Monday’s site visit at MD Anderson went exceptionallly well, although like many site visits, we didn’t get to see everything we wanted to. But we saw enough during the quick 4 hour whirlwind tour and were very impressed by their operation and the efficiencies they’ve achieved.
Lunch was at Goode Company, a kind of divy hole in the wall looking place, but with some fantastic Texas BBQ. There was a line out the door to the cafeteria style place, and it was well worth it.
By far the most unique items in the restaurant were the handbags hanging over the cashier. Large sac looking things that you could have fit both fists into, with plenty of room to spare. Fairly decent sized handbags that would hold most of the things women typically stuff into handbags.
The material these things were constructed from was somewhat…unique. No doubt in the spirit of “Use Everything”, if you’ve every wondered what happens to a bull’s dangly bits, this is one way to use them. Yes, the handbags were made from bull scrotum (scrota?). And they were still hairy. Empty, but hairy.
Now, I wonder what they do with the other dangly bit…
Plug in and let’s go!
Well, this is interesting. Not quite sure what else to say about it. I suppose it could be fun.
Is there an afterlife for storms?
Seems Ivan has resurrected itself and is going after the parts of the Gulf coast tht it missed the first time around.
A little more worrisome at the moment is Jeanne, which looks like it may be bringing in a lot of wind and rain this way, just as I’m supposed to head out to MD Anderson Cancer Center for a site visit (going there to check out some PET/CT equipment). But it’s still a few days away yet, and things may change. I’m sure they’re none too anxious to see yet another hurricane in Florida though, even a small one.
Congratulations, it’s a girl!
As expected, there is now TS Jeanne making a beeline for Puerto Rico and the Bahamas. I think one good thing about this storm is that strengthening is forecast to occur slowly, so it may not be a really big hurricane like Ivan or Frances by the time it gets to striking distance of us. Looks like it’s definitely headed this way though.
Eleven! Eleven tropical storms, ah ah ah ah ah….
TD 11 sprouted up today just off the Lesser Antilles and is headed this way. Ivan will probably be mostly a wind and rain event for us, but this one will probably need to be watched by next week. This one is forecast to become TS Jeanne in a couple of days.
