brain purge

you know this happens to me all the time - i am at work, on the road, driving, swimming, biking, running... no where near my computer and i have a moment where i think of something that at that point in time seems it is the best blog topic ever...  of course by the time my butt hits the couch and i am in front of the computer - NOTHING!!!  happens all the time...
so I am going to try to remember what those ramblings have been...
i could go on for pages about the whole occupy thing but my financial planner background has been upsetting too many people at this point...  so we will keep it light out here..
i do have an observation about the right on red rule - sure, i know not all of you readers can actaully take advantage of the right on red law where you are...  and i am beginning to think that it should be revoked.. my understanding was that you needed to come to a complete stop at your red light and then and only then if it is ALL clear you could proceed...  all too often i see people not really stop - hello - a little dangerous if there is a car coming.... but the one that gets me the most - the intersection where it isnt all clear where it is just short of a gridlock situation and they roll on into the stopped traffic.. the last i checked that is not ALL CLEAR....  it just gets me...
on a totally different note - gym lockers and panties...  i have a friend that encourages the packing of panties that should be on their way out when you travel and then instead of carrying dirty panties in your luggage you just throw them out and have a little more space in your luggage...  these are to be packed in your suitcase or overnight bag...  NOT in you gym bag...  nothing worse than getting to the gym and realising the one and only place where strangers are going to see your under garments and you have the wrong set in the wrong bag...  this hasnt happened to me but i think of it every morning when i get dressed and know i am headed for the gym and when i pack my gym bag...
and why do my bathing suits keep getting torn up?  it seems the chlorine is just eating threw them way too quickly... my speedo top - my fave - is just starting to show some wear but my fun reebok boy short bottoms are really feeling the effects - i am beginning to think that quick dry thing in all locker rooms is a way to totally destroy your suits all the while you think you are doing something good for them...  i suppose i should do a better job of tracking my usage as well - i imagine that has something to do with it...
and if that wasnt bad enough... when i left for ireland i had laid all my swim gear out on the chair in my bedroom... not too sure why - contemplating taking some of the peices with me, contemplated using that gym bag... for whatever reason the swim caps and goggles and stuff were sitting on the chair...  i came home to find my one swim cap had melted into itself and the pillow it had been resting on...  again must be something with the chlorine...  if only i knew someone who knew something about polymers that could put some effort into some form of fiber that withstand the abuse of the chlorine in the pools...  mind you i am all about the chlorine killing the germs...
hydration - i have purchased a couple of different forms of coconut water in the past month... i am prety hard core on the Naked variety... dont know why - I guess it was the first version I have had... well i tried some others that were flavored - problem being they have added sweeteners and sugars that counteract the potassium hydration AND usually have less potassium... i tried coco libre for the second time today - and i swear it has a cocoa flavor to it... now we all not chocolate and cocoa are not the same coco... so how is that chocolate flavor getting into it... i will be doing more research on that....  i am not onto water in my effort tohydrate...
well i am off to a friends house for a pre-bday dinner... i need to find something to where...
i am currently wearing my Stereophonics tshirt - sad that Wales lost today against France in the Rugby Cup semis...  I think I may leave the tshirt on...
i also have shorts on - and as nice as it is right now sitting on my couch looking out the open windows and my blooming oleander, zinnia and dahlia.... i know all too well, the sun will go down and jeans will be needed...
