Well, my kid lives there now and wants me to visit someday soonish. 

I feel sorry for him.  Only a matter of time before he loses his kidneys.

I hate beets

always have and always will

I'm okay with beets, but I loathe pickles.  Well, actually, I loathe all forms of cucumber. Pickled or not.

I do love the chevre cheese.

We went for a walk, it was 90°F and not too bad, breeze going, shade.  My wife had to go to FedEx for something, they had the AC set to freezer temperatures, I stopped at the library, same thing.  As we neared the library it started to rain, not much, but enough to get humidity into the 1000% range it seemed.  The walk back was uncomfortable.

Humidity is not fun.  I remember pitching in this heat back before the coaches would let us drink water, really, no water.  I'm sort of amazed we didn't die.

Take it Mr N's goofy posting thread.

Yaaaasssss

Now you're starting to get it...

it's a place to see and be seen.

Ain't got no time for that

but, I'm an old dirt farmer

Sure, sometimes they are excellent, but some are not.  It torques my shorts.  We tried a steakhouse that is locally famous called "Bones" and it was packed on a Tuesday night.  Was the steak epic?  No, it was fine, mine was actually over cooked a bit.  It was expensive though, the server was a bit snooty I thought as if we didn't really belong.

Maybe it's not fair, we can all make great steak at home of course.  I wanted to try it once.

We had lunch at a "French bistro" yesterday someone recommended.  It was, well, "OK".  I guess.  And crowded.  My wife was not amused.  She ordered saumon carpaccio and was served smoked salmon.  Come on.  She said it was fine, we didn't complain, but it was not carpaccio.

Overall I'm struggling with the food scene here though we have found some good places of course.
