What's up Dan, haven't seen you in a while. Glad to see you.
Great pictures of everyone spending time with their kids. I can't wait until we can get outdoors too (without freezing).

Why ATM or PIN? Automated Teller and Personal Identification right?
A PIN number is a Personal Identification Number number.
A UPC code is a Universal Product Code code.
And a Hot Water Heater heats up hot water.
And a two-wheel bike is a bike with two wheels.

Yes, I know that.... but I wanted to know why Tom dislikes the abbreviations for them so much?

Because of the redundancy of the last word in the abbreviation.
For what it's worth, the use of "hot water heater" might be regional. I've always just said "water heater" as I guess that's how I've always heard it.

Oops, I totally missed that. I need to start reading more carefully.

The MAC thing is probably regional too. I grew up in Northeastern Pennsylvania and every other place that I've lived the usage of this acronym (money access center) has gotten me some pretty dumb stares.

Always called it a hot water heater in Central Illinois. Except when the neighbors' hot water heater exploded. Called that one Saturn 5.

Amtrak return after an awesome ride and nearly-as-awesome meal of Indian cuisine in San Diego's Gaslamp district.

Howdy! Yes, doing pretty well. I got wrapped up in my last job to the point of loosing my health, fitness and some of my sanity. But, I no longer work there, so I'm feeling better. I'm looking forward to jumping back on the bike. But I only have a short time in the area. Me and the family are moving to California as soon as the house sells. Holiday76 needs some company out there.

Justin do you prefer soda or a bottle of pop with your water heater?

Neither. It's common in Kentucky and many other areas further south to simply hear "Coke" or "Pepsi" as a catch-all for any flavored, carbonated drink. It's like "Who's On First".
"Would you like a Pepsi?"
"Yes, thanks."
"What would you like?"
"Um. . . "
Personally, I think I may have grown out of that habit. I think if I refer to a drink like that these days it's pretty specific.
