Santa Ana winds

So instead of the wind coming off the ocean and blowing inland, the Santa Ana winds blow west from the desert. And it's freakin hot here in LA. And I don't have A/C because no housing near the ocean has A/C. It's hot.

Unintended community dontation

Around these parts, we have street sweeping. If you car is parked on the side of the street the day it is be swept, generally between the hours of 9am-12pm, you get a ticket. Well, I forgot to move my car one day and contributed $40 to the community. That's my donation for the year!

Another funny bone

It took 31 years for me to find it, but I found another funny bone. It's in the ankle. I hit it on one of the legs of my rolling chair at work and it sent a good shock through the nervous system.

Craziest people alive, Isle of Man TT competitors

The Isle of Man TT is a motorcycle race that takes place on the Isle of Man (appropriately named right?). I've known about the race for a while and this years race was recently on HD Theater (absolutely amazing watching this stuff in HD).

It uses ~37 miles of public roads that wind through the country side and through the small towns in the Isle. The AVERAGE speed of the fastest guys is 130mph hitting top speeds of up to 200mph! These guys ride on the ragged edge and it's no surprise death is not uncommon.
