there is one in Lexington that has horrible parking. Basically not any. THat's on Harrodsburg Road (I think though it could be Nicholasville). the better one is closer to I-75 though they might have other locations by now.

I miss going there with Dad it was one the best places to go with him.

Yep been to the Nicholasville one, that's the one about an hour away from me.


OT: Continuing some advance planning of my 2 weeks back in New York next month.

Is that lamp LED? I'd be concerned about heat if it's not.
Good job!

I can't make up my mind on which Lack table to get https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/lack-si...lack-20011408/ or https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/lack-co...rown-40104294/

Me on the exercise trail when I see people using it for activities other than running or dog walking. I don't consider slow walking, slow biking or sitting on a bench exercise.

Was also quite amused to see a lazy old woman who bikes at a severely bad pace on the trail on Sundays try to give it a go today and turn around because there's a lot of water, dirt and rocks on the trail. Well first of all, old woman, it's not a bicycle trail and there was a decent amount of rainfall yesterday so maybe think with your other brain next time. Also, there's a bicycle lane right there with no rocks or big piles of mud that you could use if you weren't so lazy.

Oh and also the people who severely divert themselves to avoid me while I'm running on the path - if you fear coronavirus THAT much, just stay home and keep your droplets to yourself while you fake exercise around the house.

As an adult with a desktop computer, laptop computer and smart phone, would a tablet serve me any purpose? I would never watch a movie or TV show on something that small.

None whatsoever, tablets are really just big phone versions of laptops with no keyboard.

This. I've eventually returned or sold off every tablet I've tried. I'm good with a desktop, laptop (for mobile/travel), and a smartphone.

I've always wondered the same thing. I don't see a whole lot of people using tablets - kids mostly - except in commercial applications like restaurants where the employees use them as mobile computers to check people in or assign seating. I think my niece gave one to her 6-tear-old to keep him busy. I don't see myself ever owning one.

The only tablets I ever owned are the Barnes and Noble Nook.
Not the glowlite or and of the e-readers, the actual tablets...
I like reading my comics on them.
That's actually the only reason I own a tablet!

I love my ipad, they are everywhere in the construction field today.

Laptops imo are the item kind of losing ground and becoming irrelevant, at least in my field of work.

[Gold Ranger]

I hate that laptops lost mouse buttons and BD/DVD drives!
Makes them useless!

Five Guys is okay, and local (Arlington VA) beginnings; but the best DC 'quick' burger IMO is from 'Z-Burgers'

Looks like a good place to check out. We had a place in upstate NY similar called "Juicy Burgers & More" unfortunately they couldn't compete and shut down. Around here (SE Kentucky) I haven't really looked around for anything better than Five Guys.

That said for the month and a half I spent in southern California I'd choose Zorba's in Riverside over any Five Guys, In-n-Out or Jack-in-the-Box. I regret never trying a Fat Burger while I was out there, oh well I'm sure I missed much more and I'm hoping some day I'll make it back out there with more free time.

You should come up to Northern California next time

I took a tour of an apartment today and while I was trying to find the leasing office, I ran into a girl that was trying to find an apartment to deliver food to. I guess she was DoorDashing or something like that. Well, I'm now convinced that the hottest women in the world come from Colombia The hell with India, it's all about Colombia now

Had that interview last week on the 11th and withdrew my application after deciding the job wasn't a good fit. Got a letter yesterday anyway telling me I didn't get the job lol, at least it still says application withdrawn on the job site. All my other open applications on the state job site say screened or referred so hopefully I'll get more interviews soon.

About to get in a 4 mile run before I take my parents to the airport and then volunteer at that lady's daycare this afternoon.
