Coolest ATM ever!

Afternoon,

Another update from the country of the huge portions. I made the mistake again last night at dinner to order a starter and a main course. What I had forgotten that here in the US ( By the way, I am now in South Carolina in a place called Santee on the edge of Lake Marion...) that for example when you order a salad for starter you don't get just a few green leaves and some olives... No, you get about 4 heads of lettuce, 5 or 6 whole onions, a few farms full or carrots etc etc... So after I had that I was having trouble eating my half cow (steak)... Never mind, at least they aren't stingy like the french...

The picture below was something I spotted when I was driving around Louisville trying to find a Best Buy store to buy a laptop charger for my brother in law. Next to the Wendy's there was a drive-in ATM. How lazy can ya git?

So for people that can't be bothered to get out of their car they have made an ATM you can drive up to.... Amazing? What ever next? Drive-in bars? Drive-in whorehouses?

Cheerio,

Alex in South Carolina.

Louisville Kentucky...

Afternoon all,

I'm on my travels again. At the moment I am in Louisville, Kentucky. I'm here to do a short job for a Cemex customer that has a system on the blink. The work is going well but as usual I have brought crap weather with me. Right now it is pissing down, thundering and there is a serere weather warning in place.

I think I again have confirmed the fact that the name Rainman is apt for me. I have had rain in Saudi Arabia in the desert, I have had it pissing down in the Mojave desert in California and now this place.

It started out this morning hot as hell, 90 degrees with 80% humidity, pretty unpleasant... But now rainman strikes again. See the piccie below. Its the weather warning for right now...

That nice orange blob on the doppler radar is right outside my hotel. Never mind, there is a bar downstairs that does cold Corona so I don't care. I don't even have to leave the hotel to score a cold one, bring it on!

On sunday I leave for Holly Hill in South Carolina so for anybody reading this that lives there, enjoy the sun, its gonna end on sunday when I arrive!

Take Care,

The Flying Dutchman.
