The Trinidad Moruga Scorpion, Hottest Chili in the World
The Trinidad Scorpion is currently the hottest known Chili pepper on the planet. It is native to the Moruga district on the tiny island nation of Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean. I acquired a few seeds earlier this year. I saw references online from those cutting up a number of these particular peppers indicating they wore latex gloves.

IMPROV-ing it in Hollywood
Driving through Hollywood numerous times I've always wondered what it would be like to stand in one of these "sidewalk lines" late at night. Lines for nightclubs, lines for dark signless establishments with tough looking large people in front, lines for comedy shows, lines for Improv and lines for bars. I was standing in one of such lines this evening - in front of the Upright Citizens Brigade waiting to see the Swarm, 4 gentleman who perform … [Read more...]

A Busy Day in LA
Got up early to go shopping at the relatively new Farmer's Market in front of the Autry Center - it is one of the smaller Farmer's markets in town but this time of year there is always good fresh fruit - especially grapes. Oh and the Homeboy Bakery is always there with their fresh bread (reformed gang members). Heading across the street - I spent 90 minutes at the LA Zoo - arriving right as they opened and raced to the back of the park to beat … [Read more...]

Has Travel Come to This?
During a recent trip to South America my friends and I were joking about walking around sightseeing while taking distracted glances upwards from our phones. Some of us were addicted to our phones - jumping online when any free Wifi opportunity became available. I polled a family member currently on vacation in Croatia - who enjoys using his phone while traveling. I had a good laugh when we read this. "Travel is all about staying in touch … [Read more...]
