There is nothing online yet that I can link to but I just received an Amber Alert bulletin for Covington, Georgia (east of me) for a Hispanic nale about 5’7″ driving a 2003 White Ford F250 with tag #ASI6615. There are two children, a boy 3 and a girl of 6. If you have any information call 770-784-2100
I am getting ready to leave for work so if any more information is released or the alert canceled, leave it in the comments for me.

I mentioned yesterday that I had had enough of Disney by this time. For our last day there we decided to spend the first part of it at one of the water parks and then go to Downtown Disney that afternoon.
I’m glad we got to be able to go. While I didn’t particularly want to go spend a fortune on stuff in the stores there I did want to go do some window shopping and have a bite to eat there. We canceled our dinner reservations at the Animal Kingdom and decided to just eat somewhere at Downtown Disney instead.
Although there is a ton of entertainment and we really enjoyed the several story arcade it’s mostly made up of Disney shopping and boy do they have some stuff to check out.

I can understand that. We also give pins to our employees at work and they just love to collect, buy and trade the pins with each other and really love it when they have something someone else doesn’t. I have an entire desk drawer full of that crap at home. 22 years of working for them. I may just have to put some of them up on eBay. The Olympics pins we gave out during the ’96 games might actually be worth something to someone.
Anyway, they all got to get a couple of pins. I think all total I probably spent two hundred bucks on pins and freaking lanyards while we were there.

There was also a store that sold nothing by Mr. Potato Head. It was pretty cool. There were a couple of tables inside where the kids could put together Mr. Potato Head so we let them play for awhile. There was also an area with Star Wars Potato Head and I had to make sure and get a couple of pictures of these guys.
I particularly like Darth Potato Head and the Sith Potato Head.
We let them run around and play in there for awhile and then moved on to something else.

We thought about going to the Crab House but then decided on something else. I still wanted the picture of the old steamboat restaurant though.
I think that the favorite part of Downtown Disney for everyone was the Lego store. Man, they had some really cool stuff.

THIS is the Lego guy…

Lego guy was working outside where they have several tables for folks to build stuff out of. He’s in charge of making sure everything is cool and nobody takes the Legos. He also makes sure to let everyone know that he’s the one with the wheels. If you wanted wheels on your Lego car you had to see him and god forbid you lose the fucking wheels.
I see a fucking serial rapist in the makings…
I caught a case of the crabs there…

Maybe not but it certainly sounded good at the time…

The only problem with Sushi is that if you are eating outside and it’s 85 degrees it does
n’t take long for that shit to get nastified.

Even Pete agrees…They screwed up her order the first time but finally got it right. What with the heat and humidity she didn’t eat very much of it.
That was pretty much it. We went back to the resort and may have swam for a while but the next morning we high-tailed it back to Georgia. Unfortunately I had chosen to let them automatically charge me for everything so as to save time so I wasn’t able to ditch the final bill. Since we paid for the lodging, food and park tickets way ahead of time the only stuff I had to pay for was what we actually purchased and any extra meals. I think it came out to around another $1100 so the damage could have been worse.
I love going to Disney but for us the time constraints just kill you. Even with having a week there we still weren’t able to do everything we wanted to without cramming it into 15-18 hour days. I think the best way to go would be to spend about three days in each park. 14-21 days. I’ll have to hock my fucking retirement for that one though…
Last week I posted about Hollywood Studios and Epcot. The same day we went to Epcot we had reservations at 1900 Park Place (I think that’s the name of the restaurant) at thr Grand Floridian Resort. Since it was a character meal we didn’t want to miss it. For some reason I thought it was an Alice in Wonderland type thing but apparently it was Cinderella and family. Here are some of the photos.
The pictures are pretty crappy. I had not had the chance to experiment with the camera’s lighting settings yet. It’s not like I’m trying to sell them or anything, it’s the memories that count.
The girls were very happy to see Cinderella but it was the evil stepmother and stepsisters that stole the show.
Mean faces…
The wife is going to kill me for posting that one…
A very content RePete.
We had intended on going back to the Animal Kingdom the next day as there were several things I wanted to do that we didn’t get to do on our short day there but by the time that last day rolled around I was so fucking tired of being there that I wanted an easy day….The last day of our trip next time…
Updated 10/14/08 – Casey Anthony has been indicted by a grand jury on seven counts including 1st Degree Murder and is in police custody. More info here.
Update August 29th 10:50PM – Casey has been rearrested for writing bad checks.
Updated August 29th 5:33PM
Casey Anthony’s bond revoked, to return to jail on Saturday?
I received an email earlier from someone asking about the Orange County Florida criminal database and after looking at the thing it seems as though we were mistaken and what we were looking at had no bearing on anything going on right now. Confused yet? Doesn’t matter.
Anyway, one of the sites run by that psychic Gale was brought up and I mentioned that I had been there as well as some of the other sites run by her cohorts. I was not particularly impressed.
I believe in psychics. I also believe in ghosts and magic and all sorts of weird shit. What I don’t believe are the 90% of people that say that they have seen it or experienced it, particularly if they have to send out a fucking press release to let the whole world know. Bigfoot anyone?
Personally I think that if that Gale was for real she would have just driven down and checked out the place for vibes or whatever it is she does and then quietly called the Anthonys to let them know what she thought. It’s not as if they aren’t taking calls from the rest of the crackpots around the state of Florida. Their home number is posted on the Find Caylee web site fer christ’s sake! Why issue press releases about what you are going to be doing and how? Does that serve some purpose in psychic land? Do the vibes get stronger when the greater part of the population of the United States read on CNN that you were going to ‘blind drive’ around the area to find Caylee? There’s a reason that psychic and psychosis look so much alike. Hell, for all I know they tuned in with the psychic psilocybin and pslythered around like psloths in the pslippery mud…
I do so want to believe in it, just not their brand of bullshit…
Everyone is right sooner or later. My personal opinion is that Caylee Anthony is dead (for those of you that have no fucking clue as to what I am talking about, there ya’ go) and that she either died in the hot car driven by her mother or accidently drowned in the pool, her mother freaked the hell out, didn’t know what to do and passed the buck onto a make-believe babysitter. If I’m right does that make me a psychic? If so just send your donations through paypal. The fucking link’s around here somewhere.

The next morning (June 3rd) we went to Epcot. I had never been to Epcot before and I was really impressed.
The week was finally getting to us and we overslept. We had a Princess Breakfast scheduled for something like 8:30 in the morning for the girls at Epcot and we woke up at something like 7:30. Since the Wife and Pete had stayed up much later than RePete and nyself they decided they did not want to get out of bed. Repete and I made the mad dash to Epcot. It seemed like we had to wait forever. First we had to ride the monorail to the transit center and switch to another train and ride that all the way to Epcot. We had to wait forever. Then we got lost in Epcot 🙂
We ended up getting to breakfast 30 or 40 minutes late but they were gracious enough to seat us anyway. Repete got to meet several of the princesses she had not met before…
RePete and I had a really great time and since the breakfast was held in the Norse(?) area there were lots of cool new foods to try for her. I had a bit of smoked salmon with my eggs and she got to try several different types of cheeses. RePete LOVES cheese.
The wife and Pete showed up around 10:30 and we spent the rest of the day wandering around Epcot. There’s some more pictures in the extended entry.
I haven’t posted anything else about our trip to Disney since around the beginning of July so I thought it a good time to put up some more pictures from the trip.
The last time I was talking about it I had gotten to our day at Hollywood Studios.
We had to drag the kids to see the Lights, Motors, Action! show. It was pretty hot that day and neither of them seemed to want to see it but once we got there they enjoyed it.
This is the set from Lights, Motors, Action!
One of the favorite things for the kids on both of our trips to Hollywood Studios (formerly MGM Studios) is to play in the “Honey I shrunk the Kids” area. They always have a blast and it’s nice to get into the shade after walking around the park for a while.
We didn’t spend the entire day at Hollywood Studios as we had dinner reservations somewhere at the Magic Kingdom I believe. So we rode the bus back to our resort and then caught the boat over to the Magic Kingdom.
I honestly can’t remember where we ate that night. I don’t have any pictures so it must not have been one of the character meals. I do remember that we stayed awhile and since it was open late that night RePete and I caught the boat back to the hotel while Pete and the wife stayed past midnight. We were already getting toward the end of the trip and by that time it had kicked my ass good. We went to Epcot the next day. I had never been to Epcot before and I really enjoyed it. The next time it’s just the wife and I we are definitely going back.
…what’s that mean you ask?
Well you should. It’s damn sure not the meaning of life although it might just be the meaning of my life thus far.
A couple of days ago Eric posted about tuna salad and some of the fixin’s that go into it. If you do it the right way egg whites go in. That’s the way I ate it growing up here in the south anyway.
Flash forward to the night before last and he posted about eggs again and the inability to crack them well. That’s OK dude. It’s a learned art form. I of course had to butt in and let him know that I can crack two at a time. When it’s busy and I am jamming right along I can hold one in each palm while cracking another in the fingers of each hand…
I also performed a feat unimagined here in the Miles casa. I performed a bit of legerdemain called “math”. At least that’s what the wife says it’s called. I think ‘witchcraft’ is more like it. Anyway, I work an average of 260 days per calender year. More now that I have three stores. I cook at least 300 eggs a day. That’s less than a case and in some of my busier stores and on weekends I can go through a case and a half to two cases in seven hours. That means I have prepared at least 1,482,000 eggs since 1987. That’s a fuckload of cholesterol. No wonder mine’s so high, the shit probably seeps through my gloves into my skin.
Just another bit of useless trivia from yours truly…
