*sighs* I wish I had time to attend some D1 Grand Prix Events...

Maybe next year..

Bay Bridge closed indefinitely!

Well... it'll probably be open again in a few days. Hopefully they'll do a better job this time.
Hmm... I hope that the Bridge doesn't collapse before the new one gets completed...

yummy~~(Japanese dessert)

Geeking out...

Sat, 17 Oct 2009 06:16:43 GMT

geeking out about the solar neutrino problem... (the number of neutrinos flowing from the sun to the earth is 1/2 to 2/3 less than predicted in solar models..)
and neutrino oscillations...(electron neutrinos oscillating into muon or tau neutrinos...)
and tachyons (theoretical subatomic particles that travel faster than light)..

what topics have you guys been geeking out on recently? ^_^

Secret Road near Highway 1...

Yes, it's an unpaved road...

Recent Road Trip: (Sorry, no stopping on drives) :-p It ruins the "beat"

Bridge Crossing...

University Falls - you can (generally) safely slide down these waterfalls

"600 curves in 36 miles"

When I read that, I knew I had to drive on Mosquito Ridge Road.

Even if it meant driving 133 miles just to get there... to drive more.

And it was worth it. The road was more beautiful than I had expected. We saw three separate lakes, went through various rivers, hiked through the forest, went down some water falls (more on this later, with pictures), and ate at a wonderful restaurant at the end of the day.

"Nice date," I said.

"Date?," he asked. "Let's see... we heard gunshots from hunters, growling from bears, almost froze to death in the water, drove over 20 miles of rocky, bumpy fire trails... that's a bit rough for a date, don't you think?"

"Nah," I said. "I like it rough."

The only thing bad was that, unfortunately, I didn't get to drive much. Driving another's manual transmission car is never comfortable. Too bad my miata has been having "belt" issues. :-/ I feel like I've been sitting a lot recently, as passenger.

I want to drive.

Pictures to come~!

A tad worried..
