Directing Rain Water

I was up hiking on Runyon Canyon a few weeks ago when LA got a bit of rain. Since it's a big hill with lots of dirt, actions have to be taken to help prevent erosion. So they put all these sand bags up there to direct the water flow down the hill. The nice thing about the rain is it moves the loose dirt around and leaves more solid footing for going up and down the hills.

Food Disposal Location - The Office


Whenever anyone needs to get rid of junk food, they just bring it to the office. It disappears pretty quickly.

Coat Hanger in a Convertible

In the old days, I'd use the 'oh sh!t' handle to hang clothes from in the car. I have a newer car now that actually has a designated coat hanger hook next to the handle. But a convertible has neither. What it does have is the frame that supports the soft top and that provides enough hanging points.
