Traveling Pants Shall Travel No More

Over the past week, two pairs of my shorts and my favorite pair of cargo pants have developed large, menacing holes in their pockets. I don't know exactly what brought it about (heavy keys, no doubt), but yesterday afternoon, I resolved to take my ailing garb to a tailor to get this small but inconvenient problem mended, quite literally. The plan was to go into effect yesterday, but thank goodness I waited because I would have full-on wasted my money — at least as far as my cargo pants were concerned.

C'mon, Crate & Barrel. It's 2008. Corkscrews are for ALL waiters.

I just felt the earth move under my feet, but nothing came tumbling down, thankfully. Like a good citizen, I immediately sprang from my chair (which was already swaying) and firmly ensconced myself under a door frame for a good ten seconds while everything rattled around me. Nothing fell or broke though. I didn't even lose power. Huzzah! Still, kind of scary.

This just in: it was a 5.8 5.4 magnitude quake. More info here.

Think it's fun to ride in a bike race on a highway near the Mexican border? WRONG. It's not fun, especially when a drunk driver up and runs you over. That's exactly what happened yesterday when Juan Campos of Brownsville, Texas fell asleep at his wheel and plowed into this poor mass of soon-to-be airborne bikers. Sadly, one of them died.

P.S. Don't drink and drive, kids.
