A trip to Clyde's...

Has anyone ever been to the Clyde's Restaurant in Potomac, Maryland? It's a pretty lavish restaurant, with elaborate festooning and (I hear) wonderful food!

I had to go there to pick up a gift card to give as a gift to one of our church members, and saw some 'new' thing...

First, I got off the interstate and knew I'd have to make a U-turn at the first light. But, I approached the light and there was a "no U-turn" sign. Alright. Made a left. At the end of the median, where I could have made a U-turn, there was another "no U-turn" sign. Alright. Made a left into the first neighborhood. At the first intersection, where the street is open enough to turn your car around, guess what was there? A "no U-turn on this block" sign!

Not the most user-friendly neighborhood.

But when I finally made it to Clyde's, the place was totally decked out for Halloween, with spider webs and autumn leaves EVERYWHERE. Again, elaborate festooning rules the day!

Beyond that, on my way out, I saw to elderly gentlemen approaching, one of whom was using a cane. I held the door open for them. The fellow with the cane went on, and his companion, another (spunky) man came up and said "You, my dear, are a perfect gentleman!"

Score.
