OK, so the first sign of trouble was when I mapquested the distance from the airport to my hotel and it read 3 hours 17 minutes. What??? Then I realize that I am flying to Asheville, and I need to be in Asheboro. Good going. <\/p>\n

So anyway, the drive is nice, and I have a Ford POS rental, radio, no XM, no GPS etc. Also, no directions. So, as my phone is dying I send out one last SOS to VTWoody, who text’d me the correct directions. Bullet dodged. Then I start driving.
\na) Do you know how many stations there are in Western North Carolina you can get on the radio?
\nb) Do you know how long you can keep a station in tune?<\/p>\n

The answer to A depends on what you consider a station, and B is not damn long. And it was then that my radio pulled in this monstrosity.

At that point I was left with 3 options. 1) Drive off the cliff. 2) Park the car, jump off the cliff. 3) Find a Cracker Barrel in the next 15 miles and get a book on CD, or revert to either 1 or 2.<\/p>\n

So, here’s to you Mrs Cashier # 1228570 from Store # 269, you are a real American Hero, and don’t believe anyone who says otherwise.<\/p>\n

BTW: Happy Memorial Day weekend everyone. I will be spending tomorrow at a picnic with Vietnam Special Forces guys, and their friends the Montagnards that they brought over here to save them from persecution and almost certain death. And on Monday, I will be going to a Memorial Day event at the JFKSWC on Bragg, hopefully with a buddy of mine who served in my platoon in Afghanistan. I hope y’all get to spend it with your brothers and sisters in arms as well.<\/p>\n
