Lessons Learned
Two quick notes here on things I discovered this week:
Coffee on a school night is not a good thing. Coffee on Friday or Saturday night is good. Coffee in the morning or early afternoon of a school day is pretty good too. I was up all night Sunday night after Krispy Kreme coffee.

Real lemonade is much better than Kool-Aid. After a couple of months of drinking the real stuff (they've been selling yellow lemons here since September), I realized after making some Kool-Aid that the freshly squeezed action is so much better. It's not as convenient, but worth the extra effort. As time goes on, I guess I'll make a decision on just how much inconvenience it's worth.

Big Day for Bad Drivers
This morning there was frost on my car. I guess it's getting around to that time of year: the cold season. It'll probably be good and cold by the time Thanksgiving gets here, which will make my trip to Acapulco (which I will hopefully be making during the Thanksgiving holiday) even nicer. I haven't been to the beach to swim since July 2004 in South Padre Island. I went to two beaches while I was in Korea, but it was too cold to swim. I wasn't dressed for swimming anyway.
I saw three wrecks this afternoon. I actually saw one happen live, right before my eyes. The first was a school bus that somehow ended up knocking down a telephone pole. It didn't look like it was too badly damaged though. I can't imagine what the driver had to be doing to wreck like that, except be driving way too fast. The second was the one I saw happen. This punk kid driving way too fast on Lomas Verdes lost control of his car while trying to weave through traffic. He lost it about 5 seconds after passing me going way too fast, but by that time he was well ahead of me. He ended up going across all three lanes twice before hitting another car. Everyone got out of their cars and seemed to be okay. The third happened right in my neighborhood. It looked like two punk kids were fighting for position, and the loser of the fight ended up driving straight into a wall.
I ate sushi yesterday. I ate tacos at La Leonesa tonight. I love sushi, and I love tacos.
In case you were wondering.
