Yeah I'd have to talk to someone from South Austin to really know the details of its origin, and I generally try to avoid talking to people from South Austin.  Strange folk, not right in the head.

He's not being a north austin snob.....it's true.  Gotta go at least as far south as Buda to get to normal people again.

When I was in high school I DID have the pleasure of dating a VERY hot South Austin girl.  She went to Crockett, I went to Anderson.  Different worlds for sure, but she was in theater and saw me perform in our UIL One-Act Play, where I won the award for Best Actor at the city-wide competition.  She dug my chili and had a friend of hers who knew some friends of mine, track me down.  We dated for a couple of months before she graduated and went on to college at North Texas State.  Those were some very good times.

So I guess I'm cool with SOME things about South Austin, but in general, best to keep your distance.

Waffle House started near where I grew up apparently, my wife doesn't like them either.
My last assignment in the Army was as an instructor in the Combat Studies Institute at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College, Fort Leavenworth, KS.
My sub-specialty within CSI was being on the Staff Ride Team.
A staff ride is like a 10G battlefield tour. The students/participants have to read some required materials in advance, and they get assigned to particularly read up on one or more of the key leaders. We developed and conducted staff rides from Bastogne (IIRC) to Attu Island. I didn't participate in the one in Europe (it took place while I was on terminal leave), but I did help develop and conduct the one for Attu.
Attu did not have a Waffle House. It had a U.S. Coast Guard LORAN station (manned by 13 Coasties, IIRC) and an uncontrolled airstrip.
But just about all the Civil War staff ride sites were near Waffle Houses.
We--the Staff Ride Team--always stayed at a Hampton Inn, and whenever possible we ate breakfast at a Waffle House.
Waffle House is not bad. It's a tasty way to start your day with an injection of grease, butter, and caffeine.

Is that just a GA thing?  I noted the similarities when I lived there as a teen.  And perhaps differences that I don't remember.

They are around the SE and to be avoided.  They are worse than Denny's.

Speaking of Airstream trailers, here's a bit about how they came to be
here's a bit about how they came to be. It's part of a 5-part BBC series called "The Genius of Design."

I'm not sure I agree with the conclusions made about the designed world, but that was an interesting blurb on the Airstream.  I have a half-dozen books about the origins of the Airstream, its vintage kin, travel trailers in general, and the RV life as a whole.  It's all a little bit fascinating to me.

When the kids are off to college, my i s c & a aggie wife wants to sell our house in the burbs and buy a Class A motorcoach, and tour the country in it.  Probably grab some remote land somewhere with a downsized house on it to use as a home base, but for the most part, full-time it in the RV.  I could probably do that, for a few years anyway.

I've thought about going mobile to avoid the tax man after retiring

I suppose I could park in an Austin Walmart lot for a few nights a year

You could be like BJ McKay.  But you'd obviously need a pet monkey named Bear.

Not sure that bit is negotiable.  You'll have to ask the network execs.
