Nose Phones

Generally when using public transit I like to put my earphones in and listen to sweet music, so I don't have to listen to the obnoxious fat guy sat in front of me, his phone calls and his tunes.

Right now, I'm wishing someone would invent 'nosephones' so I wouldn't have to smell today's obnoxious fat guy.

Weekend train ride in Sunol

We went to a friends birthday party at the weekend. We got to ride the 'Niles Canyon Railway' from Sunol to Niles and back.

Our party got exclusive use of the Caboose car on the vintage train.

Sunol turned out to be a picturesque little town and the railway runs along a creek, so the view during the journey is also great.

We arrived a little early and that gave us chance to get a latte/Americano from the 'Jazz Cafe' across from the station. We don't really like Jazz, but the café was quaint!

I never agreed to this crap ...

After all, there’s nothing better than the 80s!  Before all this horrible Internet crap, when only people with a modem could download p0rn :-P

Look what I woke up next to this morning ...

Hope I didn't shag it!

We had a sleep over at the Monterey Bay Aquarium with Ben's scout troop.

Increasing FDIC insurance ... why!?

$100k FDIC insurance is where we're at. They want to increase that to $250k, which is great. But given that the US population doesn't actually have any savings, what's it going to actually help with?

According to several surveys, Americans save only about $400/year, while the average american has a credit card balance of $16000
