I forgot to say “Happy Birthday” to our nephew Charlie yesterday, so…. “Happy Birthday!”
We met up with Curt in Lincoln for a Saltdogs baseball game, but first we went to dinner at Lazlo’s. It used to be called Fireworks, but something has changed. (Charles & Deborah, the big fireplace inside is gone.) What hasn’t changed are the amazing hand dryers in the bathrooms. They have such powerful blasts of air they’re like g-forces for your hands. I snuck my camera inside to take pictures, but of course they turned out blurry. Trust me, it’s worth going.
Brad says
Ha! I used the dryer in the men’s bathroom. It was like a jet engine! It was all I could do to resist putting my face under it.
Annette says
I think you met up with Curt to go to Lazlo’s, then went to a Saltdog game.
Lauren says
Ha -- those would be my priorities. I didn’t know about dinner until I came home and sat around for a while, then apparently I almost made us late.
Dana says
They have one of those at the Woodman’s grocery store here. Funny thing is -- my hands don’t dry any faster. Scares the crap out of my 3 year though.
Peggy says
Holy Hollow is right! That’s amazing … I do so want to try it … Did it have a heat control, ’cause if it had a cool setting, I’d love to live under it!
Lloyd says
The one in the guys restroom was a pleasantly cool hurricane force gale. It was also motion activated, so you didn’t have to push a button every three seconds.
Deborah says
So, is the old Lazlo’s still there too? So many changes. . . so many changes.
Lloyd says
Yeah, the two restaurants were always owned by the same people. Lazlo’s just has two entrances now.
Deborah says
I can almost see your haircut in that first picture.
Lauren says
It’s cleverly disguised, yes?
Kitt says
That dryer is a popular topic!

Yes these are great! The Xlerator makes all those other dingy white hand dryers seem like a pale chain smoker with emphysema.
Nice blog too! Are you guys in Lincoln? I recently passed through Omaha and up to Sioux Center, Iowa. Great people and a fun road trip.
