Whole Foods I went into whole foods a few days ago. I don’t normally shop there. It’s kind of far and expensive. I was just curious and I was in the neighborhood. I was looking at all the chicken and I noticed they had different prices per pound. But I couldn’t see a clear […]
Mind Reading Matrix Algorithm
Local JC Trip I went down to my local JC recently. I like taking classes at community colleges, usually on weekends, for a bunch of reasons. For one, I like to learn. I like places like libraries and bookstores where you can find a lot of information here. But learning in a classroom setting […]
Quantum Tunneling Through Pancakes
Need A Haircut I went down to my local barber the other day to get a haircut. But they were much more crowded than normal. No worries. I didn’t have any plans that day. I’d gotten up early that day and finished all my work. I wasn’t in any hurry. I picked up a […]

Trial and Error Spices
Cooking Class I took this really strange cooking class several years ago. I don’t remember how I signed up for it, only that I found about it in a way that was different than what you might expect to hear about a cooking class. It wasn’t from a flyer, I didn’t read about it […]
Over The Line
Weekend Plans A few years ago me and some friends were trying to figure out what to do for the weekend. It was Friday, and were at work. We decided to play softball. We each thought of two other people we could recruit, giving us a total of 18. We decided to meet the next […]
Trailing Memory Average
Palm Reader There’s this very powerful palm reader that works out of a very nondescript shop. In fact, unless you know she’s a palm reader you won’t tell, you won’t be able to tell by the outside of the shop. Even if you walk inside the shop it’s not altogether clear exactly what this woman […]
