Mmmm, carpet!

Ray and I agree that the San Jose suburbs look like New Jersey, but cleaner and with palm trees. There are tons of chain restaurants and strip malls here.

Some other observations:

This place is called MMM Carpet. "Mmm, carpet!" Sounds filthy.

We also saw a Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm-Flailing Tube Man. This is not it, because I couldn't get my camera out in time. But this is a reasonable facsimile.

We also saw a giant metal Tyrannosaurus Rex on the side of the road.

Do you know the way to San Jose?

Well, Ray and I have accomplished our number one goal in our trip to San Jose. Because, you know, the client meeting is secondary.

When we pulled up to In-N-Out, we both heard angels singing. No joke. I housed my double double, animal style fries and vanilla shake and it was heavenly. Oh. yeah, you bet your ass we both took photos of the food on our trays.

This is my double double with animal style fries and vanilla shake.

Ray's double double with fries and a Coke.

Now I'm at the Fairmont, groggy from the long day of travel (woke up at 4am) and all the junk food in my tummy. The view from my window is amazing (you'll have to take my word for it). I bet Ray's is even nicer, he's 8 floors up from me. We're having an early dinner with the folks from TiVo (just what I need, more food) and then we've got a long meeting with them tomorrow morning.

Here is Ray eating his Double Double:

And here is the view from my hotel room. Purdy, huh?
