Rice Fields in Japan
If you haven’t ever seen any rice fields or how rice is grown it is pretty interesting because Japan does not have a lot of farm land so they grow rice wherever they can. Here are a couple fields I happened to snap a couple photos of as I was driving by.
Going Solar
More and more businesses, organizations, schools, and people are installing solar panels and why not? Not only do the solar panels produce power by converting light into electricity, but they also provide shade and lower your bills and if there are enough of them, they can even produce a profit. With people looking for alternative energy sources, not only for their vehicles, but also for their homes solar is a great way to go. The sun provides us with enough energy to suit most of our needs.
Fortune Cookie Fortune
I had a fortune cookie that had this fortune in it that stated, “You have a keen sense of humor and bring out the best in others.” I’m not so certain that is an actual fortune as much as it is just a statement. I think I got cheated.

The woman replied: “They’re not crazy about it at Costco either!

Patriot Missiles
While stationed at Ali Al Salem air base in Kuwait there were some Patriot Missiles there. Every time Saddam Hussein sent scud missiles south of the 38th parallel something would be sent up that way to take it out. Periodically I would check just to ensure they were still pointing north. If they were I felt everything was going to be A-ok.

Little Italy Bar & Grill in El Cajon California
I don’t typically write a lot of reviews, however in this case I need to give credit where credit is due. I went and ate at the Little Italy Bar & Grill in El Cajon, California for a special occasion and the food was amazing. The quality was great the price was very reasonable and the service was good. When I first got there I asked the waitress what was good on the menu and she said, “everything.” I said, “Don’t tell me everything because some things aren’t going to be good.” Well, she didn’t lie. Everything I ate was delicious. Granted I didn’t try everything on the menu, but I also didn’t leave there hungry. I left with a full stomach of great quality food for a reasonable price. That’s two thumbs up in my book.
