Morning Discussion: Post-It From America

by Alice O'Connor, Sep 10, 2009 7:00am PDT

My American adventure is drawing to a close and I must say I'm going to miss you, young man. You're the progeny I shall never understand but you're alright in my book. We should see more of each other.

Having received a dose of the Virginia suburb experience, I would rather like to take similar jaunts to other parts of your mahoosive and diverse land. Downtown Salt Lake City, a tiny apartment in San Francisco, a bungalow in a one-stoplight Minnesota town, out in the New Mexico sticks... not chasing sights and attractions but simply enjoying a snifter of life. Take care, have fun, be good and don't be a stranger.

They just opened a Raising Cane's nearby (Park and Midway) and I decided to check it out today. Talk about a madhouse. There were so many people trying to get in the drive thru that the line was practically running into the street. I think I saw cops directing traffic, too. Inside was just as crazy; I have seldom felt more "in the way" than I did while waiting for my food.

I don't even know where to begin judging fried chicken, though. I guess it was good.
