You know you're in LA (Part 2)...

When on your way to work in the morning, the three cars next to you are a Infiniti, Lexus, and Cadillac. Not only that, but everyone accelerates quickly off the line.

A high percentage of Toyotoa Prius drivers have a heavy right foot actually... counter intuitive considering they bought a vehicle designed to SAVE fuel and then they go wasting it. I can't help but snicker whenever I see one pulled over.

Yup, they're done



Showing cord and steel belt is a bad thing. I guess you can say I got the most out of them.

Slick roads

So I was in Vegas and there's a lot of newly paved blacktop. That stuff is slicker than ice!!! Probably a combo of being new with the heat forcing out the oils, and probably a good layer of dust on top. Either way, super slick.

Sleepy bird



I was staying at the Embassey Suites in Vegas and they had two swans in their pond. This one was sleeping. It was about 5:30am and when I first read the sign, I thought it said the swans were dangerous... I was very confused! And very sleepy still...

Yup.... that's what I did

Notice how in 2001, the unemployment rate crossed over to the high side. Yup, I went to grad school in 2002.

Neighborhoods in London



So I was flippin channels last night and 'Bend It Like Beckham' was on tv. I'd forgotten what a huge Indian and Pakistani population lives in England. First day I was in London, I went up to the Hyde Park area and was in a Lebanese neighborhood I think... Ate at this restaurant and hit up the internet cafe next door.
