I’m at The Fainting Goat as I type(meaning they have free wireless). Which is a positive point for them, however the reason for this post is something that far outweighs the free internet provided there. I walked into the mens bathroom and commented on how hot it was. The anonymous man said ‘yeah, it’s 100 in the kitchen and like 140 in here. At least we have an open door in the kitchen making it about 10 degrees in one place. The point is I was talking to a cook. Needless to say there was no sign on the door that said anything about employees washing their hands, so apparently he didn’t.
Anywho, he pee’d and didn’t wash. I’m not grossed out, but I thought my local readers might be interested.

Some of you may or may not know but I was in an accident Saturday evening. I was heading home to waterloo from Atlantic when I was involved in a 3 car accident. I’m physically fine but my truck is dead and resting peacefully somewhere (I’m not exactly sure where it was hauled off too). If you want generic mixed information about the accident check out Page 4A of the Jan 15th Waterloo Cedar Falls Courier, or view the other article here: Times Republican Article
I can’t tell you much more about the accident at this time, just that I was the only one to physically walk away from it. Quite scary really. Here’s a thought, what if I hadn’t washed my windows while I filled up with gas in Des Moines. I recall that the gas stopped pumping, but I hadn’t quite finished cleaning off my windshield yet. Had I not decided to clean my windshield, I probably would of left the gas station 10 seconds early…
So whats the lesson here? Wear your seat belt, drive a big old truck, and whenever you get the chance, wash your windshield while filling up with gas.

Just a quick post… Hawaii is awesome. The weather is beautiful. Whales are big. The ocean can be mean, and surfing hurts your nipples. (imagine being drug across astroturf while laying on your chest)
I added a few pictures to the gallery. (Just what I had on my phone at the time)

In this instance, we’ll say Aloha means goodbye.
Starting tomorrow morning I (along with the other members of my immediate family) will be taking a nice long vacation. We’re venturing to the fine state of Hawaii. Why exactly? Because brother Brian finally graduated from The University of Northern Iowa. Way to go Bri, you have now joined the ranks of 90+ Thousand other people (one being me). How elite.
So what do I plan on doing in Hawaii? I don’t have much of a list right now. Only 2 items actually,
1. Go Surfing
2. Sit on the beach
If you have anything that you feel needs to be on my itinerary let me know and I’ll do my best to add some time for it as my schedule is clearly very busy.

p.s. Don’t try and rob me while I’m gone, my dog will bite your face off.
