Dear Publix Bagger Boy
I love you.
I was watching you as you bagged my groceries. I watched you separate and combine like with like. I saw you push the pork to the side and keep it there until it was the right time to put it in the cart. I watched you delicately place the eggs [...]

Cool map thingie
This is way cool: http://www.webdevref.com/wjr/. It’s a web app that works with google maps to measure distances. It’s billed as a running/jogging/exercise thing, but some of us actually walk to get to places, and its useful for us too.
You can zoom in and get pretty exact. My walk to work is 1.18 [...]

Lesson Learned
During my recent trip to Oklahoma, I witnessed the Enid Motorcycle Olympics. With such events like “Who Can Go the Slowest?” and “Smoke Out,” the EMO’s provided an interesting look on modern soceity in Enid, Okla.
In “Who Can Go the Slowest,” two bikes wobbled their way for about 50 yards as slow as they could [...]

Democracy grows out of the barrel of a gun.
I love love love the social realist style of Soviet propoganda, so I think this was made just for me:

About Atlanta, a rant, nothing new, please move on
I was going to post this on Metroblogs, but I decided maybe I shouldn’t drag my fellow bloggers there into a feud with Joy Johnston.
When I first moved here and was looking for information about the city, the Atlanta “blog” from about.com worked its way into my rss reader.
Perhaps its bad form to [...]

It’s a shame to move Pac-Man down
But I have to.
Apparently one of my posts over at Atlanta Metblogs pissed off a local Boy Scout troop leader. Steve Barton, of Troop 764 in Dunwoody, to be exact.
I bashed the Boy Scouts of America for discriminating against homosexuals and for a recent scandal here in Atlanta in which they inflated their statistics [...]

Karl Rove’s Plumbing Service
That’s right. The Tuesday update is all about trivia. Leslie and I went by ourselves. Everyone else crapped out. We weren’t sure if we should stay at first, and did pretty poorly at first. In the end, however, our 2-person team in a field of nine teams finished in 3rd [...]
