Firstly, a big hello to Planet Ubuntu! As an Ubuntu community member and Ubuntu core-dev, I've decided to add my livejournal to there. Since I usually don't make any effort to sensor my thoughts on here, I chose not to add it while I was still with Canonical in order to make sure that there was no confusion as to the OfficialStatus(tm) of anything I write.
The last two days have taken us from Toronto through to Cincinnati. Andrew took us down to the Buffalo airport, we met Jason and Brian from Koolu on the way day and finally wound up down there at 22h30 despite having left NewMarket at 11am. When we stopped at Babur for lunch, we wound up seeing Nancy and Alexis walk past.
We stayed overnight at the Mum's Red Carpet Inn, just over the Pennsylvania border. It didn't have Red Carpet. It *did* have Orange Shag on the side of the bed, however. High class. The continental breakfast was Tang, Bananas, vegan doughnuts and twinkies. The vegan doughnuts were full of palm oil, I don't think my heart rate has recovered yet.
On the drive towards Kentucky, we got hungry (and tired of Subway) when we approached Columbus. We first tried to go to a place called "Leaf Restaurant", which it turns out can feed us exactly zero things. Down to the pre-made chef salad, and the spaghetti sauce having meat in it. We went a bit further, and decided to try the university district. We pulled over after seeing an Ethiopian place, and saw Ben Sostrom, whom we'd just met at Opus the week before! We spent the evening hanging out with him, michael dobson, amber, and the rest of their YA group. They meet on Tuesday nights a couple blocks from where we parked! It was nice to have a post-Opus day like that, but their stories of carjackings and cops randomly pulling people over are hopefully overstated by several orders of magnitude!
We continued the drive down to just outside of Cincinnati. We're meeting up with Stephanie Truax today for our tour of the Creationism Museum. After this, we'll turn west and try to find our way to California.
