Often we would be pleasantly surprised, but there can always be ringers -- that's part of the adventure.joaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09999395062839739698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2248452688088218010.post-15563891768580081912016-02-02T20:28:47.686-05:002016-02-02T20:28:47.686-05:00A lot of people do the same thing, I am sure, whic...A lot of people do the same thing, I am sure, which is one reason the chains do well.Meryl Baerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13482532818278685217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2248452688088218010.post-38826114069713981542016-02-02T20:28:08.488-05:002016-02-02T20:28:08.488-05:00I like your idea about following the cars.

There used to be a blog by a couple who drove all over the us in two trips and their primary mission was pie everywhere they went, but darned if I can find it these days.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15195838412173806659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2248452688088218010.post-87998802962791900692016-01-31T21:08:26.415-05:002016-01-31T21:08:26.415-05:00And the signs are not fattening!
