I told myself I wasn't going to do it.  I was going to wait until the newness of it had worn off.  But I couldn't.  I was drawn to the new Popeye's Chicken like a hungry moth to the flame.  I wasn't alone.  I'd heard stories all week about the long lines, the traffic jams.  But I didn't care.  So on Sunday, my son and I set forth on a mission to have chicken like we'd never had it before.

We arrived Sunday at around 1130, and yes, the drive thru line stretched out onto Blairsferry road.  We decided to take a chance and eat inside.  The line inside Popeye's stretched to the back of the store and was filled with people just waiting for a taste of Louisiana!  Chase found a seat for the two of us while I waited....and waited...and waited.  Then, just when it seemed like I was getting closer, we were informed that their CREDIT CARD machine was down!  And me...with no cash.  I got Chase and we left.

I know the newness will wear off eventually.  But I seriously think that it would take less time to drive to Waterloo, eat at the Popeye's there, and then drive back home.  Somebody time it.  Please.
