Foodista Heads to Portland for IACP
EAT MOBILE “It was like being at a night market in a foreign country with all these different food choices, except that I was in downtown Portland.” Those were the words of my husband Mark as he tried to explain the breadth of food carts that have taken over the city of Portland. I have been to Portland on and off over the years and have seen several food carts, but according to Mark, who was in Portland last weekend, the current food cart scene is unreal. According to the Willamette Week , Portland has more than 300 food carts. That’s enough to satisfy a hipster’s changing mood on food choices for months! Since Portland has become the center of the food cart movement, it’s not surprising that the annual food cart awards, EAT MOBILE should also be held here

an update from LA
I was savely beamed from there to here and got right into my car in LA and right into the motel which is basically around the block of Capitol Records building. Of course, the friendly car rental guy asked his usual questions about upgrading my REALLY small car into something more convenient. and I was warned about the insurance (I am broke if I have an accident) and they feared that I cannot fill the gas tank of the car, thus they have this wonderful option…

Existential Nonsense
What is the meaning of life ? Why are we here? What is the answer to life, the universe , everything? Have you ever asked yourself these questions? Quite probably you have. Whether you were having some kind of crises in your life, or you just like exploring your own inner existentialism, the need to know, or at least feel better, about our existence is one that has plagued mankind since the beginning of time. At least, I assume it has. It sure as hell messes with my mind. You might be thinking that I am going through a crises, since I am obviously thinking about my existence. Well, I actually do enjoy thinking about my existence, and how it fits in with the big scheme of things. Do I have any answers? Of course not. I don’t believe in definite answers, at least where existence and the meaning of life are concerned. First off I would like to say that, in the big scheme of things, we are nothing. We are next to nothing. We aren’t even dust in the wind. Think about it. Think about the immensity of the universe, of everything. Supposedly, in our galaxy, there are two hundred billion stars. Just in our galaxy. And speaking of our galaxy, scientists estimate it is about thirty kiloparsecs in diameter and about one kiloparsec thick. Now one parsec is about 3.262 light years , or 19 trillion miles. So that would make our galaxy approximately ninety-seven thousand, eight hundred and sixty light years across. Ok, now, supposedly there are one hundred and twenty-five billion galaxies in the universe. These numbers are, to me, almost completely unimaginable. These are expanses that I can scarcely even conceive.

Dropping In On A Killer Surf Art Blog
For some unexplainable reason, surfing keeps finding its way into my life lately. I dreamt of surfing the other night. The following day, I sat down on the couch after straightening up our kitchen and the show Parenthood was ending by showing one of the show’s fathers sitting on a surfboard and smiling contently as he looked out to sea
