We're kicking off the 2024 Secret Santa! Exchange gifts with other monkeys - from beer and snacks, to bike gear, to custom machined holiday decorations and tools by our more talented members, there's something for everyone.
Went to Star Anise in Livermore for Thai Food. Ordered the Pad Thai with silver noodles and pork. It was ok. not good not bad just ok. I found it to be bland. I had to add my own brought from home spices. A friends dish had the black peppers. I ate a few, not even hot. Been there twice with friends. I call it Gringo Thai food. not really worth my time.
I’ve been to Phoenix once; back when I was a hack musician, the band I was in stopped in Phoenix to play a show at some random venue - I think it was a college, IIRC. No plans to go back.

My sister lived in Phoenix briefly. I went to visit when I was a teenager. I had my shoes stolen twice in one trip. Ever gone to a shoe store with no shoes? Her neighbor carried a .44 magnum revolver to get the mail. It wasn't a particularly bad neighborhood.

Stolen? Like, from off of the front porch? And these were 2 different pairs that were stolen? What are the odds?
I can’t say I’ve ever had the misfortune of shoe shopping shoeless. I just remember it being hot, dry and shitty. Not quite as hot, dry and shitty as Tempe, though.

I generally avoid any shellfish ceviche. Or fresh water.
The one time I got really sick from Ceviche was trout from a street vendor in Perú. WTF wuz I thinkin’?
My point stands. Everybody that likes and eats Ceviche has stories of being sick from it. But hey, if you like to shit and puke your souls out, more power to you. I don't kink shame anyone.
“Ceviche” sounds exotic and comes from a Mexican Restaurant so y’all eat it, yum. If it was from Ray Earl’s Raw Fish Shack none of ya would go near it.
If you pee out of your butt after eating at a restaurant it’s probably not the ingredients that caused it. Some cooks just don’t like to wash their hands after they go to the bathroom.
My weekend is here! Headed up to Kingdom Trails for the weekend to ride bikes with the Splats. On top of the amount of fun I'll have, it'll be a nice break from Ironman training.
