The difference a letter can make

I've recently become a fan of the BMT sandwich at Subway. It's one of those "five dollar ... five dollar ... five dollar foot-loooong" options.

I forget what all is in it. A lot of meat, which I get with onions, banana peppers, and chipotle sauce piled on top. Makes me very popular when I get back to the office.

So I'm waiting in line and the woman asks for my order. And, having just starred at the menu, I said the last thing that I saw on the list. "BLT."

Didn't realize what I had done until I saw her take out the bacon.

It wasn't bad, though I ate it as just a "BL." Not a big tomato fan, at least not when they come whole or sliced.

Leftovers from Hotlanta

Sorry about the delay in blogs. It's amazing how a movie shoot, a state primary, and a smaller-than-usual staff can cut into my blog time : )

Some leftover shots from my recent trip to Atlanta:

Gridlock in Kings Mountain

A few photos from this morning's furniture giveaway in Kings Mountain. To say there was traffic would be an understatement.

A Trip to The World of Coca-Cola

I wouldn't have thought The World of Coca-Cola would be that much fun to visit.

I mean, it's something I drink. Would I want to visit a water museum? An orange juice museum? A Yuengling museum?

Okay, maybe that last one.

I guess what sold it for me was the international flavor (literally). Not only was there all this historical memorabilia - advertisements, posters, etc. - from around the world, there were also dozens and dozens of varieties of Coke products you could drink until you got diabetes.

Oh yeah, and seeing the Coke Polar Bear was cool too.
