The other day I was heading home from work, and I noticed that the McDonald's on one of the surface streets near the interstate was having a new sign installed. I almost ran off the road. You see, the old sign had been destroyed by Hurricane Gustav back in August of '08. All that was left of the sign was the top portion of the arches and the frame itself. The sign was pretty much hollow. In January of this year, I decided to keep an eye on that sign as I passed it every day. I wanted to see how long it would take before it was replaced/repaired. Every afternoon as I creeped along the interstate at 5mph, I'd check out the McDonald's sign. After a few months of this, I determined that whenever the new sign went up, it would be a huge deal to me since it would end my little daily watch. Well, it finally happened. Last week on my way home, there it was...a shiny new McDonald's sign. I did a little celebration dance in the driver's seat. The funny thing is that the new sign went up just in time for the start of the 2009 hurricane season!
Okay, time for me to get to work. Yeah, I'm a slacker.
