Worthless $Dollar
I remember when I could catch a bus downtown for less than a dollar, when I could get a gallon of gas for $1, and wash a load of laundry using four quarter coins, one dollar. Now a days I can't even get a cup of coffe for a dollar. The bus fare, one way ride cost $1.25 and for a transfer is $1.75. A load of laundry is $2.00 and a gallon of gas is over $3.00 and almost $4 in some areas.
The value of $1 dollar bill is becoming less and less. I remember a wise man once said, if you want the economy to crash, "Raise the Prices".
Laundrymat on Pio Nono Ave
I truly like my area. Many places are literally just a few minutes of walking distance. Just like this laundry mat. My washing machine is acting up and the weather is starting to drop. I needed to wash some clothes and a warm blanket for the chili weather at night. The washing machines are coin operated. And there is no coin machine inside the facility, you do have to go in next door to the pharmacy, who would be more than happy to exchange your dollars to quarters.
What I really like most about this place is they are open 7 days a week. Even though today is Thursday, I really need my blanket tonight.
Firey Sky in Macon Georgia
I snap this picture last Thursday in Macon, while walking after the rain subsided. Unusual but beautiful. It only lasted a few minutes and I was glad I snap these picture.
Bike friendly Macon
It's good to see Maconites are getting into more and more into biking. Not only its good for the environment, it's also good for your pockets and love handles. Macon is slowly but surely working on progressing the bicyclist community. I've been seeing more and more people on bikes and they are installing more bike zings (bikes parking lot). Now if they could just get the Macon police officers to pay attention to bikers, maybe they won't hit any more bikers, like they hit me during the summer this year. Yes, folks a police officer literally hit me while I was riding my bike, he said he didn't see my fat ass. Can you believe that!
Luckily I was ok and wasn't injured at all, my bike had a little bruise but I didn't see the severity of the damage 'till I got home, I guess I was too shaken up by the whole incident. Stupid me I didn't press charges.
Free Wi-Fi at Wendys in Macon
Found another spot that offers free wifi. So you can have a meal and surf the net. Yes, Wendy's fast food restaurant, located on Eisenhower Parkway in Macon now offers free wifi. And if you sit at the very back they have a couple of areas where you can even plug up your computer for extra power juice. Make sure you bring a sweater. I was there a couple of weeks ago and it did get cold. The environment is a lot cleaner and quiter than their competion next door at McDonalds. Plus I actually like their burgers and fries, unexpectedly Wendy's have better fries than McDonalds now. and the burger is definitely much juicer and taste better. Anyway head to Wendy for your next meal and free wifi.

The Best Tuna Sandwich in Macon Georgia
Where to get the best Tuna Sandwich in Macon? I would have to say Joshua Cup Coffee House. They really embodied the art to the Tuna Sandwich.
