-=> Daryl Stout spoke thus to GAYLEN HINTZ <=-

 DS> Tennessee...and I had to change buses in Nashville during an extended
 DS> 8 hour layover (it wasn't as long a layover going to Huntsville, as it
 DS> was on the return trip).

 DS>   I have family over there, so they came down to the station, picked me
 DS> up, took me to a nearby White Castle Restaurant (where my lunch was 6
 DS> "gut grenades" (cheeseburgers with the fried onion bits), french fries,
 DS> and a drink), then to their place to visit with them for a bit.

 heheh, living high off the hog there son.   You know, in all my travels I 
never
have been to a White Castle establishment. I do, however, remember fondly that 
there was a Burger King and a Popeyes in one of those common kiosks at a truck
stop in Elgin Illinois.  I really got into that Popeye's chicken there and 
their
coleslaw was excellent.  Not gub bomb there. <g>

 DS>   On the way back, my aunt and I saw an ambulance with its back door
 DS> OPEN, going down the street ahead of us!! When we first saw it, it
 DS> didn't have its lights or siren on, but those came on shortly
 DS> thereafter. We thought for sure a gurney with a patient was going to
 DS> roll out of it at any moment!! 

 Oh my, that would have been scary. Of course  if it did I'm sure the patient
would have been a lot more afraid than you. 

 DS>   But, the NARROWNESS of the space between the bus seats, and the
 DS> HARDNESS of the metal seats in the station, made my butt go on the
 DS> verge of disowning me...and I thought hemorrhoids were bad!!  That's
 DS> why on my trip this fall, I'm going via Amtrak. Lots more leg room, and
 DS> in either my Sleeping Car Roomette or in Business Class, I can stretch
 DS> the legs out.

 I understand you there Daryl.  Last year one of our sons got us tickets to
the local Arena Football game here in Sioux Falls at the new Denny Sanford
Premier center.  Nice venue and lots of seats ..... but...... I'm 6ft 2 inches
or thereabouts and you cannot sit with your knees at a normal angle or they 
are
up against the back of the seat in front of you.  Now with my bad knees it 
only
took about a half an hour of so before they hurt so bad I couldn't sit and 
watch the game.  I spent the rest of the game in the standing only section.  
It was a great game , lots of fun but the seating ws horrible. 

What would a chair look like if your knees bent the other way?
