Contest Entry

I used to eat at Whataburger all the time when I lived in Texas.

Since this is a contest entry, I am just submitting the first ad. (If that's not okay, I will pull this as an entry.) In the second ad, they finish his sentences, which is not cool.

Mel Tillis is a country singer and has been in some movies.

fun thing about mel tillis is that he does not stutter when he sings. :) that's a normal fact in most people with stammers! (it's also how i got trained out of it...)

i got to eat at the ORIGINAL whataburger once. that was a cool factoid of my life. *G*

right before i left florida, they opened up 3 whataburgers in jacksonville. i was GLAD to get a chocolate malt done RIGHT again!

my daughter, granddaughter, and my ex husband are back in jacksonville now...and i miss them terribly. :/ they were in lousiana, about 7 hours from where i live in houston.

and i SO get you about 95 (lived in jax for 15 years...) and trust me, the traffic here in houston is JUST as bad. I-10, I-45, I-59, the 610 loop around houston, beltway 8 which is a toll road that makes a *larger* loop around houston, and several other toll roads and texas highways...all converging on houston.

what is COOL is knowing that most of the highways coming into houston? actually follow the train tracks that lead into the port of houston. that's really a neat thing to know. (plus going over to the port of galveston, and the train bridge is a drawbridge. that always fascinated me when i was a kid.)
