I just had to write about this because it made me laugh out loud in public.. on the street.

This evening as I was walking from work to the garage.. There was this big ROAR noise behind me.  When I turned to the side, I saw the big ol' UPS brown truck with very cute smiling guy behind the driver seat.  He was slowing down and giving me the appreciative eye.  I just looked and smiled and that was it.

Then I heard another ROAR.. sort of like an impatient revving of the engine.  Directly behind him was another big box WHITE truck.. FedEx.  And the guy was impatient because it was a green light and the UPS guy was *not* moving.  Then the UPS guy probably wanted to show this FedEx guy a somethin' somethin'.. and he guns his truck shoots forward and hangs a right turn into a T-section.. with the FedEx guy right behind him.. tailgating.  Immediately the UPS truck hangs a left (so it was an S shape motion) onto another side street.. and the FedEx truck is right there on his butt..

It was so funny because two identical trucks.. competitors.. barreling and lumbering down New Montgomery and onto Howard Street.. revving engines and major jockeying for position. 

On another curious question.  I was waiting for my latte at Starbucks today and then I saw they had a pamphlet on all the nutritional values for every single drink they had.  It was so interesting considering I am a major bean fein.  Since I'm a latte kinda girl, I looked that up first.  It said 160 calories for a non-fat latte.  But then sometimes, I get it iced.  For a non-fat iced latte, it was only 100 calories.  This led me to believe, cause it was printed and it *must* be the truth, that ice is a negative calorie.  Like (60) calories.  Is it possible?  Perhaps, is it the displacement of drink because of the ice cubes?  So what if I'm the type to say "light ice" when I order my ice grande non-fat latte?  Is there an equation that says how many calories you give up based on the number of ice cubes?  I recall taking out all the cubes before and then I was left with half a drink... what a rip!  Watered down latte!!!

So may theory is to get your $ worth of latte.. Ask for your iced drinks with light ice!  Unless you like super numb freezing drinks that become watered down.. hehe.. I'm irritating to the Baristas.
