Well the Andy William's Christmas Special was wonderful. Andy Williams is 82 and can still sing. His show had several very talented performers and the band was exceptionally good. We had a blast. The crowd was largely elderly people many of which had trouble walking. After the show I was concerned that the mass exodus of whitetoppers might require hours to clear the building. So I figured if the crowd was moving too slow I would stand up on a chair and yell, "Cracker Barrell has 2 for 1 dinner specials for the next 30 minutes." That would clear the house in 2 minutes.
Please don't be confused about Andy's show. It was wonderful. He remains a showman. Women still lust after him and throw their panties up on stage. However now the panties are connected to supphose and don't quite have the same effect.
Did I say that I loved the show? The crowd was as much entertainment as the actors.
We drove the magically HWY 160 today. It is a very sinuous road but nothing like I expected. The Crapper dealt with it quite well. If The Crapper had more horsepower and suspension Deb might have screamed bloody murder. The road was nothing like I expected. North Carolina has a couple roads much worse that HWY 160. The Love Boat would not be a good vehicle to drive on it but it was nothing like the road on Monday. I did notice a campground underwater there. I have pictures that I will post when I figure out how to do so. The campground was next to a major lake that flooded. That is all we know. When we were PT Crappering the road we passed an older motorhome that was headed in the opposite direction. We laughed and said that their GPS took them down the supposed "curvy road from hell". Later we retraced our path and returned to the underwater campground, you might guess who we found in the parking lot there. If you guessed the older motorhome you are correct. Evidently somebody didn't get the memo that the campground required a propeller to find their campsite.
One last thing about Branson. We saw a convenience store in the downtown area that had the normal gas pumps and stuff. What this store unique was that it advertised on its sign, guns, ammo, liquor, and hot dogs. Doesn't that sound like a man's Walmart?
We are in Tulsa, OK. Tulsa is a nice town--sort of like Raleigh. We have a spot at the Warrior RV Park. Warrior my big old hairy butt. This place sucks. Did I mention that it sucks. The pull through sites are actually pull throught sites but... In a motorhome pulling a car, the utility connections are usually in the center of the 65 ft pad. That is so that you can use a sewer connection less than 20 ft. This "RV Park" had them at the end of the pad exactly where the car would sit. Well duh, we don't carry hoses, electric lines, or sewer hoses long enough to go 30ft. So we were forced to disconnect the car. Which lengthens our time to get out by about 20-30 minutes. To make matters worse, we are next to an extremely busy road. The noise will keep us up.
I got to be a part of a 2 million Christmas light display kickoff tonight. I am a lucky man. James Shelby of the Rhema Church is in charge of it. This is likely the largest and best Christmas light display in the US. Wow is all I can say.
We had dinner at Val and Kurt's house. Val wanted to make sure that we had a Thanksgiving, home cooked meal. Dinner was wonderful as well as their company. Thank you again for dinner.
