Could Everton learn from the Giants ?

Went to see the SF Giants for the first time this season, I feel a bit bad for this because the ground is about 500 yards from my house. Still they won and Bonds hit homer number 670, so no complaints.

A pint of Beer cost me 7.75 which I'm told is the most expensive beer in the city, apparantly the concessions takings have been up this year, mostly because the team have been doing so badly nobody wants to watch so they go and stuff themselves with Garlic Fries and get drunk. Now this is a great idea and I wonder if its something Everton should consider. We have certainly got the bit about none of the fans being able to bear watching us sorted, now hike the beer prices and don't let anyone out early.

Breakfast to go

It never ceases to amaze me the things people do whilst driving a ton of metal at 80 miles an hour. On my daily commute on Highway 101, the new levels of dexterity displayed by drivers constantly surprise me. Mobile phones, cups of coffee, muffins, some paperwork from the office a whole manner of items can be balanced in two hands and sometimes they even keep hold of the wheel too. So here are two I saw recently.

1) A young girl driving a VW Jetta or similar, using the vanity mirror in the drivers side sun visor (why do car makers put them there? - it is encouraging drivers to drive and check out their hair and make up, our car even has one with a light on a dimmer switch so I can check out my hair whilst diving at night) to put on her eye make up as this was taking both hands she had to have her cell phone cradled between her head and shoulder to carry on her conversation. "You know, like... they put these, you know, like.. bends in the road, it is just SO not good for me getting my eyes looking good."

2) A guy in an SUV, doing 80 in the fast lane, in one hand he has a spoon in the other hand he has a bowl of cereal in the other hand he has a steering wheel, oh no that's right there was no third hand.

Please let me stay here Uncle Sam

So I am having to apply for a new visa, which means I have to convince the INS that
I am worthy of doing this job, as well as convincing my employer that I am doing my job
well and that they don't need to fire me.

Now I appreciate I am a guest in this country and to be honest I have to say I have
been made to feel very welcome here over the last four years by the overwhelming majority
of people I have met and the goverment officials that I have dealt with (not that they aren't
people too of course). However it is a real pain and it is strange to think that they could
tell me to leave and I would have ot leave my job, my home all my possessions, friends and
everything. Hopefully I will soon have a Green Card and can relax a little and stay here
as long as I want with a lot less form filling in my life.

My First Post

So I read an article today on Yahoo about BIll Gates saying blogging is the next big
thnig and how he is going to leverage it for business or some such rubbish.

So I thought its about time I created my own having heard a lot about them. Maybe it will
be interesting and maybe I will actualy keep it up.
