A Few Nice Thoughts

... and explainations.

The kinja thing was advertising that (for a fee) you could use someone's blog to sell your products, speak your own mind, or whatever else you wanted. I how no problems with people having blog sites (obviously) to say what they want, I just don't want people using my blog without my permission. Moving on...

In The Blues Brothers, when they're trying to complete their "mission from God," there's the big chase scene. As they're driving through the mysteriously deserted city streets of downtown Chicago, they pass several landmarks and art pieces that are recognizable. The photo from 3 posts ago is one of them. It is a Picasso sculpture that has no name, but it is located outside of the Daley Plaza. The Blues Brothers drove by this at a high rate of speed, but they also drove on the sidewalk close to it.

The toilets from 2 posts ago were in the men's & women's rooms. Damn, they're cool. I want one for my house - for the "guests". Pity they don't make those for when you have to shake hands with people you're not sure about. A quick hand wrap and you're done.

An excellent restaurant near my home has received the Mrs. Tuck Award of Awsomeness. That's a real accomplishment - my wife is picky about cleanliness and food quality. And the winner is....

P. F. Chang (Chinese), on Kingston Pike - Knoxville, TN. This place is incredible. The wait-staff is clean, attentive, polite, helpful, and good at their job. The food is mouth-wateringly scrumptous and can't be praised enough. Food portions are quite nice - sharable. The price is about the same as Wasabi (Japanese): not bad - especially for the quality and quantity. And they make this sauce at your table that's just **sigh** wonderful.

I might have to do a comparison between P.F.Chang and Wasabi, in an upcoming post. Hmm..........
