News flash: 1/2 price cheeseburgers taste better than full price cheeseburgers

It's true and we all know it. Discounted food is naturally more satisfying than its regularly priced counterparts. Every Monday, for almost two years now, we have tried to go to Chicken Oil in Bryan to get 1/2 price cheeseburgers on Monday night. If you add fries and a drink, it totals $6.15. I like to order my burger without tomatoes and using an alias. Last night I was John Wayne. I don't think the lady believed that I was really John Wayne.

Another way to increase your level of dining enjoyment is to have a nice dinner companion. More specifically, one who is willing to fly all the way from Houston just to eat greasy cheeseburgers that move through you like a Kenyan in a marathon. Andrew flew his plane to College Station again for dinner. It was a beautiful day and I'm glad he did. I had been working on homework most of the day, so it was a welcome break.

I took some pictures of his plane as he was landing, doing his taxi, debriefing, and then again at sunset before he left. They are in the picasa, but are also embedded below. I got a few that I was really pleased with.



I'm thinking I will have to do something special as my college career comes to an end.... You'll just have to see.
