Okay, okay, I will quit it with the doomsday talk on Dayton, but things still aren't all that rosy. My day started with a lunch (remember, this is all after my previous post, written this morning) with my three traveling companions and a local collaborator. After an hour or so lunch, we went to our scheduled meeting, which took us until after five o'clock. The four of us decided to meet up at six for dinner, so I took my hour leave to change to civilian clothes and rest up, and then we set out for dinner, which was conveniently just up the street: A Quaker Steak and Lube. Yes, what a horribly un-appetizing name. It was alright. Not my idea of a nice travel outing, but we got some chit-chat going over our American comfort food (deep fried pretzels was the appetizer of choice. I tried one. Thoughts of suicide have still not left my head). Our waitress was a real cutie too, I gave her a nice big tip (Hey!, they work hard!) After that, we retired to our rooms.
And here we are!! I spent the evening in my room, just taking it easy and surfing the net. I didn't have much choice. It was already getting dark out, and I have no car, and there isn't much to be had in the vicinity. Some of the other folks we met in the meeting were having their own go at Dayton (Have you seen all the sights Dayton has to offer!? Hahahahah, just kidding, not possible!) Yep, the locals are real riots.
So I have two more full days here. Does Dayton have ANY redeeming qualities? Even if it does, will I get the chance to see them? I have been hearing the ONLY thing is the Air Force Museum, which does sound kind of neat, though I don't generally go for museums. If I get the chance....it may be our only hope.
I gotta be up at the crack of dawn tomorrow for work-related purposes. A work-related dinner is going to follow in the evening. Lets hope its not deep-fried pretzels.
Cheers.
