Today was the start of the National Bike to Work Week. National Bike to Work day is this Thursday, May 15. There are events going on around the country, so check with your local transit agency. I know in L.A. the Metro will be free on Thursday, and there will be pit stops set up around the county for cyclists to get some free drinks and snacks. Today, I was handed a free tote bag/backpack with two granola bars, coupons, and information about the events going on this week. Not bad! So if biking is an option, go for it, and if it’s not, then be nice to the bike riders on the road. Hopefully, there will be more of us in the future.
I know for a lot of people, bicycling, even a short distance in the city is a scary idea. A video from Streetfilms.org argues the case for separated bike lanes in New York City, and gives you a look at how other cities around the world separate their bike lanes from auto traffic. These bike lanes look like heaven!
“The legal age for smoking in Japan is 20 and as the country’s 570,000 tobacco vending machines prepare for a July regulation requiring them to ensure buyers are not underage, a company has developed a system to identify age by studying facial features.”
I think this is unfair! Just recently I started noticing my first wrinkles, and I am 34. I have even recently been carded for buying Lotto tickets! If I wanted to buy cigarettes in Japan, I would most certainly be out of luck. I am sure you don’t have to look like this man
…
But, geez, if I was in Japan, and wanted to buy a pack of smokes, I might have to resort to asking 80 year old women to buy them for me.
There are so many variable to why a one persons face wrinkles faster than others. It could be genetics, smoking (duh), smiling too much, or even meth usage!
This new system might cause hard core smokers to start thinking of ways to turn back the clock. Could it be that Japan could become the next Los Angeles, with people getting face lifts left and right? Are Plastic Surgeons, and the Tobacco Companies working together? Hmmm, something to ponder.
I am not sure how we missed this one. Oh well. Maybe you can get it for your mom next mother’s day!

Technology baffles me sometimes. It’s not enough that our hands are glued to our phones, or that our major conversations of the day are over iming. I jumped in the boat late with getting cell phones, or even a computer. I am still way behind in the times.. I hardly even know how to post a blog. I know, crazy!
When I read about this new trend in fashion.. The Keyboard Pants I was in awe at how far we have come.![]()
I’ll agree, it’s pretty clever, and pretty handy if you are an online dater. I am fine with being behind with technology, if it means that I don’t have to wear these god-awful pants!
In my youth, I found clever, and thrifty ways of creating paraphernalia for marijuana. There was the toilet paper roll, the pop can, and even a variety of fruit. It always seemed a little desperate.. a little.. crack-whorish. Yet It’s what I had to do to get high, when I didn’t have a pipe. I will even admit to using these things recently in a pinch.
I will not admit to being desperate enough to do what these two boys
did… They made a Skull Bong Not only is it twisted, but they went through a lot of work to get it. I think I will stick with pop cans next time in a pinch.
Today I wooted. And it was the first Woot that I instantly regretted. I got this iphone (ipod) portable battery. I thought it was rechargeable. Unfortunately it was not. So much for the environment. One more waste of space. It only cost a dollar but shipping was $5. WTF? And I bought it.
Anyhow, on with the poll of the week:
Michelle Duggar, of the neonatally epic Duggar Family is pregnant again with her 18th child.
Wow. Just… wow.
