Vacation Fun
Last week I was in Ohio on vacation for the Brood XIV cicada emergence (the last 17 cicada emergence until 2012). You can read about that on Cicada Mania.
On my way, I stopped at Cabela’s and snapped this shot of a bear fighting an eagle. It made me think of the Colbert Report, and America fighting Russia.
I live along the shore of New Jersey, so I was surprised to see the world’s largest horseshoe crab in the middle of Ohio (Blanchester to be specific).
Ohio has a lot of fast food restaurants — about 3 times the number that we have in New Jersey. One type of fast food Jersey does not have is chili served on spaghetti. I tried both restaurants that serve this meal: Gold Star and Skyline. While both restaurants had unusually attractive workers, I preferred Gold Star because it was spicier and less soupy. Ohio also has Circle K convenience stores, which is cool to see if you’re a fan of Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure.
about Vacation Fun
Hey, hope you had fun in Ohio, home of your humble Thrift Store DJ. We didn’t get any of the brood here in Columbus, but my sister, who lives in southeast Ohio was “visited” while trying to mow her lawn. I feel like since you drove so far to see them, I should at least drive an hour and probably help my poor sister with the yardwork. If you really liked the Cincy chili, you should try making it yourself. Your house will smell wonderful for weeks to come!
