Hot-lanta, Livin la vida lanta, Oh my lanta

Sorry for the lack of posts but I was in Atlanta for about 5 days, about 2.5 unexpectedly. Here are some helpful facts in case you end up there.

1. If you have time to kill down town here are your three options that don't include drinking until 3am : Coca-Cola Museum, CNN tour, and Aquarium
2. There are homeless people outside of every hotel/bar/restaurant entrance waiting to give you directions or walk you somewhere. Then they violently demand money when you reach your destination. The first night drunk, lost and in the rain I appreciated this service. The fifth night I was unhappy with the swarming.
3. Also sometimes the homeless men give you a pansy out of their back pack and expect payment. Thanks to Tim from Wacker Neuson for buying me the homeless pansy. The first flowers of the year I have received from a guy.
4. They sell pantie hose in the bathroom out of a tampon dispenser at Hooters.
5. David the cater waiter called me princes and followed me around every meal during our company meeting. I always had coffee but was also being chased in front of co-workers and mgmt

On the Date-o-nomic down turn: I think the market conditions are beginning to improve. I met two nice guys one in the airport and the other at a bar... who I'm sure I would date if they lived in the area. However Baltimore and Sacramento does not a dater make... However MBandit did end up coming on my business trip surprisingly...
