheesesteak sandwich and hashbrowns scattered, smothered, covered, chunked and topped. Aaaahhhh…

And now I’m back in my room swigging Diet Pepsi, eating a Moon Pie and watching Big Brother.

La Grange is off to a fine start.

    Entries in which you describe majestic vistas from small town America could be the source of inspiration for an anti-coffee table book.

    The book would be a photo essay of all of these stays you’ve endured. That could be very funny. Make a great Christmas gift.

    Nice dinner…

    “CLEAR!” [~ka-ZAP!~]…beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep “Try it again, CLEEEEEEAR!” [~ka-ZAP!~]… beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee…

    Actually, my wife would kill me herself (before the yummy greasy food even had a chance to do its work) if I ever tied one on like that!

    I’m just saying… :-)

    Yeah, and his wife is absolutely thrilled that he eats like that.

    If I’m not mistaken, you sound like you are actually enjoying yourself. Either that or you are being deftly sarcastic.

    I travel a lot (too much), to places like Mason Ohio, and Concord Ohio.

    When I’m in those places, I find it hard to settle in very comfortably. I’m glad you can, though! I should open my mind to the Waffle Houses of the world, perhaps.
