Tail of Irony: Slaps

I watched this race about a month ago. Max Papis slapped Billy Johnson. I didn’t like what I saw. I thought that was messed up.

 

Then this weekend, the unthinkable happened. Max Papis got slapped by a girlfriend of another driver (not Billy Johnson’s). He’s got hit very hard that it dislocated his jaw. Nascar world is buzzing around this incident right now. I am very interested in seeing what’s going to happen. There are many people angry at this girl. (furious)

Anyway, I see the irony in this whole thing. Maybe Max Papis started the chain of slaps that getting slapped was inevitable.

I didn’t buy anything exciting. I mainly went to Costco to look at Christmas stuff. This Christmas season will be over before we know

I cannot get enough of these hot wings.

Honey Roasted Nut Mix looked interesting. They were good. I finished the whole can in a week.

Bought 2 doormats (World’s Best Outdoor Mat). They were really good so I bought 2 of them.

I also bought a jar of Costco Mixed Nuts and a gallon of Orange Juice.

After eating a hotdog and putting gas in the car, I went to Wal*mart, ROSS, and Smart and Final.

Ful Backpack Review – It Cut Me (drew blood)

It happened on the morning of April 25.

As I put something in my backpack, I felt a sharp pain. My backpack cut my hand. This over 1-inch long cut drew blood. 

I cut my hand as I pull my hand out. 4 months later, on August 25, I have a scar I don’t think will go away.

Inside the Ful backpack, there is a Velcro with a plastic label. I got cut on the corner of that label. I guess it’s a freak incident. I wonder how many other people had a similar experience.

Update 2021 – 8 years later, I still have a scar from that cut.

Christmas time is here at Costco. I am happy and excited.

My new job is much less stressful, so I will have time to enjoy this holiday season. I will not spend a lot of money this year. There will be no Christmas tree. I am carefully saving money for next Christmas (2014). I plan to buy a car with whatever cash I saved.

Have fun. Don’t complain that it’s too early for Christmas. Don’t be that person who complains, but be the person who enjoys Christmas in August.

I bought one more coffee grinder. (picture below) One on the left is the new one. I need 4 coffee grinders for  4 coffee flavors I enjoy.

  1. Coffee for Weekdays
  2. Coffee for the weekend
  3. Espresso (fine grind, set for percolator)
  4. Coffee of the season (flavored, decaf, etc.)

Peet’s Coffee made an appearance at my Costco warehouse. It’s Major Dickason’s Blend. This is one of my favorite coffees and much better than Starbucks Coffee. I like McDonald’s and Wendy’s coffee better than Starbucks Coffee. Starbucks Coffee is too acidic… bitter.

And I bought some snacks and quick dinner items.

* Update: A few days later at work, I visited my co-workers’ office. I had my coffee mug with me. I was sitting about 10 feet away from them (2 guys). We were talking about STD and pregnancy (guy talk). One of them interrupted our conversation and said, “Your coffee smells good.” “It’s Peet’s” I smiled.

Update 2021 – Pete’s coffee is my only coffee now. No more expensive coffee for me. And no more espresso. I drink flavored coffee sometimes.
