A birthday on ice.

I often browse through the store after dinner as the two girls that work there said that they will be introducing new items off and on throughout the winter. To my surprise there were two different brands of beer on the shelf. So I bought a 6-pack of each for $6.50 a pack. I also purchased a new knit cap. 

Since it was my birthday I decided to check out the local bar, Gallagher's, for the first time. This of course after my party with 59 penguins! Gallagher's is a typical dark windowless bar. I wasn't really impressed except for some of the artwork inside. The bartender is from Key West so we had a lot to talk about. It was a fun way to end my day. The walk back to my dorm was painful with a biting cold wind. As I was walking two girls were running to a different dorm.  One of the girls I recognized from the gym grabbed onto my leeward side and asked me to get her to the door. So I complied but then had to walk into the wind to get to mine. It was COLD but another fine day.

A New Zealand beer.

I sometimes take pictures from my dorm's porch in my shorts and t-shirt. That's why the power line. I don't want to get bundled up to get away from the lines.

A cool new fire truck for the runway. The back holds 3,000 pounds of foam shot from the nozzle on the front bumper.

I found three cards in my duffel bag yesterday. Valentine's, birthday and Father's Day. Only opened two. Thanks Andee!

 

 

What a cool day!
