A friend just messaged me about a new restaurant hiring servers, hosts, all kitchen positions, and an experienced assistant manager. If you are interested in working at The Toasted Ampersand Bar & Grill + Market and More, let me know and I'll put you in touch.
One of my mentors instilled in me an intense dislike of ampersands, so it's especially annoying to me.
Some have lobbied for the inclusion of these two restaurants, which are within the Ampersand District, but that's a controversial position for obvious reasons:
1. Flora and Fauna
2. Moss + Oak
Others advocate extending the district's boundary south so that it would include Colleagues & Lovers.
These are, somehow, the names of five local restaurants:
1. Cotton & Rye
2. Marbled & Fin
3. Myrtle & Rose
4. Proof & Provision
5. Coco & Moss
They are all located between Victory Drive and River Street, which I will refer to as “The Ampersand District” from now on.
Good morning. These, somehow, are the names of four local restaurants:
1. The Toasted Barrel
2. The Toasted Yolk
3. Toasted Crust
4. Toast! All Day
Three are in walking distance of each other in Downtown Savannah, which I will refer to as “The Toast District” from now on.

And a pleasant commute back home!
Total distance from my house 3:11 miles. 🚲
4. The traffic signal at DeLesseps and Skidaway is still functional, so crossing was no problem at all.
5. Continued on LaRoche Avenue, which is the worst part of the route since the street is so narrow, and then turned left into campus.
3. The bike lane ends where the street is closed a couple blocks west of Skidaway Road, but it is passable by bike and since work there has paused, it's easy to get through.
1. I took Truman Linear Park Trail Phase 2B, which is not officially open, but people (like me) are already using it.
2. Turned east at DeLesseps Avenue using the new bike lanes, which do seem kind of narrow.

I am pleased to announce that I commuted to campus today almost entirely via new dedicated bicycle infrastructure. For Savannah folks who are interested, here's how I did it: 🧵

I need to try this one again. I get distracted by something every time I start watching it.
I noticed it was getting warm yesterday. I haven't been on campus today but I'm heading that way for my 6 p.m. class. Glad I have a fan on my desk.
This is how the Boston Tea Party started
"...data from the United States Geological Survey showing the water level bounced more than 19 feet in one Savannah well and 23 feet in another. The USGS has been measuring these wells since the 1950s, when water levels were not as high as they are now."
Wonderful ALT text.
On Tuesdays, my first class starts at 9:30 a.m. The last one, held across town from campus, ends at 8:45 p.m. That's why I am only now reporting this important news: The foundation repair crew working on a neighbor's house has this painted on their truck: "Crooked floors? We'll jack you up!"
Ugh. This drives me crazy. You would think REI would know better.
A one-sheet poster for "The Hunt for Red October." The colors are black and red with white type. At top left is a large three-quarter portrait image of the head of Sean Connery as Captain Marko Ramius, printed in red on a black background. Next to his left cheek, rising out of the red as though rising out of the ocean is a submarine conning tower. The tagline to the right reads, "The hunt is on." The title, top-line stars, and credits are printed in the lower third of the poster against a red background.
Today in 1990, “The Hunt for Red October,” adapted from insurance salesman Tom Clancy’s bestselling 1984 first novel, opened in theaters across the United States.
“This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we’ll be lucky to live through it.”
My first parade was in 1994. Every store on Broughton Street was serving beer. Even the Payless shoe store had a keg.
Fantastic! Congratulations!
