We purchased a 1958 GMC 4104 on ebay. The bus was 4.5 hours away across the Smoky Mountains. It took us seven hours to get it home, but we made it.

Personally, I feel that any day is a good day for lamb, but Easter is especially lambic. Lambie was very tasty

We want our Eastside La Fiesta Back!!!!!

No way we are eating Mexicali, so we head across town to try out the Timothy Road La Fiesta, I mean Dos Palmas. Its very strange, its like they took La Fiesta, renamed it, moved a few walls, painted, bought new waitstaff and opened for business. The menu seems to be identical. The food is tasty, somewhat authentic and not overtly cheesified. If you were a fan of La Fiesta, you will slip right in.

Did I say we want our Eastside La Fiesta back? Its been since December, repair the fire damage already, pretty please.

Today Husband, Sister and HusbandOfSister, along with the Fours R’s, Ripley, Remy, Rikka and Rainah, went to an Easter Egg Hunt. It was hosted by Pawtropolis and was for the benefit of Helping Paws Rescue. HusbandOfSister teamed with Remy were the clear winners of our Group if not the whole event. They won the Grand Prize!
It was a great turnout. A really great turnout considering the weather. It snowed today! It snowed in March! In Georgia! Creepy.
Thanks to all the Pawtropolis Employees who stayed up late filling all the Easter Eggs. My dogs had a great time.

It my very unbirthday

I finally set something up on Flickr. My dogs are COMPLETELY INSANE.

Hmmm, this is a tough one. In general we would rather eat at/support a local place with history and community involvement. We would also like a clean table and some sort of waitron.

We walked in and the place had a few tables with people, an empty table by the door, and several empty booths with the detritus from the last meal. Like most people, we don’t want to sit five feet from the front door, so we settle into a booth and scoot the tip out to the front and skim the napkins, paper plates, and styro cups to the back. We sit, we wait, we wonder. Finally I get up to eyeball the pizza buffet (all you can eat). After thoroughly memorizing the offerings, I decided to stand in line a the register to enquire if we need to place the order there or if there is a service staff. After a few minutes of queueing, I notice a person who might be a waitress walking by our table. She doesn’t stop, so I stop her and ask for instructions. She indicates that, 1) yes she is a waitress and 2) yes, she will take our order. She comes back, no menus (I saw them while queueing, so they do exist) and takes our drink order. She leaves, the tips go with her, the trash remains. When she returns with our Cokes, we start handing her the trash. Maybe she was having a bad day, maybe I was hungry, mabye-schmaybe.

We order the buffet. The pizza is not bad, its of the thickthin crust variety and the sauce is minimal and ok tasting. I guess it tasted better than Papa Johns or Pizza Hut, but marginally so.

It was pretty cheap, $14 for 2 including sodas. Still not sure what to recommend though. Support your locals I guess. Damming though faint praise?
