Hi Everybody!
21.Feb.2013
"Go Cubs! (I have that license plate frame too!)" I mouthed the first thing to a lady in the Trader Joe's car park the other day as I walked to my Jeep. As we were going the same way after leaving the lot, it occurred to me that she might see me in her mirror and think I wanted to talk more about (our) favorite team. I didn't; I just wanted the direct route home, and it seemed it was her route to her destination too.
I don't like being thought of as a stalker. Ever. Not in any regard.
So after I dropped Ez off at school and spun up "Master of Puppets" for my ride home, I saw that Internet-famous car with the M-ETALLIC-A license plate ... I did NOT roll down my window and say, "Ride the Lightning, Bro!!"
Tonight - House of Shields.
Peace out!
bye-ee!

Thank you very much!

Ez and I pulled into the lot at the ice rink at our normal time last week. We get there just after 1 pm to eat our burritos and watch the pick-up hockey game. The hockey players are the only cars (SUVs) in the lot and take up all the spaces near the entrance. And since both Ez and I have legs, we don't mind parking a row or so back and WALKING to the front door.
As I rolled past the parked cars, I noticed there was a parking space nearish the front that had been coned-off. There wasn't a gaping hole or anything that I could see, just some gravel on the ground in the spot. Whatever! Someone had coned it off and that was good enough for me.
So we did our normal Thursday skating. And dang but our burritos were good! It's time to go when Ez finishes his lesson and the rink fills up with both public skaters and those taking group lessons, which start at 4p. When it was time, we unlaced our skates, packed up and went to the parking lot.
Walking to our Jeep, I noticed the coned-off spot was still vacant (except for the cones) but as I watched, a black SUV pulled up and a short, round woman popped out, slyly looked around and moved the cones. Looking all around her, she got back in her SUV and pulled into the now unconed spot. I shook my head in disgust.
I'm sure that scenes like this are repeated over and over, all day, every day and everywhere. People think they know better than, well, anyone else about, well, everything else. Like whether a parking space near the front needed to be coned off or not, or if it was okay to park in.
I waited a tic and watched her unload her little round skaters. She continued to look around to make sure she got away with it. I watched just long enough to note that a Karmic 500 Ton weight did not fall from the sky and land on her, her little round skaters and her black SUV ... right smack on the spot the two little cones had been restricting almost everyone else from parking in.
Damn.

Take care that you understand the shopping list yr little wife hands you when you tell her you will stop at the "What Me Woori" (Asian) grocery store on the way home.
Kim chi: Chi Check
Sushi: Shi Check
Soy Sauce: Check
Black Bean Paste: Hard to find, but Check.
Buns from the bakery: Check.
Yeah. The last two items were supposed to be one item: Black bean paste buns from the bakery.
What are we going to do with 500 grams of fermented black bean paste?
I got an item for myself.
I'll let you know what it is and how it is.
Tonight - Latin American Club
