Caddo Mills

Greetings from Caddo Mills - a town that's even smaller than it sounds!

After a healthy lunch at Waffle House (or the Wa Ho as it's affectionately known) we made the hour and a half drive from Waxahachie.

We're set up here at the Caddo Mills KOA campground and we'll be around for two more nights.

I'm really settling into my Born Free now and still loving it. It's got more storage than I need and plenty of livable space. There is one thing that's really bothering me though. It's got this nice little microwave made by Contoure. You may be thinking, "what's not to like? That's a handsome little microwave/convection oven. It fits the the space well and you could fit a whole chicken in there ... probably two if you wanted to. You  know, maybe if you were entertaining some neighbors at a campground and you wanted to have plenty of chicken in case they forgot to bring a side. Seriously, though, who doesn't bring a side? That's just common courtesy. But maybe they don't have any coleslaw or potato salad and they just bring a bag of chips. I guess that's technically a side, but it's not very filling is it? Better bake two chickens just in case ..."

You're a bit off topic, but you're right. Look closer, though ... See anything wrong with this picture? That's right! The Stop/Clear button is green and the Start button is red! Does anyone at Contoure notice this? ! I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!

I feel like it's pretty well accepted in the western hemisphere (and most of western Europe) that when you're driving, a red light means "stop" and a green light means "go!" Not only that, whip that cellphone out of your pocket and take a look at the buttons ... the green one begins a call and the red one ends a call! Someone on Contoure's product design team should be nervous about their job ...

Good news! I've got my Wii all hooked up and this campground has wifi so I was able to download netflix! Unfortunately, the wifi isn't super fast so after about 10 minutes of buffering I can only watch about 5 minutes of a movie. I don't know if this is entirely the internet's fault though ... the Wii does always seem a touch sluggish online ... It was a good call to make netflix downloadable, though - having to pop a disc in every time was a bit silly.
