Vote in my Poll!

Ok yesterday I put up a new poll to ask everyone to vote what picture series I will do next. No votes so far. Either the categories are lame, which is possible or no one cares. So either vote or leave me a comment with a new category that you would like to see pictures of.

Thanks!

A new random post!

It has finally cooled down in the weather around here in Charlotte. Now cooled down here means the high is 72 and the low is 60. Believe me it feels great. I like the warm weather but I am ready for a nice change into Fall.


The Charlotte area was not affected by Hurricane Ike, except gas wise. The word is that the gas here is transported from Texas, near where Ike hit. Before the hurricane hit, people were panicking to get gas before it ran out. So guess what happened? The gas ran out. Even over a week later after Ike damaged Texas, there are still some gas stations here that are not selling gas. Some are selling it for $3.85 and some are selling it for $4.19. Very random. The more I attempt to learn about gas and how it is manufactured and transported, the more I realize I have no idea about it.


Last week was an exciting time at work. I was able to take photos in the operating room at a hospital with one of the doctor's I work with. Most of you know I love the gore and I had a great time watching 2 eye surgeries. I had a hard time not yelling, "That is the coolest thing I have ever seen." But I kept my excitement to myself until the operations were over. I hope to do it again in the future. I'd include a photo from it but I'm pretty sure I signed a huge waiver at the hospital about patients privacy and what I see during my visit there. Also, I don't want to gross everyone out. A lot of people are very wigged out by eyeballs being touched, injected, frozen, etc. (Even people that I work with)

"Ice Custard Happiness"

There are only a few things I miss about living in Philadephia. 7-11, cheese steaks and Rita's water ice. Everywhere in the world thinks they can make a philly cheese steak, but alas, they cannot. There are no 7-11's in the Carolina's, so I sadly have to get my slurpee fix when I come to Utah to visit. But they just opened a Rita's Water Ice in Charlotte! Yeah! Ice custard happiness, I do now have. Now if you are thinking water ice doesn't sound all that great, you are wrong Colonel Sanders. It is such a delicious treat! They have amazing flavors of italian ice and custard treats to delight. My favorite is the Gelati. It is layers of italian ice and creamy frozen custard.

If you find yourself out on the East coast be sure to see if there is a Rita's nearby. It is a delicious treat you will never forget.
