Normal - July 8, 2013

I haven't posted in awhile but there just hasn't been much going on.  I spend a few days in a nice office, a couple of half-days in the Snack Shack, followed by a couple of  days doing whatever.  Normal is what you are used to, and this is my new "normal".

It's hot here and I need a shower after spending just a few minutes outside.  So I'm just sort of coasting along right now, avoiding heat stroke.  I did get a new shoot-and-go camera - a little Sony DSC-WX50.  I'll never win a photo contest with it, but it's really small and seems like a nice camera to take along on a daily basis.  If I hold it real still, it takes nice closeups.  
And I like the panorama feature.
This past weekend Randy was in a minor traffic accident - not his fault, a car bumped into him while he was stopped - so the Jeep is in the shop getting some work.

A couple of weeks ago the whole crew who works here went on a Savannah Slow Ride Pub Crawl.  This is where you rent a cart that is powered only by your group's pedal power.  Up to 10 people can pedal, 5 on each side, with a couple of non-pedaling seats at the back. 
Although the cart runs on the street, it obviously doesn't move very fast, especially since the goal is to stop at several pubs along the way.  We stopped at three good pubs and everyone had a great time, while crowds on the sidewalks gave us high-fives and took videos of us pedaling away as hard as alcohol and laughter would allow.  But our Crawl got cut a little short.  One of our group said a cuss word and the next thing we knew, the guide pulled the cart over and told us to get off, the ride was over.  Just like that.  We weren't sure where we were but it wasn't too hard to find our way back, in spite of the drinks consumed.  We ended the evening at Vinnie Van Go Go's, where they serve a seriously good pizza.
