Smokers are inherently ethically vacant and morally corrupt egotistical individuals. They are so self-centered and self-absorbed that they don’t care how their smoking affects those around them, whether they are people who they interact with, or disinterested bystanders: Only the self is important. They litter with absolute abandon, both by dropping their ash and by discarding their cigarette butts on the streets or sidewalks: They can’t be bothered with properly disposing of their refuse. This puts them in league with the COFA folk who expectocate their phlegm and discard used baby diapers even in hospital parking lots.

Saw the vanity plate, “BF8FUL”. I’m fairly certain this individual is of the evangelical, new-fashion religious variety (“be faithful”) and not the meat-loving variety (“beef ate full”). Too bad he or she doesn’t have a full command of English, since the plate reads “be fateful” and not “be faithful”. There’s a big difference there (hint: go check a dictionary). Maybe this is one of the friends of the “discreet”/”discrete” guys…
(0)Saw a block-and-long-U-bolt lifted F250 pickup with four super-expensive external-reservoir Fox Racing Shox dampers across the back axle. Too bad the outer two were at the inboard 1/3rd distance stock Ford locations where they do little to moderate roll, and the other two were installed on either side of the differential housing. WTF?!?! The money would have been better spent on a real off-road coil-and-4-bar rear suspension and TWO Fox dampers.
(0)…and if the Formosan koa doesn’t get you, the broad-leaf paperbark (melaleuca quinquenervia) will. Those are firing now too.
(0)It’s allergy time again. Island-wide, the Formosan koa (acacia confusa) have set their pollen-laden yellow puffball flowers. Fun! H-2 is definitely “allergy alley”: Where there isn’t albizia growing, there is Formosan koa deliberately planted.
(0)A note to the girl with the giant Kardashian-wannabe sunglasses who while trying to tailgate me on the LikeLike onramp in her 9th-gen Civic sedan went sliding into the outside curb in full-lock understeer on dry pavement – your salesman lied to you when he told you that the Honda Civic is a sports car. …oh, and guess what? I wasn’t even out of second gear!
(0)I loaded the cooler in the boot of my car with ice packs just in case there was still some Hokke left at Shirokiya’s Hokkaido Fair. Score! An older lady and me got the last ones. 20% off to boot! Got some prepared sardines too. Tomorrow’s dinner is going to rock!
(0)Man, am I turning into the tea snob? I just bought $20 of “sipping teas” (not kranky teas for masala chai) and a mortar and pestle specifically for use to grind my masala chai spices! I’m going to have to find some piece of tactical nylon to store all my tea-related things in now… (I’m actually drinking jasmine dragon pearl tea as I post this)
(0)Ooo! I saw some lightly dried, lightly salted Hokke at Shirokiya’s Hokkaido Fair yesterday. It wasn’t cheap ($25 USD), but it isn’t common to see outside of Japan. I would have bought some if it weren’t for the fact that I wasn’t going to be home for several hours, and I didn’t want it to go bad (it was refrigerated). Root might be interested that they also had Matsumae-zuke (which can be expediently made into Matsutaka-zuke). I didn’t taste any (either) nor buy any when I was in Matsumae in 2008.
(0)The new limited filling flavor for the Akimune-an taiyaki is chocolate custard creme. I don’t want! Aaa…
