Sunday: Surprise Sunday?

I couldn't decide between burger and ramen for lunch.  Both are equally close to a Safeway, and I needed to get some groceries there today.  Burger ended up being the decision, as it's closer and requires less driving on poorly planned streets.  I built my own burger, which ended up working well, but for different reasons.

The players in this story.

I wanted to try one of their burgers with the kalua pork, but they all had other things that I didn't want (bacon + ham + pork + a burger seemed a bit too much).  However, they had the pork on the sides list, so I got that to stuff it in the burger myself.  Long story short, next time I go there, I think I'm just going to get their kalua pork sandwich because that was really good.

On the way home, I heard this song ("Hikare" by Yuzu) on the radio.  Listen to the first 20 seconds or so.  It's not just me, right?  That totally sounds like "Let it Go."  There's a bit later that does as well, but I don't feel like tracking down the timestamp.  Most of it doesn't, but that main chorus line really does.

Then I got home, and was surprised by someone knocking on my door.  Which doesn't happen.  Like ever.  I'm 10 floors up, and you have to go through a locked door and up an elevator that requires a key as well.  However, instead of being a ninja (which was a bad thought in hindsight.  Ninjas are sneakier than that.), it was a guy from Health and Human Services, who was there to do a survey.  I should have gotten a letter in the mail about it, but I generally only check my mail when I'm expecting a package from Amazon.

In any case, I was randomly selected to take part in part of a survey, and then randomly wasn't selected to take part in the second part of the survey.  So.  Yeah.  That happened.

• Ok, scroll down to the Niagara Falls one.  You're supposed to look at the first one, and then the second one, and be all "oh, this is all a lie and commercialized."  Except, no (well, "not really" is more accurate).  The first picture is of the American Falls.  It's part of the Niagara Falls State Park, which was the first state park in the US.  Because of that, it's been protected and run by a park service, and generally kept the way you would want things to be kept.  The pull back to the second picture shows the Horseshoe Falls, which are largely in Canada, and therefore outside of the park.  The foreground land (and casino) are also part of Canada, and as you can see from the map, the Canadian side is far more commercialized and tourist-trappy than the American side.
