Surprises from Facebook

Here's a list, taken from my facebook, of the "Top 5 Books in the Northern Indiana Network":

1. The Bible
2. Harry Potter
3. To Kill A Mockingbird
4. Lord of the Rings
5. The Chronicles of Narnia

I'm surprised, though I'm not sure which entry surprises me most.

Should Have

I probably should have spent the evening doing some work. Instead I spent it sitting on the neighbor's porch. But it was worth it.

Norm Status

Remember how I said we weren't quite to "Norm!" status but we were working on it? We may have arrived. Actual phone conversation I had tonight:

"King Gyros, may I help you?"

"Yes, I'd like to place an order for pick up."

"Go ahead."

"I'd like a half-slab dinner, a jr. gyros, and a gyros plate with an extra pita."

"That's a bit more than you usually order."

"Yeah, we're ordering for lunch tomorrow as well."

"Oh, alright. Is 15 minutes alright for you guys?"

***

So Esther and I went to King Gyros to pick up our order. As I walked toward the counter I saw numbers already appearing on the cash register. As I arrived at the counter:

"That'll be 18.65."

Not only do they know my voice, name, and phone number, they also know the car. Excellent. I do believe we've arrived.

Walk Score

Went to walkscore.com and entered my address. The resulting score of 43 (out of 100) surprised me. I had no idea I lived in such a walkable area. Of course, most of the restaurants and groceries are not the ones at which I would prefer to shop, and there aren't really sidewalks to get to some of them, and one of the groceries/restaurants (taqueria-type) burned to the ground recently ... but, 43, really? Wow.
