Streetviewed

I mentioned a while back that I saw the Google Street View car pass while I was working on the building.  Then, not too long ago, Dwight mentioned that he saw someone in the street view before he visited for the first time.  I finally got around to checking it out myself. Bill painting.

All the world’s a stage.

Umbrellas in Medina

These umbrellas shade from the desert sun during the day, and can be retracted to allow the floor to cool at night.  Located in Medina at the Mosque of the Prophet. I love the architecture of it!  I think a few of Houston’s open areas could benefit from something similar.  I wonder how strong of a wind they can withstand.

Willy the Hillbilly

willy the hillbillyHave you seen this hillbilly at your local grocery store?  It cracked me up so much I had to buy a 12-pack.

My caffeine of choice is Dr Pepper, but I enjoy a Mountain Dew now and then, and particularly like their recent Voltage, which was raspberry and citrus.

I also particularly like the sodas that are made with cane sugar rather than corn syrup.  This one turned out to be not as good as I hoped, but still decent.

Apparently this one became available in December and is for a “limited time only” – it says so right there on the can!
