What a long day! It started about 4:45AM when the power went out. Lots of beeping and I set an alarm on my phone just in case. Fortunately, the power came back on at 8:30, before I had to leave for the airport, and all my computers seemed to power on OK.

The burger was good, on the small side, but when they said large fries they meant large fries!<\/p>\n

And that’s day zero for me!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
