Doctors and Tallahassee

So this time the doctor was much less traumatic. I got a referral to go consult with a surgeon, and the referral lady made the appointment for Xmas eve. I was like “seriously?”. She hadn’t realized it was Xmas eve though. Whatever. So she was trying to tell me where the doctor is, and she’s like “near the manatees” and I was like “what?” and she was all “if you go see the manatees and look confused like you do now, someone will come help you. There are elevators somewhere.” Thanks. That’s helpful. My boss told me where I’m going this morning. I think his wife works there. Apparently it’s a fountain. Like the dolphin statue fountain thing downtown.

I love Tallahassee. Downtown is so pretty, especially now that it’s Xmas. They put lights in the trees and it’s just so pretty. I love it here. I like to walk downtown. We usually go when there are craptons of people though. It’s nice to walk during the day when it’s cool outside. It’s really pretty in spring too when all the parks are blooming. But I seriously need to go to the top of the capitol building. I’ve never been. I want to see Tallahassee from above. Maybe we’ll go sometime. I’ll have to find out if it is open on Saturdays. I know the old capitol is, but I don’t know about the observation deck.

Sinkholes

A sinkhole opened up on Capital Circle yesterday. I like sinkholes, just not when they open under something important. Like the road, or Ryan’s house. Leon Sinks in the Apalachicola Nat’l Forest is pretty cool. If you go on the 3 mile hike, halfway is a beautiful sinkhole lake. I mean really pretty. In the summer it should be covered in magnolia blooms. So pretty. One of the last times I was there, I was by myself taking some pictures for my photo class. I was trying to get the same feel as Ansel Adams. Anyways, I got all freaked out thinking there were snakes and stuff and all of a sudden my phone buzzed and I just about threw it and ran away. The Gopher sink is really cool too. I could spend all day looking at the sinks.


This is the Capital Circle sinkhole. You can see the layers. How cool is that?
Here is a video from the Ukraine. It was on TV last night on the Destroyed in Seconds show. I love that show. It’s real close in my rankings with Project Runway and The Smoking Gun Presents shows and the Tornado Chaser show and MythBusters.



Speaking of Smoking Gun Presents, last night was a good one. The best was the catfish catching. “Instead of using a pole, you use your arm. And instead of using bait, you use...your arm.” lol
