I love getting my hair cut by a barber but I feel like it's kind of a waste. I don't have to much hair but a 1.5 on the top and a 1 on the sides usually does the trick. I used to "bic" my head in college which was always a nice feeling. Everyone told me I looked mean though.

"Mary"land Part Three etc. etc. etc.We finished up our journey yesterday. I can't remember the last time we just drove to where ever we wanted and had very little planned. I think for us that works out the best.
Thursday we went to Baltimore and spent time in the inner harbor. We were able to slip into the aquarium before they closed and it was very cool.
We stopped at Phillip's express to get a snack and it was alright. I got some fried crab to hold me over until dinner time. I did end up getting shit on by a bird while sitting by the harbor. It happened so fast and I didn't really know what happened at first. The majority of it hit the right lens of my glasses and luckily I was able to close my eye fast enough. Very little got on my pants and sleve. I was still able to wear them the rest of the night. However, I did feel all gross and just wanted to take a shower. My wife said it's good luck...frankly I think it sucked.
We met my uncle Don and his girlfriend (Bev) for dinner at The Rusty Scupper. I had a broiled seafood dish that included blue crab. It was excellent and tasted so fresh.
D.C. was our next stop. We had been there a few times before but it is always fun to walk around and see everything.
This trip we were able to see the new WWII memorial. The layout was very well done. They seemed to touch on so much and I am very happy to see they finally have something honoring this war.
I wish I could get a hold of some of this grass. Sounds like it would do the trick in my backyard.
Our hotel was in Arlington just on the other side of they Key Bridge. It is named after Francis Scott Key who wrote the Star Spangled Banner.
Next we drove up to Pottsville and hit the outlets before heading to my cousins for the night. Apparently they have a nuclear power plant near there. I had never been this close to one before...that I know of.
We had our first home cooked meal of the week with some of my family in Doylestown, PA.
The drive home was uneventful except for some traffic that delayed our arrival by an hour. I tried to get a picture of the bugs on the windshield. I hate bugs on the windshield!

The inner harbour is a good time. The water is only a small part of it. It's the retail & other development that surrounds it. Phillips is alright, a bit overpriced but descent. It's only when Buffalo's waterfront stops being an industrial wasteland & develops all the good commercial attractions will it be taken seriously.
From the looks of it, things may be picking up soon, :::link:::

(e:imk2) was telling me just the other day that the Baltimore harbour is prettier than the one here. I see why, looking at your pics. But I would still argue that the Buffalo harbour has its own icy little charm and the "coolness factor" at being able to look across at another *country's* shores!

My aunt told me this story once about hiking in Niagara in the Gorge and her friend looked up a t the birds and it shit in her eye, before it closed. Sometimes, glasses are a blessing.
I am so jealous of your seafood exploits. I love crab.

Man. The last time I got shit on by a bird it was at a Bills game. Moulds jersey needed to be retired anyway, and I thought it was an omen. Bought McGahee that day.....un-friggin-lucky.

"Mary"land Part TwoToday is another day in Maryland. We went out exploring today and found our self at Joe's Crab Shack. I can't believe how many locations they have all over the world. The food was pretty good. We started off with the Crab Dip for an appy and I ordered the crab stuffed shrimp.
After that we walked around and ended up going into a Target for something. I noticed right away they had an escalator in the store. This was not just any normal escalator though. This would take you up to the second floor along with your CART!! Yeah that's right I said your cart. In the middle of the up/down sides was an up/down lane for carts as well. It is all open so you can watch your purse or whatever you have in there and you reach the top at the same time. It was the coolest thing I have seen in a while.
Again I will reiterate what I said yesterday.....I need a camera phone. I might even just drive back there before we leave so I can take a picture with my digital camera.

Yeah, the first place I ever saw cart-escalators was in a big Walmart-like store in Taiwan.
I feel like I live in a big city now, because we've got a grocery store here (downtown Ft. Lauderdale) that has one of 'em.

When (e:terry) and I lived in Germany, the Walmart in our little German town had those escalators.

The Target in a Philadelphia suburb was two stories and had the same feature. I used to grab a cart even though I didn't need it just to go up and down the escalator with it... over...and over...and over...

Ha thanks for pointing that out. I have been thinking more about cutting down on carbs. Maybe it's trying to take of my mind.

"Mary"landToday my wife (Mary) and I drove down to Maryland for a college fair. She works for Buffalo State as an Admissions Counselor. We decided to make a week of it and go to DC and Philly to see some of our relatives. So far we got down here alright but I have realized two things. One I need a camera phone and the Verizon Curve can not come fast enough. Two I am not a big fan of MD so far. I have been her a few times but not to stay for 2 nights. Just seems to go go go for me. Maybe it's because we drove 7 hours down and I just wanted to get out of car. Hopefully tomorrow will be a little better.

Guinness Book of what???Tonight I had a cup of coffee at 8PM which is a big mistake. I usually only have it in the morning but tonight I just felt like a cup so I had one. I ended up going to the Guinness Book of World Records site just to look up something. I used to be a big fan of this book as a kid and usually got it every year for Christmas. There is a little intro and then something caught my eye. That's right folks....Gamers Edition!!!
Most of them seem a little lame but I am sure there are more in the book then on the site. Why would you buy the book if that were not the case. Maybe we can come up with something for (e:jon) to win.

I feel old and devious. Thanks Fing. =P
Nevermind, those girls use the word "like" as punctuation when speaking. I hate that.

Hmm...
I might be a top runner in highest percentage time wasted in front of a computer. Or maybe person who attended most LAN Parties in his 30s. Also, I think I should get double points for frag'n anyone 1/2 my age. Or maybe I'd win the most times anyone has said "just 5 more minutes" to their spouce.

I can't imagine you looking mean, you smile too much.
I have been trying for ages to look mean. I always get mistaken for a 15 year old instead. Maybe bic-ing it is the way to go... Hmmmm...
