metawidgetToday I saw a pick-up truck with a rear spoiler almost as high as the cab.
I also ate some poutine at La Pataterie Hulloise. When I told my supervisor Elizabeth and I were going to look at houses in Wrightville, he exclaimed that it meant we would be close to there. The fries were excellent, but the gravy wasn't really my thing, being a little too like hot turkey sandwich gravy and not nearly blisteringly salty enough — they also have a secret vegetarian menu and fry their fries in vegetable oil, for any vegetarian Hullians out there (of which there may have been, as a pretty bohemian-looking car-load in a rusty little Honda came by for take-out, seemed to realize they'd forgotten one of their number, went away, came back and got their brown paper bags of casse-croûte goodness).
We also found some kitty litter made out of corn cobs at Maxi — Noisette has been using wheat-based stuff but it seems like a good idea to leave the wheat for folks to eat now (and the wheat stuff is hard to come by).
