Team Ragin' RayRae Ryder czechin in!

Team Ragin' RayRae Ryder's here.  Finally finding time to report after a week of one day sales.

Does leaving your books outside overnight count as a square? They were covered in tarps and barricaded by tables and the blue elephant cart. Crazy enough to work in all that rain.

Frat dudes buying snuggles?  First hour first sale.

We got rained out on Thursday and met identical twins the same day. I told them they looked alike. One seemed like they wanted to gouge my eyes out.

We also stopped by Greasy Creek to take a dip. We would've skinny dipped but a busload of mentally challenged children showed up on the rock we wanted to free ball jump from.

Biggest challenge yet:  getting half our laundry stolen straight from the hotel laundry machine.  Thief, if you're reading this, you know you can't wear all that as well as we can but we kinda hope you trip on it and fall into a crevass.

Of course finding good food is a huge challenge (we hope you know this but don't eat at hooters. one moment of sleep deprived decision making can easily hold "dire" consequence.).  A hearty shout out to yelp and happycow.net, both vital resources.  Our faves so far: Chattanooga has Sluggo's, (do not pass it by without a stop, you won't regret it) and South Atlanta has an amazing taqueria. Huaraches and gorditas straight from the streets of Oaxaca! Salsa bar with tons of different salsa's!  And you can also watch telenovelas.  Very entertaining after no sleep and all posters.  Now that we're staying in one city for a week we have our own kitchen.  Extended stay hotels are the best.


Does a helper team count as the meet up with another team square?  We had one of the Czech teams working with us all week.  There was a pool table conveniently located right next to our register so we had to challenge them.  USA wins!  But we could not keep up with their czech style beer consumption.  Also, the cricket that lives in our truck is named "svrchyk" thanks to them.  Now that we have a mascot I suppose we should feed it a potato.



TEAM RRRR'S OUT!

  1. I paid $16.20 today for 1.8 lbs of organic salad bar at some Whole Foods-clone store.

    Well worth it, probably the only organic food I have eaten this trip besides the 10 for $10 organic yogurts at the Valdosta, GA Winn-Dixie.

    Damn I miss Valdosta (and Charleston).
