Observations

 Spent 6 days in Bama....mostly getting my new 'star-card'-license-ID. Six  observations.

1.  Rode Delta.....curious....their attendants are all mostly 50-plus years old, and  25-to-40 pounds extra.  

2.   Ate at the Waffle-House (Athens, Ala) twice.  Got the bill at the end.....each time....waitress wrote on the back 'Jesus-loves-you'. You don't get that in Germany.  Yeah, I tipped extra.

3. Ate fantastic catfish, bar-b-q each day.

4. Upon return via Frankfurt Airport....customs lady saw me heading toward the 'all-others' entry point  with my German visa card....stopped me, and said 'son, you use the EU point instead....you are one of us'. I felt special....but to be honest.....I'd rather it not get around that I'm 50-percent EU.

5. Stopped at a Buc-ees.  Spent about an hour walking around.  Yeah, it'll kill regular gas stations, but I'm not really seeing interior shopping as a plus-up there.  They do have five-star bathrooms....I admit.

6.  Just seems like a awful lot of medication TV advertisements.  Some  point....local plastic surgery shop (Huntsville)....telling you if you get seen by Doc-so-and-so.....he can lessen your butt appearance/size.  Seems like folks are prioritizing butt size.
