    Have you tried the new Flying J? It's been open for awhile now. Your at the crappy one on exit 4 right? New J is right by Stoops.

    The tragedy when that J burnt down was that the McDonalds didn't burn down also.

    Did you see the latest newsletter with everyone's years with the company? Mine said I've been here a year, when actually at the end of this month will be 4 years. Minus the 2 1/2 whole weeks I tried to go local.

    Somehow I've got to manage to fit in my DOT physical before the 11th. Let's see how this is going to work.

    The new Flying J is not conveniently across the street from Indian food. I cannot stress enough how significant that is in my decision-making process when it comes to places to park. ;)

    Is that the Pilot with the separate dirt lot in the back?. If so I have seen the lizards in the area. I think they mainly work out of that flea bag motel next to the dirt lot as I have seen a couple near there. I did get someone knocking on my door at 6am once, but I didn't bother looking out to see who it was.

    I've never seen any Indian food nearby there, so maybe we are not talking about the same place.

    The new FJ has an Arby's. You know you want some of that.

    Yeah, that's the same place. The Indian restaurant is called the Omlette Shoppe, so you wouldn't necessarily know it was an Indian restaurant. It's right next to the fleabag motel.

    Man, I can get Arbys #### near anywhere in These Here United States. The truck stops are lousy with 'em.

    Indian food, on the other hand...
     
    Redtwin Thanks this.
