You Are What You Ate

Well, we're snowed in here in Greensboro, so you get a post from our bank of photos. Even though we have over 80 thousand photos on file, there are days we look through them and wonder what on earth we are going to post. Anyone who is on social media is probably tired of snow pictures, so we dug up this vanity plate. Greensboro's drivers have some pretty funny vanity tags on their cars.

The above Prius owner reminds us, "you are what you ate." This is definitely food for thought as we prod along dealing with winter weather. With most of Greensboro snowed in and shut down, the determining factor of "what you ate" hinges on 1) how the supply is holding out and 2) whether or not one has power. So, this vanity tag is a little more relevant when we are not snowed in and can drive all over Greensboro buying and eating whatever our budget allows. As for us, we didn't realize how much we would miss bananas. Happy snowy, January weather, dear readers. We hope you are safe.

Wouldn't it be fun to follow the owner of this car through the grocery store. Seriously, we might learn a thing or two!

I only recently saw a North Carolina plate up here- the First In Flight logo reminded me. It is rare, though; most American visitors here are coming from New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, or Massachusetts.

From the outside, it would be a curious thing to see how people of your area are dealing with what we'd see as just another winter storm.

We just returned from the grocery store, William. It was open and the manager had driven around to pick up his employees. Most, if not all, of the other businesses in the plaza with the grocery store were closed. Even Starbucks was closed!

Two neighbors had to stop and push my car into the driveway as it was stuck. Only 3-4" of snow, but a layer of ice on top. Somehow it is just harder to navigate down here.

Partly true I suppose...
