Cockroaches

Forenoon watch, 6 bells (11:28 am)

I saw a cockroach early this morning at the motel we’re staying in, and it was tiny. The cockroaches here are certainly not bigger in Texas. The ones I saw in Taiwan were way bigger.

Waffle House

Afternoon watch, 7 bells (3:34 pm)

We went to the Waffle House this morning (mainly out of nostalgia from watching Dead Like Me), it wasn’t very good, although the service was quick. They only had two types of waffles, but you could add chocolate chips if you wanted. The hash browns were pretty decent. The booth was so small I had to pick my plate up to eat off it with my wife sitting next to me, there wasn’t enough elbow room for two people in their booths. They are most certainly not bigger in Texas.

Not Bigger in Texas

Afternoon watch, 4 bells (2:03 pm)

I had an epiphany today, each day I’m going to try to post about something that isn’t bigger in Texas. Today, in the EHB grocery store, we bought egg nog. We bought 4 half-gallon containers because they don’t have gallon containers like they do back home. So egg nog is not bigger in Texas.
