Pomegranate
Category: food
Pomegranate on transit is really yummy. It's the highlight of trips to see clients out in clarence. Super tasty and be sure to get the brown rice. (e:terry) says the chicken is cooked and spiced "professionally marinated" to perfection. The hummus was one of the best we've ever had. I had the pomegranate-walnut stew over brown rice today. Yum. I've had the eggplant delight a couple times and I love it. The eggplant comes with a bit of the stew on it as a sauce.

Inadequate bike rack
Category: biking
I just rode my bike over to Tops & Rite Aid over on Niagara. Rite Aid's bike rack was at least identifiable as a bike rack, but it wasn't securely secured to the ground. Tops' bike rack was insufficient, so I locked my bike to a locked cart. Carlos the Cart Guard (that's what his nametag said) kinda scolded me, so I asked him what I should do next time since the rack was clearly inadequate. He suggested I get a different kind of lock. :-p

I've been trying to increase the amount of biking-as-transportation I do and I've found that bike racks are not evenly distributed around the city. At the First Niagara where we have our business account, we have to use a street sign. The account rep we spoke with said the racks have been stolen in the past and they don't want to keep replacing them. At the Washington Street post office, we use the hand rail. Allentown has lots of bike racks.

Well I can confirm that the First niagara manager did say that the bike rack was stolen, she seemed pretty genuine about it.

Can't believe I'm going to say something nice about the co-op but it is in a good part of town.. So guessing it has a good bike rack... Some how don't think hardly anyone bikes to Tops Niagara... Wonder how long the bike rack has been in bad shape a day or a year.... I worked with this Puerto Rican (know that spelling has to be wrong)Women who said that she doesn't go to Tops Niagara cause there are to Many Puerto Ricans. -->there so I figure well them I'm not going.... Granted that was years ago and it has gone up scale a bit but... I have had a problem there so I don't shop there... But the real reason I don't go is the two other tops are better for how I travel....

I'd call bullshit on that story too.

They stole my recycle bin. Maybe there is a gang of low-level eco-terrorists afoot.

Something is so totally wrong with this bike racks if the racks themselves are getting stolen. I mean who would even steal a bikerack. I almost sounds like a bullshit story. I guess maybe for scrap metal.

Jill & Shane let me have this awesome globe lamp. We've been cleaning out and organizing the office and lots of random things are being tossed or given away. I also scored a four-drawer vertical fling cabinet.

That globe light looks pretty cool....Since you have the skills do to so you should turn out all the lights and take pictures of it! Does it spin? In other words are the same places all ways lit on the map?

Nineteen Buffalo Queer Women went to Spicy Thai last night. I had an excellent basil eggplant, Thai spicy. Nice place and they were very gracious about having 75 percent of their seating taken up. I didn't get the impression that Thursday nights are hoppin'.

My truck broke down on Edward between Franklin & Delaware on Wednesday. The Midas on Niagara Street came and towed me and then the mechanics huddled around like it was the coolest new mystery. Ignition coil failed.

Think I tried Thai Food once but it was some noodle thing with oil that was pretty good.... Wasn't really brave enough to try anything else really was.... In other words good choice of place to eat you ladies are brave...
