At periodic meetings for an org that I attend, they are usually very good at taking care of us vegans. However, this was the best that a Dallas Hilton could come up with this week. 😂

I assume the UnSweet is the vegan part (healthy is woke?). I dunno. The disdainful quote marks are the best part.
A sign from a Dallas Hilton meeting buffet saying “UnSweet Iced Tea “Vegan.”

I saw something about a #WindowsOnWednesdays tag, which reminded me of this one from July, 2014. This has changed a lot; I was walking by this spot yesterday.

Sorry about the odd toning; I don't know what I was doing there.
