How did I not notice it before?

Like the tell-tale bump of a third trimester pregnancy...

Two things:
1. The scrolling sign at the Express Lube at just past the BP at the Montgomery-Highway 12 intersection informs us that "Tuesday is Ladies Day!"  I've blankly stared at this sign almost every day, waiting for the light to change, and only today did I realize that I don't know what this means.  Will I get a discount if I roll up for an oil change tomorrow?  I'm just positive that crumpets and lace doilies be involved.

2. There is a little drive up building, between the barber shop and the shaved ice/beignet wagon, before the old armory, again on Highway 12, that has a little keypad thingy that, wait for it... dispenses bulk ice!  I think this is just great.  Like an atm for ice!  I wonder if these are normal around here.  I find it amazing.  Like the automated key-maker at the hardware store.  I'm trying to think of a good use for 200 lbs of loose ice (only $15!).  Transporting a sea lion?  Finally perfecting my cold fusion device?  A four-day sangria bender?  I'd have to find bulk oranges.
