Another Monday and another long hurricane season ahead. We are really lucky to live in a part of the world that doesn't get hurricanes. We only have to deal with snowstorms, ice storms, and mud. Seriously though, when looking around at other parts of the country and the weather they have to deal with (mudslides, tornadoes, etc) we really should count our blessings.

Jaw dropper of the day: If you are afraid of the dark this is one restaurant you don't want to go to. Dans Le Noir (In The Dark) is a restaurant in Paris that serves people in the dark. It's the third such restaurant in Europe where customers order and eat their food in the dark. To make their way to the bathroom they must rely on staff, many of whom are actually blind. The restaurants were opened with the help of the charity, Action For Blind People. It's meant to give people a taste of what it's like to be blind. It's a real restaurant only there are no lights. I think the idea of not being able to see what is being eaten is freaky. And I'd want to know if the cooks are blind too. Can THEY see what they are cooking? It's a family friendly restaurant and kids are welcome too. Just remember to be respectful of the other people eating and keep your voice down.

Wherever you are today, enjoy it.
