We certainly don’t mean to drag this on, however, we are still waiting for some additional publishing information to finalize for the release of the new album.  Everything is ready to go once this last piece is put into place. Thanks for your patience. No need to send frustrated email inquiries as to our previous failed drop dates. We’ll make sure you have it when it’s ready. Trust us, we’re not sitting on some warehouse full of “Just One Of Those Days” stockpiles. It will be worth the wait.

 

I don’t know how Jared did it (Jared of Subway fame, not of TSF renown).  When trying to eat healthy on the road – and when away from metropolitan areas -  there are not many choices other than the ubiquitous Subway restaurant.

Originally we tried to bring coolers on our trips across America, but Mark found out that bananas don’t keep well in a black van with an inside temperature of 152 degrees in July (or in – 40 degree temperatures in a South Dakota winter).

Needless to say, we are back to melts, meatballs and teriyaki chicken.   And although I don’t have anything against Subway… other than the bright dentist yellow hue…. or their ability to toast your sub’s bread into a crouton-like state…. I do wish that another chain would take a chance on towns where teenagers “scoop the loop” on a lazy Friday night.

Lost at this point?  That’s cause you are probably from Seattle.  Do people drive around in circles out there for fun?

So here’s to all of the road warriors (and construction workers) we meet in Subway.  And the next time a bespectacled guy with dark, spiky hair asks you to join in singing “Happy Birthday” to a tall, lanky guy with a deep voice (while you are waiting in line for your $5 foot long), just join in.  It’s fun.

 

Unfortunately, we botched part 2 of our “Out of Gas” episodes. Luckily, it was the least interesting, and had the most objectionable language of all the episodes. As we get more practice with the vlog concept, they will hopefully continue to get better. One footnote that you might have missed from the first installment, was our run-in with the highway patrol. We thought it best not to film the confrontation.
