Lunch and the motorcycles

 Passing by my favorite barbecue place, Oakie Doakies in Swannanoa NC. Sorry about the car reflections.

I've often considered looking closer at the store of Harley Davidson motorcycles. So I snuck in their driveway to take this photo. They are just off the exit from I-40 in Swannanoa NC!

I stopped to say hi to a good friend who works in the Ingles Gas Station...no photo.

Then I went and got my Impossible Whopper, Onion Rings and a diet Coke next door. (Almost all plant based!)

Until a reasonable minimum wage is legislated, this sign offers $11.00 to 11.50/hour. It's better than some, but they still are short-staffed.

And cars line up to get their lunches from the under-staffed drive-through window. The inside counter is not even open...thus they avoid having to work the orders that would be there, as well as clean it, the tables, and the bathrooms!

And on another topic...the hosts of Jeopardy. I watch this show every night I'm home, which is most nights these days...and have been saddened by the death of its long time host Alex Trebek (a Canadian as most know.) His replacement is changing yet again...HERE.

Today's quote:

Remaining limber and agile is very important, and when you stretch using the correct techniques, you will feel younger and freer at any age.

A bit of a rant...

If you are a football fan, I hope you have a bit of understanding that the world does not revolve around that sport...nor baseball, nor basketball.
They are entertainment.

They are not my choice of entertainment.  If you can understand that many people like to watch regular shows on TV, and don't want the infringement of a non-favorite uninteresting show that bumps their favorites...can you grasp that concept?

Why would a major network put the choices of players for football teams, not even a game, on instead of Jeopardy?

It has happened before, and I thought it was a decision of a local station.  Now it seems it was the network all across the country.

Why would I be upset about this?

Jeopardy has been having 16 straight winning games by one young man, that's why.  He's won over a million dollars, and I've watched all but one of the shows.  It's amazing.

And tonight the picks of players for the NFL was on, while the Jeopardy show was happening. (I know it's taped, and I may get it on YouTube TV tomorrow.)  I am just astounded.  And I could always wake up again at 2:30 am in the morning to see the same show.  The last time that it was bumped was during the championships...the final night even.  This is a show that is enduring, and has millions of fans.

And now that Alex Trebek has pancreatic cancer, I want to see as many shows as I can while he is healthy enough to do them.
