soul food and mexican in south carolina

, , , ...

As I crisscross the Carolinas this week for work, one of my stops was Hardeeville, South Carolina. They have good food and Internet there. Hardeeville has a local net provider and my hotel was connected to it. The upload/download speeds were mind blowing. My cable net connection at home is from a national carrier, and while the download is great, the upload sucks.

I ate both the soul food and the Mexican seen advertised in the following pictures. The soul food wins in this town. :up: :chef:

I like the mix of English/Spanish in the images.

hazardous driving in lowcountry south carolina

I'm having to do a lot of driving for work this week. These images were taken on I-26 in Lowcountry, South Carolina.

In the second image the wipers are on high but visibility is about zero. Traffic continued to move about 70 MPH (112 KPH). I stopped at a McDonalds for a sundae until it got better. Price, $1.09. :smile: Cheap safety! Hey, I was taking pics while driving. Was that bad? lol.

volvo truck on a lift

Some of the plants I visit for work have interesting stuff going on. I saw this Volvo truck up on a lift today. I thought it looked a bit sleek and sporty floating up there. Most places drive trucks over a pit to service them. This place is fancy with the lift.

It's all part of my Volvo fetish.

mystery face signs in greensboro

I started noticing these last month in two places around town so far. In both places they are in series and span about two blocks. I parked today, took a walk with the camera, and got this set. What could they mean? Fertile ground for a conspiracy, or maybe just some freak-o advance advertising for something that will come later.

Here they are all on one side of the street. This is the entire series in order heading south to north. I think since last month two have been taken, but this is what remains.

Do these things start wars?

This is an old-fashioned one. The newest ones have a video screen and speakers and play (usually) a Cheetos or Nascar commercial as you fill up. There is no aural peace. I hope someday somebody hacks one to play a raunchy porn clip. :D
