Surprisingly crowded

I think there were about 3 dozen people at my gym at 1am. I'm guessing that most of them were service industry types, so cooks, waiters, etc. There were probably about 15-20 guys on the basketball court.

Hmmmm.... (Google maps) upgrades



The traffic feature of google maps now shows the smaller streets in addition to the highways. In LA at least.

Breakfast Burrito!

Quite possibly one of the best inventions EVER! I had one for a late lunch; I had them put in eggs, ham, cheese, potatos, and some guacamole. I think it's a pretty good combo.

Trail of (airplane) lights

I was driving down the 405 south heading towards the airport (LAX). Generally, you'll see a string of 8 planes or so in a line on approach for landing.

Lots of rain... and a bit of snow!


So this radar image was from a few weeks ago. It's not often you see this in LA!

Sleepy hand

I have to be careful how I sleep; there are certain positions that will make my whole hand fall asleep. Sometimes, I'll wake up in time and it's only my pinky that has lost blood circulation. Unfortunately, I think I've already killed half the nerves in my pinky on my right hand.

Should've kept my old toys


This old school Optimus Prime was going for $300 in Singapore.

Low on gas = no hills

So I had about a gallon and a half of gas left in the tank and parked on a slight uphill. Next morning, I start the car and when I start to move, it stalls out! Crap, start the car again, really slowly accelerate and I can feel it starting to stumble again. Fortunately, I make it to where the street levels out.

I guess the fuel pickup in my gas tank is at the front and the hill combined with the slight acceleration caused the fuel to slosh away from the fuel pickup.

Singapore doesn't play around

On the immigration card to get into the country, in big bold letters, it says the penalty for smuggling drugs is death.

Bowling = sore?

So I went bowling for the third time or so in my life. My left hip muslces or something are a little sore. It works out some funky something or other that nothing else does. Biking, running, jumping, volleyball, football, none of those hit whatever it is that bowling got sore. Go figure.
