Disturbing

So I came across this funny picture while working today:




















and I think it's disturbing. Who would do that? Also disturbing - I immediately began considering the product liability issues involved.

Turkey Fry

So my friend Tim invited me down for a Turkey Fry - where instead of baking a turkey, you fry it. It was pretty dang sweet. Tim's been living in Tokyo for the past 2 years or so, & I hadn't seen him since I wintered in Savannah my 1L year of law school. He also got married to Heather in Raleigh about 5 months ago, but I hadn't met her, so I was really looking forward to seeing both of them, as well as the Van Valkenburgs and Kim Mah.

I took off Friday after working for a bit, drove on down, and had a great weekend - just got back this afternoon (Sunday).

Frying a turkey was cool. I don't have that much experience frying things, but this was the biggest thing I've ever seen fried - and like all fried food, it was delicious.

Getting outside DC: Woodstock Tower

Yesterday I went with my buddy Jim down near the Shenandoah to this old fire observation tower. It was a good short trip, my truck found some dirt roads, and the fall colors were beautiful. The tower wasn't as tall as I was expecting, but it was still pretty cool. And there were a bunch of hang gliders prepping below us.

Most of all it just felt good to get out on the road, hit some dirt, and see some fresh air.
