Kountry Flavor

Austin recorded these lunch conversations at the Kountry Kitchen Restaurant in Honaker, VA:

*Overheard conversation:

Man #1 (with "Jesus is my boss" hat, to the woman): Hey, you know what they make cole-slaw out of in China?
Woman (thinking, then): No
Man #1: Cabbage! (deep, throaty, 50 years of smoking cigarette laugh followed)
Man #2: I thought you said she went to college! (lots of said laughing)

We were not expecting that to stay so "clean."

*Partial conversation between Jon and the same group of people:

Man #2: So you seen many girls along the way?
Jon: There aren't many girls on the side of the road.
Man #2 (after throaty laughter from the rest of them): Ya doan haffa be mean tuh me!
Jon: I was just...
Man #2: No, that's all I have to say to you.

Comments:
When I was about your age (only a few years ago), a friend and I rode non-stop to Miami. Oh, I meant we drove to Miami non-stop. We were pretty proud of ourselves - 22 hours - no sleep - stopping only for gas, and you know what else. We even had to drive on a non-interstate road - yes, in those days, the interstate wasn't finished. Boy, that was rough. The worst part was when we got to Miami (in the morning) we had to wait a few hours until our motel room was ready. Talk about challenges - being tired and sitting in a bar waiting for our room. And you think you have it tough.

When I think about what you guys are doing, I'm really impressed - but not jealous (I can't ride more than a couple of miles on a bike without my tush really hurting) but definitely impressed. I love the blog - stay safe and have fun!
 
I forgot to enter my name for that comment about Miami - Dave W.

JJ, glad you are ok. Hope that is the last of incidents like that. Hope you are keeping a diary of all the Wonerful people and things you see. Could be very educational for folks to read. We are off to the Cape tomorrow. We will be thinking of you and of great swims in your honor. Hey to Austin. Monique & Ray
