400 & $0.50
Today (e:Terry), (e:Paul) and I had lunch at Empire Grill on Hertel. Cool Place. Tasty Meal. Interesting & yet odd Retro Robot Movies showing on the flat screen courtesy of TMC. It was a beautiful day all in all. Then the bill comes...

They charge $0.50 for take out boxes! What's that about??? Once upon a long time ago, I saw something similar to this when I ate at the Little White House in Williamsville. They used to charge $0.50 for hot tap water. Not bottled, tap.

That is so weird. I have never seen that sort of thing even in DC where they charge you for anything and everything.

Now everyone feels overly stuffed and slightly sick. We have 8pm reservations for another meal at one of my fav Buffalo places.


This sucks that this is my 400th Journal. whatevs.

In the Czech Republic they charged the equivalent of about $.03 for a plastic bag at the grocery store. It seems like a good way to reduce waste anyway, Wegmans has this nasty habit of giving me 3 bags for 5 items.

I need brunch
I am in need of some warm, wholesome, morsels served right about now, with intent of internal consumption.

Must not appear like 4 month old bread left on top of the fridge.

So (e:lilho) and I arrived timely last night and Buffalo welcomed us with open arms and gloomy, dark clouds!

But who lets scary storm clouds rain on their parade anymore? You celebrate regardless.

The Lady in White was spotted promptly upon our arrival as she strolled down Allen Street. She is picture shy. I don't blame her. It probably wasn't nice of me to point my camera at her as if she were an oddity.
Although I see her more like a fixture, like the Washington Monument or something but on a smaller, Buffalo scale. Regardless, she is just being her own person in a city that loves her : )

It's nice to see everyone again, (e:mike), (e:paul), (e:matt), (e:terry), (e:tina) & Jeremy, and (e:brit).

More shenanigans to follow...

Happy Birthday to me and Happy Birthday to (e:Tina)!
