The food plant I was at for the past two days was a cheese manufacturing plant. They make mozzarella cheese to be more precise. The place is huge. Imagine a large mall but dedicated solely to making cheese. It was probably eight miles of walking each day just to get around the place.
I was surprised, first of all, by the fact that this privately owned company built this plant out of pocket, with no loans. Half a billion dollars is a lot of money to shell out for a business venture without taking a loan.

I’ve got my bags in my car, my maps are printed, and I’ve got my iPod. Thank god I’ve got my iPod! Best Western was kind enough to have local attractions listed on their site when you look at their different motels.

I sent an email with this link to my mom yesterday and added, “I’ll get right on it!” Here is my mom’s reply to me.
Great Grandma used to have Allen (as a kid) pee on her veggies she was growing. Young children have a bit more dilute urine, if they’re drinking. Remember, it’s the urine of healthy folks.

Today started off like any other day. I was running late to work but not caring. I was stopped at the stoplight on the offramp, blasting my radio and singing. As I turned to my left to see who was stopped next to me, I noticed it was a grown man with tears running down his face. His face wasn’t contorted in anguish, but he definitely had tear trails on his cheeks. I began pondering what could possess a man to cry on his drive to work.
The only thing I could come up with was that he was a USC fan. Those poor bastards. It’s beating a dead, Trojan horse, but I have been saying all along that you would have to be an idiot to wait for a chance to play behind so many great starters. Mark Sanchez was one of the more notable idiots in the coveted quarterback position, but Booty’s horrible game may just be his chance. Even Carroll noted, “We could have made a change but we went with our guy. I don’t know about next week.” You can defend Booty and the Trojans, saying he hurt his hand during the game, but the end result is what matters.

Michelle and I have decided we want to do more things together, one of them being trying new restaurants. We don’t want to just try new restaurants, but we want to try new restaurants with foods we may not have tried before. This weekend the arrow landed on Gaja Moc. They are famous for their Okonomiyaki, a Japanese pancake made from anything and everything. It’s a nice departure from the standard sushi and udon. You also have the choice to cook in front of you if you’d like.

I couldn’t let Michelle get away with being the only one getting a makeover. My website has been nipped and tucked, and it has emerged as a beautiful butterfly. Everyone’s screen should display wide enough for this layout. If not, it’s probably time for you to get out of the stone age and upgrade your computer so you can see it.
Nothing else should change as far as functionality goes, but let me know if something explodes when you click a link.
My neck hurts. I think my brain is too heavy for my neck.
This arrived in today’s mail. Does anyone else think this is a little bit too much? Also, they need to check their quality control on their printing. Hopefully those aren’t printed on Dell printers.

You might be riding on 22’s, but I’m blogging on a 17! Holla!

I ran across this online video game. In the game you run McDonald’s, not just the store front, but everything. From creating pastures and raising cattle for slaughter to hiring employees, you are in charge. You will quickly learn that you can create hamburgers without hormones, but McDonald’s officers will not be happy with your earnings. Learn about the seedy world of fast food in an entertaining way.
