Moving Day

Spent the afternoon moving the office furniture out with James and Joseph so that we can vacate it at the end of the month.

U-Haul is a complete rip-off, though. They charge an insane rate per mile on top of the rental fee, and try to sneak in any possible extra charge they can. There was a dolly bolted to the side of the van, but it had a little plastic tag which you had to break to use it. After we unbolted it we saw a sign in another section of the van, which said that it would cost $7 if we broke the tag. Frankly, I found that level of nickel-and-dime behaviour offensive, so before we returned the van I stuck the tag back on with sellotape. It was good enough for a cursory inspection.

Went to a Texas Roadhouse for dinner. The menu said, "If it doesn't say Texas, it isn't Texas Roadhouse!". There are so many things I could say, but I'm just going to let it slide.

There was a big bucket of peanuts on the table. After dinner I built a minature Stonehenge made from peanut shells, stuck to the plate with butter. The staff were amused. I was pleasantly shocked to find that so many of them actually knew what Stonehenge is.

Perhaps there is hope, after all...
