Gas Pump in Question

There is also a good amount of gas that is in the neck, the tube from the opening to the tank. This neck can hold 1/2 to 1 gallon of gasoline. Many of the modern pumps click off when gas reaches the neck or gets close to the top of the tank. But other pumps will fill you car including the neck before clicking off. The vacuum system on the newly installed recovery handles sometimes do this. So, you would need to fill you car every time at the same pump and handle to get an accurate idea of how much gas you car holds. Every car I've ever owned has been able to hold more gas by filling the neck. The downside is that it can cause the gas to spill if you're not really careful. And, that's not good for the environment.

Crow Nuisance, Crow Delight

I often wonder if they can read minds. When they wake me up at 5:30am some mornings I send them a picture of a shotgun blast going up at them. They get quiet and fly away. And they usually don't come back for quite a while.

This restaurant has a wonderful stuffed chicken breast with artichoke etc. Very crowded so go early.

Roxy Natural Foods Restaurant

I just love the falafel burger. Delicious food, good quick service. They have their own ice cream bar. An encinitas tradition.

Kealani's

This place used to be fun. Now the waitresses are cranky like they're from a NY Deli. Food is ok.

Juanita's Taco Shop Estilo Tepatitlán

Great carne asada burritos. The rest of the menu is good but not great. A very busy, surfer, beachy Mexican restaurant that is quick and cheap. Local kids love this place. But it has no atmosphere or even bathrooms sometimes.

Psycho Analysis

I think you're brave to share what is most difficult for you and then also what you enjoy out of life. There isn't anyone that I've met who is intelligent on intense or driven that hasn't experienced an overload of anxiety. It comes with the gifts that you get. And you seem to be gifted.

Matters of the Heart

I found that my heart was skipping a beat because of caffeine. So, I gave all of it up. Even the chocolate and foods that had caffeine. Wasn't easy, but it was better than visiting the hospital. Now, I feel much better, sleep better and don't need caffeine to wake up.
