Driving through Corbin , Kentucky, came upon the Kentucky Fried Chicken original restuarant and museum,  so funny, Trish always calls it  _ucky Fried Chicken.  It is a modern outlet, but has his original kitchen, his office with what must be the first electric typewriter, and an original motel room furnished as in the 1940's. It was around eleven o'clock, but we resisted having _ucky Fried Chicken for breakfast, believe me, many people were! I remember the very first KFC opening on Quinpool Road in Halifax, Ernie Edwards from Edwards Fine Foods on Barrington St. got the Franchise and from then on, called himself Colonel Ernie Edwards, a good friend of mine went straight from Vocational school to the KFC, his name was Brenton Hubley, he later had a KFC franchise in Bedford!  I think back to when we travelled two years ago with a GPS,  it was a women's voice, I used to call her the nagavator, Trish is becoming a great map reader and navigator, don't need that modern technology!  Magnolia trees are in full bloom and many Canada Geese are still here, waiting for a little warmer weather in Canada!  Buying gas for $4.00 a CANADIAN gallon, getting 14 miles per gallon with camper, we were getting 19 miles per gallon at home but truck wasn't broken in, only 500 miles on it ,when we left home!  Trish's cigs are more than half less than at the reserve home, 38 bucks a carton! GOD BLESS AMERICA!
