'The Mack' at Rays Hell Burger

I'd seen ppl check in here on brightkite and reviews on yelp so I was curious to try it out.

Rays Hell Burger
1713 Wilson Blvd
Arlington, VA

I ordered the Value Deal, which was 'The Mack' with a side, I chose the cheesy tater puffs, and a rootbeer for $10.91.   It was a good burger.  That's all I can say about it, nothing bad but no interesting flavors, just a very reliable burger.  The cheesy tater puffs were pretty flavorless though, don't bother ordering them.

Would I come back?    Welll....I wouldn't _not_ come back, but it's a one hit shop so only if I was close and wanted a burger.

Pizza and cupcakes in georgetown

OMG!  This will kill me.  Vincent and I walked into Georgetown to try Georgetown Cupcakes only to discover it is closed today.  Next door to it is a cheesesteak and pizza shop though!  We suspect they serve some kind of _awesome_ meat shakes too, we must check it out later. 

But cmon, pizza next to cupcakes??  Who could resist?!

Timely turn of events for 'clean coal'

Clean Coal Myth Shattered

Coal Ash Spill Revives Issue of Its Hazards

QUOTE:
The Tennessee Valley Authority has issued no warnings about the potential chemical dangers of the spill, saying there was as yet no evidence of toxic substances. “Most of that material is inert,” said Gilbert Francis Jr., a spokesman for the authority. “It does have some heavy metals within it, but it’s not toxic or anything.”

...

Despite numerous reports from recreational anglers and television news video of a large fish kill downstream of the spill, Mr. Francis said the T.V.A.’s environmental team had not encountered any dead fish. On Swan Pond Road, home to the residences nearest the plant, a group of environmental advocates went door to door telling residents that boiling their water, as officials had suggested, would not remove heavy metals.

Todays travels

Went to Earls and had french toast with maple sausage. It was fair but not as good as I'd expect for eating out. I'll stick to sandwiches I think.

GPS tracker and instamapper

There's a nifty application for the G1 called 'GPS Tracker' that is made by or works in conjunction with instamapper.com. It enables the GPS for the G1 and tracks your position and sends it to your account at instamapper every 1 minute or more frequently when you are moving faster than walking. It's neat because it let me see some of the range I cover just riding my bike for errands and how far I actually travel. I'll post all of my tracks here now and then add new ones as I make them.
