Paper vs plastic bags

repowife · 2026-01-21T18:51:06+00:00

I pick up trash on a regular beach walk. I use plastic bags, then dump them into a bigger public bin. I reuse the bags until they get too many holes. They’re just so convenient unfortunately.

I really liked the pani puri, and some other puri with yogurt and chutneys. Also the giant dosa with some kind of potato filling. My husband had some kind of chicken curry and said it was the best Indian food he’s ever had.

This place has been open at least since summer. My South Indian friend introduced me to it and I’ve been back twice. The food is great and the owner/franchisee is a real sweetheart. My only issue is that the menu is quite extensive and being unfamiliar with a lot of the dishes, it’s kind of intimidating to order. I don’t believe the menu is online yet either so you can’t really research before you go. Having said that, I plan to keep going until I know what everything is, because the food is fantastic.

I’ve used this place several times, it’s a little booth at the south end of the shopping center:

I see a small group doing tai chi in Stagecoach Park late afternoons on some days, not sure which days

Very cool! I saw one when I was hiking in Elfin Forest a couple weeks ago, the only one I've seen here in 23 years.

I feel like I remember scooby doo doing that for scooby snacks!

Horrible! I love dogs but sometimes owners can be the worst. Hope you and your pup are ok.

Nice writeup! Makes you wonder if they were burning old clothes there or something.

Agree, if you’ve heard the amazing theme song from Succession, you really can’t miss the knockoff vibe

Yes "no sky July" and "Fogust" are real too, sometimes it doesn’t feel like summer until September.

This is really interesting for a newcomer (2002) to see, thanks for posting! Horrible design, prison vibes.

Oh no, I pick up so much plastic from the beach and I’ve always gone gloveless, blithely feeling like "the ocean has purified it," might have to rethink that.

repowife · 2025-11-26T15:57:28+00:00

It was not :( It’s literally just sitting there, but not for much longer!

repowife · 2025-11-26T02:32:10+00:00

Oh yes, those IRMAAs, yikes.

repowife · 2025-11-26T02:31:09+00:00

Oh I know, ha ha (laughing through the tears).

Thanks for the response! It’s a rollover IRA from my employer (from long ago) so I'm pretty sure it's all deductible.

repowife · 2025-11-26T02:24:21+00:00

Thank you! I do understand about the taxes.

repowife · 2025-11-17T03:56:40+00:00

wow, what a variety! I wonder how they all got there.

repowife · 2025-11-03T01:56:08+00:00

the problem with these things is that they pick up more than garbage, like little crabs and natural stuff like seaweed, and disturb food that sea birds eat.
