9/11 was long ago but we still feel the repercussions. However some of them are pointless. For instance, in the 4th of July, while walking through downtown, Ricardo was taking some photos of a skyscraper when a police officer warn him not to take photos to the building “because of 9/11”.

The officer didn’t warn us all, just Ricardo which was the nearest, but still…what’s the point?

Here’s the building 🙂

Eating contest, or competitive eating (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eating_contest) is very popular in the US. Pittsburgh celebration of the 4th of July included one and I was there…not eating, just watching, although I wouldn’t mind a free “meal”.

It is kinda gross to watch, as the contesters do some weird movements with their heads to facilitate swallowing that looks like they are going to puke..
