my kind,generous, only, brother, let me hold on too a few bikes(he's not really ,& being a bit sarcastic), however bch cruiser-

can't beat it in the summer months , i have forgotten how much i love riding my bike, just took it out for a few minutes , around the neighborhood, but you can be damn sure on my off day , i will be on a south bay beach path , or better yet throw it in my mini-van and venture to Orange County or something, Venice maybe, that's always the greatest place to see the diversity of the folks in Los Angeles , rather a posh beach community like Manhattan beach.. anyway if your not a bike rider , you should be , it's a lot of fun , i actually did away with my ten year old racing bike (bought when i lived in Hermosa beach) gave it to the goodwill, my brother probably won't take these bike backs , or i won't let him (he owes me , believe me) . anyway get some cars off the road and get a bike , pay attention, be safe , i just came across a car  at a stop sign , what do i do ? well i go around the BACK of the car, not the front of the car! just like pedestrians  in the city . you should always do that, it's common sense. because sometimes the driver might be looking the other way, and just pull out.. but folks actually walk in FRONT of my car ( i am on the road constantly) anyway , take it easy, and have a fun safe summer , what ever your extracurricular activities may be.    :).

OK i realize some of you may and some of you may not...

be interested where i ventured this week on the road, well this application is tricky , cause some of you may want to know, and others well, could give a hill of beans.. so here it is if you are:)


-Ralph's downtown - gotta check out the cork and tap - one of the two stores (currently)that have them in the store,  basically you can have a beer or a glass of wine right smack in the middle of the supermarket- great concept.. i was working so no li·ba·tion for me :(.

-Cafe Rio in Manhattan Beach always get the  "Barbacoa" (pork) it rocks, they are a chain out of Utah i believe...

-Carl's Jr. in Anaheim - like their new promotional item the Jalepeno popper as a side.

-Wacky wok in MDR or is it Venice? - usually frequent the Lax location , but i happened to be in the MDR area.

-Denny's at the Burbank Airport - they have a fairly new food court right by the airport that has different types of restaurants . i felt like a old style American diner that night.

-Wetzel's pretzels - does this count as a meal?- got a pretzel at the Howard Hughes center- kind of by Lax.
-French Market place in West Hollywood - did you know they have the same menu as the Kettle in Manhattan Beach :) and finally
- Einsteins Bros in Torrance - 
and i think i hit up a taco bell by my apt.

my playlist today at health club.

funny how the music seemed in sync with the girls in the exercise class next to me -when i was on my Elliptical especially songs - Stevie Wonder -boogie on reggae woman & Tears for Fears-Pale Shelter-
The Hurting (music is a universal language i would say) :).

book recommendation for the latest virus threat.

was a thing out of  a science fiction novel  when i first read it- back about ten years ago (although it was a  tremendous threat, it wasn't prevalent ) when i first read this novel, anyway excellent  read for what is going on now. extremely unfortunate it is now started to surface .

What are the chances of this happening?

Well was hungry after my work shift last night.. finished my shift and considered going to Tito's Taco's on Washington pl. however changed my mind (Tito's was close to closing, it was close to the ten pm hour, so i thought would venture to a place that was open a bit longer and i didn't have to rush somewhere). So i headed back to closer to where i reside. Found the local Yoshinoya (i kind of live in the suburbs of Los Angeles) so it was quiet in the restaurant. decided to go into the dining room, rather than the drive thru.The dining  room was completely empty. There were no other quest's in the dining room and the restaurant was closing in a hour.As i surveyed the tables i picked the largest one in the dining room that sat like eight people. In the back of my mind i hoped a party of eight would not come into the dining room in this quiet area of the south bay .. ordered my meal got my soda and had a seat at the largest eight seater table in the restaurant. My food came out , after a few minutes a large van pulled into the parking lot and entered the restaurant and proceeded to the cashier . yes like 6- to 8 people and i was sitting at the largest table trying to relax and not rush (like i get rushed all week during my work week) Anyway WHAT ARE The Chance's of this happening? Anyway kind of sped up my meal (and i didn't really want to) as soon as i got up, Two of the teenagers sat at my table. Well not sure why i am posting this , it's just seems you can never get a break sometimes if you do something in the back of your mind( i mean there were smaller table's and i actually considered it for a moment) but i picked the one and the only largest table.. and sure enough, a large family pulled into the restaurant, kind of in a sense interrupting my  late dinner ( a big pet peeve of mine, when i sit down to eat it is the only time i don't like to be interrupted by a family coming into the restaurant , my phone ringing , or work calling )Well what can you do?next time maybe i won't pick the biggest table in the dining room for myself!
