Mulled Marc

After months with no word about where in West Michigan we can expect SONIC to pop up, the Grand Rapids Press has new information. According to a July 16 news article the planned location for the first West Michigan location (supposedly the East side of the state beat us to the first Michigan location) is just off 54th Street and Clyde Park. For those familiar with the area, it would be near the Stake and Shake that is in front of Menards. It’s also across the street from the first Meijer I worked at when I moved to Michigan.

So, now we wait again. In the meantime, the nearest SONIC to West Michigan is now in South Bend, IN. It’s just under two hours, and if you’re heading to Chicago it doesn’t add significantly to the trip (or round-trip if you need to stop twice). Not saying we’ve done this, but I will say that I have a very patient and understanding wife. If you stop, bring me back a SuperSONIC Breakfast Burrito and a Cranberry Coke (it may sound weird, but I’m sure Cherry Coke sounded weird when it was first invented).

This is a post from Gizmodo that Marc ran across on his RSS reader. He thought was interesting enough to share, but couldn’t be bothered to write actual content about it.

Well, I’m going to try something new. I setup this blog to share my worthless thoughts (everyone else does it) along with things I ran across that I found interesting. While I run across a lot of interesting things, I apparently have near zero motivation and never post about them. I’m sure I have impressive numbers of deep thoughts as well, but they appear to be so deep that I’m not even privy to them – or I’m lazy (see above).

This is why I’m trying something new. I still read hundreds if not thousands of blog post and news articles a day and a smattering of these are actually worth reading. To this end, I setup my RSS reader so I can quickly post articles to my blog that I found interesting, enlightening, bizarre, etc and posts that are likely messages from off-world.

This won’t increase the quality of this blog, nor will it make it worth reading. It will, however, allow me to fulfill one of the original missions of my having a blog – sharing things I read that I believe are worth sharing. Perhaps in the future I will fulfill the other mission and actually post original mulled content.

This new type of post will be by the author LazyMarc. If you wish to follow my blog, but are not interested in the interesting part, you can just follow the posts by Marc.

Enjoy!
