Behind the new, former casino

We walked from out house at Linwood and North to Dug's Dive on the Lake. I really walk anywhere for clams. These pictures are from right behind what was to be the new casino.

I had never really walked this way before but its pretty doable. We had to go on down to Ohio st to go over the Buffalo river. I wish they had a bridge at Michigan St.

The yummy lucky charms smell from the General Mills factory is so overwhelming at this close proximity. You could actually taste it in the air.

I know that I have seen some of the shirts at festivals , now that I think about it I don't think they had that shirt at the fair, I saw the Bret Hull is a cheater, I thought they did have that shirt when they where at Allentown West. To be honest it is tough to keep the Buffalo shirt places stright with there being a few of them.......

paul writes at 10:52:01 08/22/10 - Comment #57967: They are all sold out of that shirt. I asked the last time I was there. Then again that was when the plae was where the oil an vinegar store is now. I wonder if the t-shirt place moved somewhere else or if it closed?

metalpeter writes at 09:48:00 08/22/10 - Comment #57958: I kinda miss sitting at the counter thing, sitting at the bar on a stool isn't the same, two places that come to mind quickly are Your Host and Wolworth's. I wasn't around when there where sit ins there but when I was a kid I did eat at one at least once (Grant St. Location I think) and yes you could buy birds and fish in there (no where near the food), think I also ate at the one downtown.

@ (e:Tinypliny) one of the T-shirt companies that make Buffalo shirts does have a shirt that says something along the lines of "my city smells like Cherios" ........

heidi writes at 09:35:32 08/21/10 - Comment #57950: It's old style - the grill is farther down with the silver hood. You can see the handle of the french fry basket.

tinypliny writes at 09:30:45 08/21/10 - Comment #57947: I dig it when everything smells like cheerios at random times! Can people go on a GE mills tour to see the production process? I would really like to do that. Any idea whom I can contact to ask about this? Has anyone ever heard of GE Mills tours?

And why abandon such a cool kitchen - it was in a gas station??! That is odd. Usually gas stations have uncool crammed corner-snack shops.

metalpeter writes at 08:14:21 08/21/10 - Comment #57942: like the stools but like where is the Kitchen ?

Is this from a year ago?

Or is someone just really bad with dates. There is no Friday, August 21, right?

Dear Church of the Ascension 2

Why can't these stupid fucks park like normal people. You cannot expand your driveway into a parking lot without going through the proper channels. Especially when you are using my driveway to make it possible. It just looks looks so trashy with cars parked on the lawn.

The people parking can't even figure out how to maximize the space they have. Like how is the black car going to get out.

Here you get to find out how.

If you really don't think parking on the grass is an issue, why don't you park on your giant parking lot on North Street?

Another one just did the same thing, but even worse. When we had multiple cars we would just move so the other person could get out. Instead, they do this.

Three more windows complete

Finally completed the left three windows. Only twelve more to go. (e:terry) is now talking about hiring someone to do the tops. I am torn between wanting to ride the cherry picker and not wanting to do any more work.

Its really coming around. In one more year I think the outside might be done.

Well, minus a new brick driveway and wall blocking off the church.

chilled watermelon soup

(e:samathon86) got this for lunch at Fiddleheads in Allen yesterday. It consists of chilled pureed watermelon, heavy cream and some sort of frozen fruit ball. He said it was real yummy.

More than one kind of th*r

if theyre illegal, there illegal, let them try to become citizens or kick their buts out. (in comments on )

It's so weird to get it almost right and then totally wrong in such close proximity.

ipad, meet my world

At my work they are talking about getting ipads locked down to citrix running IE only. The freaking piece of crap software does even have touch to type text area capability. That and it force quits all the time.

If we can't have ipads in their native form because of security risks, then why use them at all.

The whole situation is so sad. They might as well also buy ipads to use as cafeteria trays. It would honestly be just as useful. Having an technology is not useful if you cannot use it as intended.

Its like buying people ferraris and then making those people them push them. by hand or pull them by horse to get around campus.

paul writes at 06:22:31 08/20/10 - Comment #57923: Ya, but chrome won't work for things like EMR or etime.

tinypliny writes at 04:06:00 08/20/10 - Comment #57922: That is why I use *cough*chrome*cough* and have stealthily converted 80% of my sizeable office. :-)

paul writes at 01:33:32 08/20/10 - Comment #57921: Ya the problem is lots of the hospital software only runs on IE because the people that programmed them didn't plan for the eventual end of IE domination. Its really a sad state because it forces us to have to program everything against ancient IE. We can't even upgrade to IE8 because of the situation.

metalpeter writes at 01:08:16 08/20/10 - Comment #57918: Here is the thing, I don't know much about computers but even I know that when going with an ipad why don't you use the broswer made by the same company like Safari? How do I know that when I don't have an apple product? You get it from using itunes.... This is just practal knowledge not even common sense or knowing of computers. It would be like if you bought a GM car but said "We are pulling out onstar and adding this service that BMW uses to check on its cars".

carolinian writes at 09:34:02 08/19/10 - Comment #57900: Because, like, IE is known for being a draconian heavily locked down system that will disallow any feature with even the most remote chance of exploitability and the iPad is known for being ridiculously insecure and having 15 years of exploits. It all makes perfect sense!

Seriously, who's in charge of Roswell computer security? A Chimp?

paul writes at 08:58:51 08/18/10 - Comment #57895: Just click on the directory link on the internal site. It will replace the internal site altogether very soon.

libertad writes at 08:07:09 08/18/10 - Comment #57891: I got to see your work when I did the evaluation and signature process. It's funny how hard it is to make a signature with a mouse but it still is almost unmistakeably mine. The weird thing is that I don't know how to get to the part that you can look up other people like you showed me. It doesn't seem linked to the internal home page?

I love my chissel

I never realized how much I would need chisselw. Thank goodness I bought like 10 of them during the last few years. I haven't had a change to use the round ones yet.
