I normally have a lot of energy. On Saturday, I did a road trip from Bloomington, MN to Des Moines, IA.
I'd say between Rochester, MN and Dows, IA, I felt sleepy. It was odd. I had a decent amount of sleep the night before. I was rested. I had breakfast and was hydrated. I felt like a nap.
When I saw Dows Junction, it was the perfect place to pull over. I needed to fill up my rental car with gas. After that, I decided to get a quick bite to eat at the Arby's that's a part of Dows Junction.
There was a drive-thru. I tried it out.
I had the nicest, personable man take my order. The two beef and cheddar sandwiches for $7 caught my attention. I love the onions on top of the bun, so I knew that I had to have it.
Arby's still has happy hours from 2 pm to 5 pm. I was here for these hours, but my heart wanted the beef and cheddar sandwiches.
I got to the pickup window and handed the man my credit card. The transaction went smoothly.
I promptly got my food. I thanked the man. He wished me a good day. I reciprocated and left.
I drove over to a parking spot and chowed down on one sandwich. The roast beef was yummy. It's what you'd expect at an Arby's. The cheddar was oozing out a bit, but not to the point where eating this sandwich was super messy. The bun was yummy, especially with the onions on top.
After eating the first sandwich without getting it all over me, I decided to eat the second one as I continued driving down. I was definitely more alert. I needed food.
I figure that I needed a nap because I had an unexpected nose bleed the day before. It probably threw my system off and I simply needed food this day to rebalance everything.
I had a great experience here. I'm thankful that I got to fuel my car and me with the BP and Arby's, respectively, located steps away from each other.
