I had forgotten how many old people there are here

I am writing this entree utilizing the free wireless at the St. Augustine, FL Quality Inn. After visiting both grandfathers my family and I are returning home tomorrow. I am happy to report that both seem to be doing a lot better. One was released from the hospital, and the other was allowed a temporary leave so that he could come out for a dinner with my family, his wife (my step-grandmother), and her brother. If you are looking for an amusing story ask me about that dinner. I don't want to just post it here since I'm not sure if there are any channels back to the parties involved from people who may read this =). Who knew, I have a conscious. Trying to stamp that out...

Anyway, on the way down here we got to drive through good old Jacksonville, and we will again tomorrow on the way back up. Someone forgot to inform the city that they aren't allowed to change anything after I left. There are a few changes to the skyline, a new shopping mall, and some other things that are out of place from when I left 4 years ago. Those bastards.

A good thing though is that here in St. Augustine, which is a little less than an hour from Jacksonville, I got to go to one of my favorite restaurants for dinner. It is a seafood place called Barnacle Bills. Despite being a seafood place, I always order the chicken strips (yeah I know, big surprise). The reason I like it so much is not for the chicken strips (though they are tasty) but for the onion rings I order as an appetizer and the hot sauce known as Dat'l-Do-It Sauce, made from the rare and elusive Datil pepper. Best stuff ever. Unlike most crappy hot sauces like tobasco which are normally runny, Dat'l-Do-It has a consistency of ketchup. Along with the hot, there is a bit of honey mixed in with it to take away some of the burn, making so that it is still quite hot but allows you to it eat in large quantities. I once impressed a waitress by using an entire bottle of hot sauce over the course of my onion rings, chicken strips, and fries. They changed their onion rings though. They are not as flaky as they used to be. Those bastards.

Today marks the one-week weekiversy of my interview at Bell, which represents the absolute minimum amount of time that the nice man said it would take for them to get through the bureaucratic red tape if they were going to offer me a job. Lets hope I don't have to wait by the phone too long.
