This past week the wifester and I hit up many of the same spots we usually go, and a few newish ones. As mentioned before we've now gone to Andy Chang's a couple more times where we continue to get good food and no OC issues. Although we usually go to the La Caretta on Wards Ferry Rd, we've taken to going to the new one on Timberlake where we've had no issues with OC either. Of course many of our regular spots like Texas Roadhouse, Vinny's, Robin-Alexander, La Taqueria Mexican Grill, Monte Carlo Italian, Blue Orchid Thai and others remain friendly with good foods.
This weekend we again went down to Homestead Creamery and had lunch. After leaving there we dropped by Lowe's in Rocky Mount to see what different selection it had versus our local stores. While there we chit chatted a bit about carry guns with one of the guys in outdoor tools. The guy normally carried a Glock, but wanted my opinion on Kahrs seeing that's what I usually carry. We left Lowe's and then headed on down to Roanoke where we ended up having dinner at Longhorn Steakhouse, where we ran into a gal who used to take care of us at Vinny's in Lynchburg. She was glad to see us since she had some firearm and carrying questions and wanted more info on carrying openly. She apparently has a revolver she wants to carry, but needed some more information and had no desire to get a permit to carry concealed. We happily filled her in and gave her a VCDL carry card and made sure she could reach us again later. Finally we stopped at Target and of course had no issue there either. All in all, a pretty good week and weekend.
