While working at NCR E&M-Columbia1, it was a Friday tradition that Customer Support would meet at the Hooters2 on Broad River Road for Happy Hour.

I have eaten at Hooters Restaurants in the following states: Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Minnesota, North Carolina, Ohio, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia

Working in the landlocked state of Iowa, I wanted some raw oysters. When I passed by the Red Lobster in Cedar Rapids, the line was always out the door. But I remembered that the one in Cayce, South Carolina, quit serving raw oysters. I logged into CompuServe, and found that Des Moines had a Hooters. While in Cedar Rapids, I wanted to visit The Mall of America, so I drove my van up there with a few fellow contractors. One of the crazier things that I did was drive to Omaha for lunch, and then drive to Kansas City for dinner. I tried to find a motel to rest a night, but there were no vacancies; I ended up having to drive back to Cedar Rapids putting 900 miles on the van that weekend.
