The blind storeCategory: work
At work there is a convenience store in the building next door. It's manned by a guy who is completely blind.
I went with Paul yesterday and today for snacks. He knows (or at least I think he does) every price on every item in the store, but you have to tell him what you are buying. You also have to tell him how much money you give him which seems like a gaping hole for scammers, which he puts into a talking cash register.
I want to ask him how he ended up this job but that's probably not PC. Its so strange if its a program match up the visually impaired as cashiers.

Wow, that's awesome. I've never heard of that.
I guess if he runs the entire operation it makes sense that he would know all the prices too.

SemisCategory: ideas
The competition kind.
As of yesterday, the 43 North submission ("Docugen") that (e:terry), (e:heidi), (e:yesthatcasey), (e:paul) and I are on together is a semifinalist.
There's a single million buck prize, 6 $500,000 and 4 $250,000. And one of them has to go to a Buffalo idea, which there are about 30 of. It definitely could happen. It's so freaking awesome I can't believe it.
The downside is the second application is due August 15th, and the presentations would be in October. It's summer and we're all supes busy. But how can you pass this opportunity up?
Even if we don't win I think that it made it to the top 100 is a pretty good indication it's a viable idea. Look at us, all entrepreneurial and shiz.
As of yesterday, the 43 North submission ("Docugen") that (e:terry), (e:heidi), (e:yesthatcasey), (e:paul) and I are on together is a semifinalist.
We started with 6,932 applications from 96 countries and all 50 U.S. states.
That got boiled down to 2,603 qualified submissions.
Now, we're excited to announce our 113 semifinalists!

That's really cool. I glossed over the nitty-gritties so you are going to have to explain in detail... when you WIN! :-)

Who wears short shorts?Category: swimming
After the taste of Buffalo, (e:Paul) got to show off his new Provincetown shorts.
It was a really amazing day for biking over for swimming. The water has warmed up a lot and is so clean compared to the lake. You're now allowed to swim until 9. I'm really surprised its not more popular.
We may have found a even more deserted quarry to swim in
Paul freaking out about this mole on his head

My question is did you incite him by telling him about it. There is no way Paul could have seen it on his own! Admit it!

Taste of BuffaloCategory: food
The taste of Buffalo was delicious as usual. Some of the things I tasted a paneer zucchini kebab from an all white Indian restaurant, a strawberry crepe from Orazio's, a mushroom Gorgonzola cheese risotto ball from Bambino and a kale salad from Merge. I felt full but not as full as the meat eaters did. (E:yesthatcasey) wanted to be rolled home. Paul got three servings of short ribs. We all got plenty of samples.
I didn't manage to get pictures of the food somehow but I did get a glimpse of a ginger mormon.
