Dandelions

I love that spring is here. I love the flowers blooming, the new clean, green, young leaves and the best part, the sun shows its face more now.
The other thing I notice this year is the crazy amount of feathery dandelion puffs floating around, on the roads. Not sure if there is as many in Canada or if there were always so many, but this year, I am just seeing tons of it.
Its kinda neat, though not so cool for those who are allergic.

Oh... I was eating sea-weed the other day when it occured to me that seaweed is just weed in the sea. But I have no idea what the different kinds are. I think the thin one you wrap sushi with are different that the ones you put into soup and quite different from those used in lotions, beauty products. I wonder if there is a kind of seaweed that can make you high as well.
haha...

Whoops

I drove to work, picked up my lunch from the passenger side of my car and then went upto to my office. Maybe 5 mins later, 2 of my co-workers came to my office to tell me I left my car door on the passenger side open. I immediately ran down to lock my car up. Thank goodness my car stands out in my building. And hopefully, this will be the first and last time I leave my car door wide open.

Model employee or annoying server?

I went to a coffee shop to get a drink and sit down to read. This relatively loud and chatty girl came to ask me what I wanted. Anyways, she was suggesting this and that. Plus, telling me it was $.50 to upgrade to bigger cup, and if I wanted a cookie with my drink. A good model employee I would say.
However, when I sat down not far from the counter to read, her voice just kept penetrating my space. It was high pitched and loud. It didn't help that she was constantly talking. I got annoyed and had to move to a far far corner of the shop. I mean, its not like she did anything wrong, but the noise was just getting to me. Maybe I was being super sensitive.

Here's a thought. Can a person really know everything? I mean there is so much information out there and I don't think its possible for one to fit it all in their heads. I know the mind is a powerful thing, but how much can your brain holds before you need to free up space to remember/learn other things. Plus, the time you need to absorb all information.
Can a computer hold all information then? Maybe if there is enough space and there better be a damn lot.

Gas price is so high. =(...
Just when you think it can't go higher, they prove you wrong. I went from paying $20+, to $30+ to $40+ for a tank. Crazy!

Careless driving

I almost got crashed into last night. It was a scary experience.
I was almost home, making a left turn at the light. I know it was green for me, because the person on the right of the intersection had stopped. As I was turning, with half my car into the intersection, I see this car zooming in. Shocked, I braked and apparently, the driver in the other car just saw me and he braked too. But he was going to fast, he skidded a little to his left, away from my direction (thank goodness). He stopped, for barely 1 second and then took off.

Anyways, I have a rough picture drawn out to show you the positions.
A - my car
C - offending car
B - witness car (that stopped on red)
I have added the lights to show you right of way and traffic rules that applied during the time.

Blunt

Usually I'd talk about being blunt and to the point, but not now. I am talking about Mr James Blunt. I went to his concert a while ago. He is good live and even better doing a piano solo of "Goodbye my lover".

I think I am getting addicted to concerts of good singers.

Pay our dues

I've been reading about the bird flu, its spread and how we are not equipped to handle a wide outbreak right now. It is funny how an article says "based on historical cycles, humans are DUE for a widespread influenza pandemic".
Its funny how we have scientists working and churning out all these medicines to help us prevent and cure some diseases but then we always have new types of emerging diseases. Its like we're always going to be one ill society, no matter how much we work towards getting better.
Well, it is not as gloomy as it sounds. We do have much better health care now. I mean at least we know the sickness we have, we do try to come up with a solution and we often do. It is a lot better than before.
