Spotted in Sarasota, FL, parked in front of a wings joint. It drew a crowd as people filtered in and out of the restaurant. A father says to his soccer team as they rush towards it in curiosity and awe, “Don’t touch it.” Good advice.

The “Megajuana” burrito, stuffed with steak and everything else, from Tijuana Flats. Roughly the same diameter of Nicole Richie’s thigh.

We were buying some stuff in Dillards last week where we saw this really cool wristwatch display. Check out the case itself (the watches were cool but nothing to write home about)… it’s a fake amplifier, complete with carrying strap, working knobs and buttons, LEDs, the whole shebang. Click the picture to see the fullsize image, for more detail.
Pretty cool!
Honey, what’s for dinner?

As I wondered earlier what to have for dinner, I’m glad I didn’t ask THIS lady, who was hanging around in our carport after hours.
People You Don’t Meet Every Day

I just got off the phone with a woman I work with. She’s in a fairly remote location and I don’t see her that often, and as such our relationship is fairly shallow and no further than a mild acquaintance. During this routine business phonecall, I hear she’s just gotten back from vacation. Oh really, somewhere special? Guatemala. Oh really, for family or vacation? I worked in an orphanage for a week.
Now, I don’t know if this, for her, was part of a church group activity, or whether it was of her own volition and initiative. Either way, life throws a Saint at me, and in this case, I’ve known her for quite some time with zero inkling that she was of the heart, soul, and social philanthropy to go to a Third World country to take care of homeless children.
I’m impressed.

I met a dude on Youtube, who lives close enough for me to drive to his house and pull off ridiculous antics like this.
Area Man Gets All Groceries In One Trip

Sarasota, FL
Local man Chris Gkikas managed to get all the grocery bags from the trunk yesterday, in a display termed “impressive” by onlooking neighbors.
“I got a glimpse,” said Lenore Jacobs, Gkikas’ retired next door neighbor, “of how many bags they had in the trunk. He started pickin’ them up and then, Lord, I saw the boxes of sodapops and the big Gatorade. And he wasn’t halfway even done with the bags, and he’s haulin’ up all the Cokes under one arm. I was impressed.”
A personal best, Gkikas hauled 17 plastic bags, three twelve-packs and a large red Gatorade, to the confoundment of his wife’s prediction that he “couldn’t handle the bags, AND the drinks. No way.”
Some have suggested that the display was rigged, and that the bags were filled with light weight objects.
“Oh no,” replied Gkikas to these allegations, “she got some heavy stuff. Seriously, three jars of spaghetti sauce and the large jar of pickles alone added like, five pounds to the whole thing.”
Gkikas even closed the trunk before making it 150 feet from the driveway to the kitchen without pausing or getting any relief from the gargantuan strain placed on his will-power to get ALL the groceries — because “it’s what men do.”
Bird In Hand Is Worth Points With Wife

In a somewhat panicked tone this morning, Idoia asks me for help from the living room. I drop what I’m doing and hustle out to hear her expressing kitty-level concern for a small bird that had fallen outside our patio. I picked this little dude up and encouraged him to stand on his own. 10 minutes later, he flew from one short shrub to another, and Idoia was satisfied that he was going to make it. What is it lately with me and animals?
