6 Underground . . .

Snapped this cool shot last week of a man hole lit up at night -

and to go with it; one of my favorite songs from the "Just After College" days.

Knight Rider . . .

Seems like San Francisco is sending a message to American legend (and I use that term loosely) David "The Hoff" Hasselhoff.

Just saying.

Home . . .

I have decided to add a new feature on Just Jon for 2011.  I will begin to share content from other web sites that I find inspirational, humorous, or thought provoking.

I recently came across this YouTube clip when my Twitter "friend" P!nk shared a link to this video.

Since then Alexa and Jorge have made an appearance on Ellen's talk show.  This is the video that made them famous.

Jorge and Alexa also sell t-shirts to help pay off Jorge's student loans.

The song is also available for free download if you like it as much as I do.

"One day I'm gonna whistle?"

Swim . . .

There is an Olympic size pool across the street from my home that offers daily lap swimming, lessons, and recreational swim time.

I scoped the pool out shortly after moving to the neighborhood to see what it looked like, pick up information on the schedule, and find out pricing.

The last two months have been so hectic with work, moving, the holidays and then I got sick so I never made it back to the pool.

Today was going to be the day!

I pulled out the schedule for lap swimming and decided on the 3pm to 4pm hour.

I did my chores in the morning so that I could head over to the pool at 3.

It was a beautiful day in the Bay Area so I put on my swim trunks and flip flops and walked across the street.

WHAT?!?

CLOSED both Saturday and Sunday!

Epic fail on the attempt to become the next Michael Phelps!

It Is So Big . . .

I recently tried one of the taquerias in my neighborhood called Las Palmas Super Burrito & Seafood.

After entering the establishment the first thing you will notice is the counter to ceiling glass wall that separates/protects the workers from the customers.

I read the menu through the glass and decided to order a chicken burrito.

The employee asked if I wanted my burrito cut in half?

Cut in half?  Who cuts their burritos in half?

"No," I said.

When my burrito was ready the employee called my number through a small window.

She handed me a bag that weighed more than a brick.   When I got home I took the burrito out of the foil and placed it on a plate.   This was some serious pollo!   I am not kidding when I say this was the biggest burrito I have ever seen.

Now I understood why the employee asked if I wanted the burrito cut in half.

Every bite was filled with mouth watering chicken.  There was no "filler."

The next day I went to the bank and while waiting in line the two customers in front of me were discussing the giant burritos at a local restaurant.

"I eat for two days on one of their burritos, and they don't skimp on the meat," one woman said.

"Are you talking about Las Palmas?" I asked.

"Yes!" she said.

The next time I went to Las Palmas I thought I would try the quesadilla in hopes that it might be smaller than the burrito.

No such luck.  It was probably bigger than the burrito.

I went back to Las Palmas the other day and I found if funny that two of the customers were discussing how big the burritos are.  They were basically complaining about how generous the restaurant is with the meat.

As they were having this discussion another gentleman was finishing up a taco.

He interrupted their conversation to say, "Even this taco is too big.  I can't finish it, so I am going to give the rest of it to the homeless man out front."

Now that is a big taco!

Keep It In The Closet . . .

Super excited about my new custom cabinet that I had installed in my bathroom that matches the existing vanity.  The piece was built to fit in a large open area in the bathroom shown above.

The cabinet was brought up in two large pieces.

Shelves and doors were added after the unit was secured to the walls.

Ahhhh....Dream storage!
