jack in the box

I often go to Jack-in-the-box because they take my visa and i rarely carry around cash. Well one of my favorite things is a sourdough jack combo meal with cheese potatoes (instead of fry's) and rootbeer. In moments of pure abandon i will even get a shake instead of a rootbeer. Well i hadn't mentioned this until now because i havent pulled my pics off of my phone forever. In early jan. I went to a drive thru in folsom after a long day of work and they charged me for the full meal plus the wedges and milkshake, they wern't paying well attention, i don't know what the deal was but here is a snapshot of the store. Not in good condition. even the counter was a mess.

Random thoughts

Movies i need to buy / rent mirrormask 2/7/2005 (rent DVD) Narnia 2006 (buy DVD) Corpse Bride Double Disk Widescreen Special Edition (when it exists) PRIME NUMBERS: Who knew they were so interesting. In fact the discovery Prime numbers is a great achievement. The largest of the largest was found on February 18, 2005 by Dr. Martin Nowak from Germany. It was the 42nd Known Mersenne Prime found. Finding a Mersenne prime uses the functions M(p) = 2p-1 and P(p) = 2p-1(2p-1). To understand what makes a Mersenne prime confuses me. You have to know about perfect numbers among other things (A number is a perfect number if you can add up its divisors and equal itself. for example you can divide 6 by one, two, or three and 1+2+3=6!). I find "Twin" primes much more easy to understand.. They are prime numbers that are only two apart. For example 11 and 13 would be twin prim numbers. 3 and 5 are not prime twins as they are prime prime triplets along with 7. (I don't believe 2 is part of the "twin" set as it is only one away from 3.

Big accident

Last Saturday night what a odd night. I stayed home while mom and everyone went to Reno for my cousins wedding. I had a group project for school and went to CSUS after which I saw that my keys were locked in the van. So after AAA broke into the van for me I decided to stop at Safeway for some Aquafina or something. Since the last time I went to safeway it had stopped being open 24hrs. As I walked back to the van I noticed a few Ambulances and Cops, Thinking nothing of it I headed back home. I saw a few more. When I got to landis there was a flipped van and a smashed Honda. It was obvious that no-one walked away from the cars. Being so close to home and with the whole family out of the house on the roads it made me ponder on the scary possibilities. (photos to come once I find my phone.)
