Wassat?

There is no end to the cool stuff we can see if we have a chance to look (read: sit in traffic). Last Sunday we took a 15 minute drive that took an hour. Well, actually we only drove 15 minutes and we sat for the rest of the time. This is one of the things we saw.

This seems to be a sort of bicycle contraption that was modified to be a tea selling machine. Probably people sit around and talk about the "good ole days" when the tea man would ride by on his bike and you could get a cold glass of sweet tea for a nickel. Now he is on a motorbike and the tea costs a dime.

For those of you reading in Ohio or Washington, sweet tea is God's favorite drink. It's made with tea, water and just the right amount of sugar. By the way the "right amount" is however much you can get to dissolve in said water. I am not sure what the saturation point would be but that is what you aim for :-)!!

We got a glass of iced tea here the other day. It's a little different here since the sugar is added later but not like sugar is "added" to tea up north where it just lays in a pile at the bottom of the glass. Here the sugar is dissolved in water and added to the problem (unsweetened) tea. Well, since the density is different our sweet tea came to the table and the bottom third was clear--nothing but sugar water!! Then going up, the tea got darker. When stirred it was delicious. When the bill came and it was a dime it was HEAVENLY!!
