ZOMG FIVE DOLLAH GAS!

I've got some pictures at home that I will eventually upload. In the mean time, yes, we can't afford to go traipsin around the carolinas at the moment. I will take some pics locally later this week and post.

Calhoun Falls et alia

We went all over the place yesterday. The only place I took pictures was Calhoun Falls State Park. I expected to see a waterfall. It turns out that the waterfall was actually rapids now submerged under the damned Richard B Russell Lake. Yes, I mean "damned."

We burnt the toe off of a dinosaur yesterday, and those two pictures above and some food receipts are all we have to show for it. We've decided to give up the traipsins in the Southwestern Midlands. In fact, we're probably going to leave most of that portion of SC between I-95 and I-85 Southwest of I-26 alone. The people are scary. If we ever make a horror movie, it's either going to be set there or filmed there.

Missed opportunities

I forgot to bring my camera along when I went to my parents' this past weekend, so please accept somebody else's video from the Bull Sluice on the Chatooga River as a replacement offering:

Jamil Road, Columbia, SC on Wednesday

This is a photo taken during a walk on Wednesday.

ATL: no photos

I didn't take any pictures. We went to a birthday party, tried to go to Goldberg's Deli (friggin gentiles overrunning the place), went to the World of Coke, had sushi, and came home. Feh.

Two things about the World of Coke:

1. Beverly is just sweetened tonic water.
2. It becomes blatantly obvious that the "New Coke" fiasco was just extremely clever marketing slash Coca-Cola waving their dicks.

Coke used New Coke to remind the world that it controls your drug. You are entirely dependent on this shit. Otherwise, you wouldn't have cared. Coke owns your ass.
