It should seem like a bad idea when...

So I'm leaving my favorite coffee shop and there are a couple guys in the small parking lot with an R/C helicopter. It appears to be the first time the one guy has ever tried to fly a R/C helicopter. Note, this is a small parking lot full of cars, surrounded by buildings on three sides, with the main street on the fourth side. So, said newbie tries to get the helicopter to take off. He takes off too fast so he tries to reduce the power at which point the helicopter almost hits a few cars. So, new pilot guy applies too much power in trying to not hit the cars. The helicopter launches towards the street with cars driving by. Fortunately, there are a couple really big palm trees in the way and the helicopter smashes into one at about 30mph or so and falls onto the sidewalk in a few pieces. The whole flight only lasted about five seconds.

Making coffee the old fashioned way

If you go to a Vietnamese restaurant and order coffee, sometimes you'll get it like this:



The coffee grounds are in the strainer and you pour boiling water in it. It takes a few minutes for it to 'brew'. I guess this was adopted from the French back in the day.

Dodger Stadium is really tall!

Distractions while cooking

They're bad. I over-cooked my chicken and now it's dry. I've burnt some veggies into a pan before and set off the fire alarm.

Always the same gym outfit

I find it interesting that I see some regulars at the gym always wearing the same type of clothes. Sure, they'll change colors, but it's the same stype. There's one girl that always has on full length, skin tight running style pants and always has a long sleeve shirt warped around her waist to cover her butt. There's an indian guy that always wears a wife beater, shorts, and knee high socks. Another European looking guy always with loose pants and a v-neck shirt. I see these same people 4-5 times a week and they're always wearing the same style clothes. And there are many other examples. I don't get it. I at least swap between shirts with sleeves and sleeveless. Ha!
