Road Warrior Plug Adapter

October 22, 2013 by DaveLeave a Comment

Tired of large electrical adapters and multiple adapters - over the course of our own travels we have collected a fairly sizable plastic bag full of these trinkets. When we are on the road it might be Europe one month and Africa the next - then we have to check and see which ones to bring, which countries have which size plugs and so forth. Enter the Road Warrior, a real knight in "glossy plastic", so to speak riding in to solve all these … [Read more...]

A Bridge of Dreams, by Ezra Kyrill Erker

October 22, 2013 by DaveLeave a Comment

Fourteen unique stories make up this collection, weaving characters together who are not linked to each other personally, but rather are tied together by virtue of being torn between cultures, not quite fitting in - trying to find their balance and "place" in society. All of these stories have some connection to or relate to Asia. Author Erker is a versatile writer with an international perspective; he spent his formative years growing up in … [Read more...]

The Trinidad Moruga Scorpion, Hottest Chili in the World

October 17, 2013 by Dave5 Comments

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.

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...]
