Yes, whenever a "hot story" takes place in a Waffle House, you know you're in Kentucky. Also, whenever the top story is a "local peasant" being bitten by a snake, it's either a ridiculously slow news day, or also, in Kentucky. Especially when they interview Leonard Fitch's cat, Sparky, who also was bitten.

While it may be an immediate signal that you are in Kentucky, or south Georgia for that matter, you would be truly suprised of the drama that can arise at a Waffle House. As what I would call somewhat of a Waffle House Addict, I have seen things that would blow your mind.
Men arguing over who's dog has more teeth (they both had 3 teeth among them including the 2 dogs) to the drama of friendly waitresses fighting in the back (true story very funny).

So the moral of the story is; yes, it may be a slow day in the news, but the drama of the Waffle is always there.

This is a tip for those who might run where giant swarms of gnats sometimes loiter by the side of the road. This tip stems from a run on the Mayan Riviera in Mexico, but I've encountered swarms of gnats in Virginia and Kentucky as well. After your run, always stop and look in a mirror before going into public. Otherwise, you might actually complete a transaction at the resort store and greet five people before realizing you have up to 15 gnats stuck to your face and neck.

To get a page to refresh, and not draw from a cache, simply put a good old-fashioned question mark (?) at the end of your URL, and hit "Enter."
