Not too good for my diabetes.

Apr

I had a Chicken Caesar Wrap at Red Robin last night. I guess the Caesar Wrap was not too bad bat the stake fries werent too good for my diabetes. My blood sugar was high this morning. I should not have eaten those fries.

But those fries were sure good. Why is that everything that tastes so good are bad for your health? Anyhow, I guess I will stay away from the fries for a while.

APRIL FOOL?

Did anyone fool you yesterday? Tell me about it.

I heard on the radio yesterday that there was a foot of snow in Federal Way (Near Seattle-Tacoma Airport) and I almost believed it. Last year we had snow on April 19th. I hope I will see no more snow until later this year.

This is the picture of our office in December 22, 2008.

Up Up Up Up Up Up Up Up Up Up Up ...

When the economy goes down, everyone try everything they can to reduce the cost without cutting any services. But there is one industry that increases the price and reduces the service. And when they are told to reduce cost, they cut the service so much that people must say yes to the price hike.

It is government. As of today, the State sales tax is 9.5% and 9.8% at the restaurants. When I came to Seattle, sales tax was 7.3% and that was the highest in the nation. The reason for that was Because Washington State has no Income Tax. What about Business and Occupation Tax (B&O Tax)? Why doesnt the government try to cut cost without reducing the service level? All you had to do is work more, faster and smarter.

I do not smoke, but as of today Federal & State tax on tobacco is over $3 a packet.

PLUMBING SERVICE

Mar

31

I has problem with the drain in my house. When it rains, it goes down the gutter but the drain in the ground was clogged. I try to fix it by digging around the drain, but it was too deep and I do not have tools needed to fix.

I called Fox Plumbing (http://www.foxph.com/) because Fox is a member of Seattle Executives Association. They came over next day and fixed it right there. It cost little over $600 but I dont have to worry about water any more.

PS: I kind of think they need little better web site but they do a good job.

PPS: I forgot to use my coupon that I got from them.

JAPANSSE BATH

Mar

30

OFURO and SENTOH are words describes Japanese style bath. The bath could be natural spring or just a hot water. It usually have dry sauna. Japanese bath is one of the most missed items living in the US.

When you go to baths in Japan, there are some things that are very unique in Japan. People who work there are usually women. They come in to the bath and clean things. After living in the US for so long, I still feel out of place to see female in the mans bath. I guess it is a common thing in Asia. Other than that, Japanese baths are great. I wish I had one here in the US.
