Lego discovers that there is a reason it’s called “fine print”

Spent the entire evening trying to figure out the catches and clauses in trading in an iPhone for the latest one… Since today was the last day of the offer…

Though it technically is fall, it still hurts to see leaves falling… because of what comes next… winter…

“Leaves are falling, softly floating tumbling to the ground
Orange, red, brown, yellow, orange, tumbling to the ground”
– Leaves are Falling (Rebecca Frezza)

The social part of Navratri (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navratri) is Dandiya and Garba dances that take place. Dandiya Raas involve dancing in circles with sticks in the dancers’ hands… In the US, the dance usually takes place on weekends during Navratri (like this weekend)

Since Lego could not buy dandiya sticks from the Lego Store, he makes do with toothpicks 🙂

Look closely… Look very closely… Lego tries to capture the crescent moon over the lake…. Maybe a telephoto lens would have been a better choice!

Long day today with wake up at 5, scrambling 120 eggs for a group meeting…

… Atlanta. This is one of the new streetcars that was supposed to start service downtown Atlanta early summer. Months later, the streetcars are still parked in the yard, with a start date of end of this year or maybe next!

I think this is Lego’s last week in Atlanta, but he made sure he got a look at the streetcars – so what if they were in the yard, with this one trying to escape?

Continuing with history, Lego visits the childhood home of Martin Luther King, where he lived from his birth until 12

Having been in Atlanta for a while, Lego finally visits a Martin Luther King memorial

Lego (yes, he’s there in the bottom left) found a nice spot to get an unobstructed view of the skyline. He does feel particularly small today…

Not been to terminal C at nEWRark for a long time. The gourmet cupcake Crumbs store is still shut down – not sure if and when they will open again. The good news is that they received court approval to reopen stores…

… said the spider to the fly. The spider had spun a big web but retreated to his corner on the post. When Lego returned, the fly was gone. Did it fly away, or did the spider have his dinner?
