Sunrise...

It's another day here in Maryland. Another long night on the rock hard things called a mattress. I can't really say they are rock hard, because there is a little give in them. I almost think they built the beds out of plywood and then wrapped them in fabric. Also I thought my room was facing West, but when the sun was stabbing me in the eyes at 5am, I found out otherwise.
Anyways, Last night I drove around the Baltimore area for a little bit, got lost with the gps, and then went to eat at Ruby Tuesday's. (long story, will have to post that one later)

There are two things that I have notice about the people of this area more than anything else. First, they all LOVE sports. It doesn't matter what sport they are talking about but they all have their favorites. The people will go out of their way to talk to other people about sports. This includes cars stopped at stoplights, people sitting at different tables in a restaurant, or even during a training meetings. When I say talk about sports, They really talk about sports. From the stats of certain players, to who "their" team is scouting for the year. It's pretty interesting to see both men and WOMEN talk so adamantly about their "team". I made the mistake of wearing my Michigan State hat to a few places now and apparently I should be shot. Who knew that the Spartans were so disliked by this area.
Second, every one here LOVES crab. If you go to any of the restaurants, the first thing on the menu is crab or crab cakes. Do you have to like seafood just because you live by the sea? The answer is apparently yes. Luckily they still have other things to eat because if I had to eat seafood or crab I would end up starving to death. I wasnt born with the taste for fish. I have tried many different types of fish and many different ways to cook the fish, but I have always had the same results, it tastes like fish. YUCK. If there was a third thing that I have noticed, it would be that no one believes I am from UT, They say all the UTahn's have some strange accent. So I guess that is a good thing.
Well, I was going to add a few more stories to this long blog, but my alarm is going off which is telling me I need to get out the door to go learn some more exciting stuff from the NSA.
