  Eat Do Avoid; Deep In The Heart Of Texas   If animal feed’s your thing, and let’s face it, who’s ain’t it, then San Antonio Texas is the place to be. This coming Monday anyone who’s anyone in the world of animal feed will be in San Antonio to attend AAFCO’s Mid-Year meeting.  Now before you go googling AAFCO.org you may wanna just take my word for it, we’re a big deal.  For those traveling into town, relax, I showed up early to make sure you find the right restaurants, see all the best sights, and not get taken by the local tourist traps.  So, let’s get this list started.   Here’s todays Eat Do Avoid. Welcome to the Alamo (Please ignore the UFOs)   Eat : Since today was a travel day that involved a couple of flights, the meal choices were limited.  I’d suggest that for those flying you take it easy on the vittles until you’ve touched down in Texas. Do it as a courtesy to the person fortunate enough to be setting next to you fo...

I was setting here trying to remember the last time I was fortunate enough to spend a few days sight-seeing with my beautiful bride and it hit me, Albuquerque NM, January of 2020.     Wow, what a time.

Oh well, I’m sure we all laughed about it went I first wrote it.   San Antonio Sunset at the Alamo Fast forward to today and here I go again, or should I say we. After narrowly avoiding a suitcase incident late last night, my lovely bride and I have arrived at good ole RDU ready to fly, and it was like we had never missed a beat!    My driving to the airport was suspect, my aggressiveness at the parking deck entrance was notice...

August 6, 2017 Tukwila, WA For all my friends that will be joining me in Seattle later this week, I've been asked to keep sort of a travel log, things you might want to do, places you might want to go eat and things you might just need to avoid.   Let’s just call it an Eat, Do, Avoid list. Here's what I learned from today's adventure. Eat: For pure value, the free breakfast buffet at the Hampton can't be beat. Add to that the opportunity to make new friends. Beth picked us out a lovely family to eat with, if only they had spoken English, or maybe if I had known they didn't speak English 10 to 15 sentences sooner. It's ok, I'm sure they weren't taking about me! Oh, and by the way, for all you people reading this who are visiting here from one of those foreign places where you eat all natural straight from the garden to the table wholesome goodness foods; Let Your Kid Eat a Waffle!!! You're on vacation, give em a break, and maybe they will stop...
