Lee Iacocca - Margarine Mogul

Look at the top. Why is he involved in fake butter? This has nothing to do with travel but I do not abre, it is my blog!

Giant Plane Full of French People

The giant airbus across from my baby Delta plane has a bunch of smelly French People waiting for their late plane to take off. They are sitting near me smelling like a combo of ass and lilacs.

South Beach Strippers

I am in Miami and drove through the Art Deco district. I was shocked to see Madonna was performing but I was wrong. Oh well...

Giant Basketball

This weird orb adds a layer of Huh to an otherwise interesting small town skyline. It is part of the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame which looks a lot bigger than you would think is necessary.

The Smokies

The view from my hotel room shows why they have earned their namesake.

Somebody Loves Tennessee

At least he can be taken seriously as a top notch traffic guy. What an assclown!

To Go Beer is Cool

I am leaving with a growler of their IPA! Tennessee is better than Georgia! Also, the guy came back and the girls are happy they are back. I am the Yoda of college hook-ups!

Wingman

While I sober up, I am helping a dude hook up. It is funny to see the guy with his weak lines. I told him to just get a number and leave. I told him to then come back in a few minutes to tell them they were so nice they had to come back. Hope it works!

Alcoholic Program

You can get a numbered mug that gets you one dollar beers. At least that is what the drunk playa next to me is saying.

Darn Good Kabob

The kabob made the perfect pair for a buzzed patron. I need it to get sober.

My Hotel is Nowhere Near Here

Going back to the hotel took me by the site of major ass-kickings by my Gators! I could smell the offseason sadness.

Downtown Grill & Brewery

Here is my giant beer sampler. A fitting reward for having to travel on a Sunday. 7 beers is the highest number I have seen in a sampler. The place is hopping for a Sunday night but it may be because the Vols basketball team won.

Goodbye Minneapolis Dinner

As my last meal, I had a Kobe Beef French Dip. It was a nice final meal for my last trip there.

Frozen Coke

This is what happens to Coke in Antarctica.

Beyond Freezing

My teeth are shattering while I warm up the car in below twenty one weather. I don't like to curse on my blog but holy shit it is cold!

Minnesota Sunset

I will not miss the cold but I will miss the scenery. The sun coming through the trees and hitting the snow is as beautiful as the sunset I will see in Miami next week.

Yes, It Is That Cold!

I have never been to a place that is -5 degrees. It is like your skin and face are burning. It is still very pretty though.

Jewish Pepper

A free yamaka, a tired dog, and some free time can be dangerous. Oy Vey!

Bunny Hedelman Says Hello

You have to respect a lady named Bunny that has a ceramic bunny on her desk.

Cheryl & Manattee

Our walk around the lagoon featured the memorial statue of the brave sea cow Mortimer who died during the sea life civil war.

Presenting Farkel

We went to our friend's house last night and played an addictive game called Farkel. It involves dice, math, and inevitably beer. Lots of fun but confusing.

Wedding Invite

Here is the invite for Tami and Aaron's wedding. Jewish and Cuban weddings are similar in that they are big, have good food, and are a lot of fun. B-)

Welcome to Miami

We are here for a wedding and I am staying an extra day for some meetings. Nice view, huh?

Here is Amanda!

She is learning about Britney.

Facewarp!

Another great useless feature!

Senor Pepper Loves Wine

I have just learned how to edit and add wacky clip art to my photos. It is immature and stupid but so am I.

Fries Too!

The fries were golden and delicious!

Big Sandwich

This is called Ike's Carvery Club Sandwich. It is Angus beef with sage turkey and bacon with horseradish on whole grain bread. It was too big to finish!

Surley Bender

Coolest name for a beer! It is an old local brew that is like Guiness but much sweeter. I will look for it on my next trip!

Ike's - View from my Table

I like the atmosphere here - it feels like an old men's club.

Ike's

For an airport restaurant, this place looks good! It is from the 40's and has old school touches like a carving station and steak.

Mmm...Cheese

There is a store dedicated to Wisconsin cheese! 8 year aged cheddar & cheese curds! Needless to say, some is coming home.

Huh?

This place was crazy stupid! It was all Joan Rivers jewelry.

Lego!

Obviously I am happy!:-D

Old Mall Walkers

I have never seen so many! They are taking a well deserved break with some prune juice and laxative.

Giant Amusement Park

The picture cannot capture the size of this. It is crazy!

Lobster Parking

I can now find my car.

More Snow

The suburbs of Minneapolis look just like everywhere else. Hotels have assclowns where they say "are you a road warrior?" and I vomit a little in my mouth. The minute I say yes, I might as well get a toupee and some sansabelt slacks.

Weird Egg

I saw this egg in another Hampton Inn and thought the chef was lazy. This looks like an egg got hit by a car.

Pretty House in a Small Town

After my walk on the lake I walked through a neighborhood to see how the snow stacks up. Very pretty but very cold!

On a Frozen Lake in Minnesota

I walked out on a lake following tire tracks that were already there. The guy in the ice hut was cutting through the 30 inch thick ice with a chainsaw. I am not sure it was a good idea to talk to the toothless guy that smelled like whiskey.

Viking & Snow

A good bit of snow makes the Minnesota Viking look manlier in the 8 degree weather. It is going to go up to 9 degrees tomorrow so I better find my thong!

Jack Tripper Mall

The Viking Mall in Alexandria, Minnesota has modern stores like the grain mill and yarnland! The 70's rock!

Good Morning from Chicago!

We had about 6-8 inches last night. My hotel window provided verification. O'Hare says they will be good to go by tonight - let's hope so...
