Chik-Fil-A boy

     As the cliche goes like a preschooler in a candy store, same goes with me every time I go to or drive thru Chick-Fil-A. For me their wonderful sauce(the one you see below)--- the chick-fil-A sauce is incomparable(what's your secret Mr.Truett Cathy?)---. The chick-fil-a sauce is the single biggest reason why I always go back to them even if it's chicken everyday or three times a day:). So anyway one late afternoon after work, I hurriedly drove to one of their branches here in Metro Phoenix and ordered a combo meal and told the crew to give some packs of chick-fil-a sauce.

     After getting my order then I quickly parked to the parking area of the next building of another fastfood and I didn't know why I parked there(photo #3)...so that probably the chick-fil-a crews wont see me how I will devour their sauce, I mean their chicken, but to my disappointment there was not a single chick-fil-a sauce.

      So with the outburst, impulse or whatever u call it of my stomach/myself, I rashly went back, I mean went to the drive-thru section of this fastfood below to demand my c-f-a sauce from the speaker phone then drive all the way to the window to get my CFA sauce and adding disappointments to my disappointment the conversation most likely occurred like this:

Me: You forgot to put some chick-fil-a sauce!
Mc crew: what? cheap sauce?
Me:chick-fil-a sauce!
Mc crew: fish sauce?
Me:chick-fil-a sauce!
Mc crew:chippyfislss sauce? we don't hav it here
Me: Chick-Fil-A sauce(voice is already elevated)
Mc crew: sorry we dont have ir here
Me:(fuming mad) what store is this?
Mc crew: this is McDonalds
Me: Oh sorry, I thought I'm in a Chick fil-A (but I accelerated as fast as i can and I dont want that crew to remember my face).

     Moral Lesson........gluttony is gluttony no matter what. Dont ever let ur tummy's desire overcome ur senses even if it's the wonderful Chick-Fil-A sauce.

Fool Hollow Lake Camground, Show Low, AZ

   This campground has been our most favorite campground since our first camping trip here back in 2007(?) were also the last days of using our camping tents because the following camping trips where on RV's/trailers. The campground boasts a clean environment and facilities with tall pine trees surrounding most all sites. The shower and restrooms are so well-maintained and always in spick and span. The lake...oh so beautiful- so calm and quiet, and very clean too where I had my first open water swim in America. It's where also we had our first catch of 3 big(actually only two because the first one able to escape) catfishes-bigger than my arm.
   The campground  looks and feels like so away from the hustle and bustle of cities yet in just a couple of miles you can be in downtown of Show Low and shop in Kmart or Safeway and get a latte at Starbucks.
   It is where also I found out later on that they do the "Deuces Wild Triathlon Festival"- a two-day event of triathlon and fun around the first or 2nd weekend of June. As a triathlete, it excites me more to keep coming back to this amazing place and train on its lake and its terrain for mountain bike and trail running. Though I still have to sign up in one of their triathlon events and I'm eyeing the off-road triathlon race where the biking is on the mountain and triathletes use MTB bikes. Can't wait for this race to join.
   Overall I'll rate this campground at 9.5 out of 10.
