I saw Milky Way

I drove 8+ hours (round trip) to see Milky Way for the first time in my life.

Now that I think back, I believe I have seen the Milky Way several times in the past – I just didn’t know what I was looking at.

Milky Way looks like streaks of cloud. It doesn’t look anything like what you see in photographs. I used my point-and-shoot camera for the below picture and digitally enhanced it. I can take much better pictures with my professional equipment, but my trip was not about photography.

I went to Joshua Tree National Park (CA), and I was disappointed to see glowing city lights all around us. It was darker than my neighborhood, but not by much. I have been to darker places in my past. I need to research more and visit darker locations. Next time, I will bring my professional cameras.

If you live anywhere in the world that’s very dark at night, please let me visit you. I will pay for the room.

The Brussels sprouts I bought last time were not very good. This bag was good. I mixed them with mini potatoes and fried them with oil and butter. I seasoned them with salt, pepper, and some rosemary from the front yard. It came out OK.

Ruta Maya Organic coffee is good. It’s really good. You cannot find them at the Costco warehouse. They are only available on the Costco website.

I don’t understand why Starbucks Coffee is so popular. You get better-tasting coffee at fast-food restaurants such as McDonald’s, Wendy’s, and Burger King. So far, Ruta Maya is the best coffee I know. If you know of any other good coffee, please let me know.

32nd Costco shopping in 2018 – $29.03 (today) / $1765.55 (this year)

A jar of Jelly Belly ($13.99, Item #12173) was for yet another coworker of mine. She has a Jelly Bean dispenser on top of her desk. People from neighboring departments would visit her, say hi, and take some Jelly Beans. It was her signature routine for some time. Then she ran out of her Beans. A few weeks had gone by. No jelly, no beans…  She even put away her dispenser.

So, I put this Jar of Costco Jelly Beans on her desk when nobody was around. Her entire department couldn’t figure out who brought Jelly Beans.

Jelly Bean dispenser is back on her desk now.
