Geek Fest, Part 2

Well, we did get to see the Star Trek movie, though not last weekend. We both really liked it - how they handled the alternate reality thing, how the crew was brought together (I knew who McCoy was before he was introduced, LOL, and OS ST fans will know how and why), and Spock's dialogue at the end (among other things).

This weekend we were on a car tour with the local group of the Horseless Carriage Club. Pics will be posted as soon as my cell phone recharges - if nothing else, just for the shot of (an) REO Speedwagon. The truck, not the band. ;) We also had a good visit at the Dublin Dr. Pepper bottling plant (the first, and the only one still doing granulated cane sugar). Now, I never really cared for Dr. Pepper. I could drink it, but it wasn't something I'd choose. What a DIFFERENCE the real sugar makes! I think I'm glad it's not easy to get, because wow. I like. So I did buy a case while I was there (it's still in the trunk of the FIL's Studebaker - have to pick it up tomorrow). You can order some here. Seriously worth it.

Mom - I'm planning to put some aside to bring up with me when we go up to visit. Bringing real-sugar Dr. Pepper up, taking Winery at Wolf Creek wine back - hee! Wish *they* shipped. Oh well!
