Mole
Lately I've been on a mole kick. It started a few weeks ago and prior to that, it had been a long time since I had any. Mole (audio pronunciation) is a Mexican sauce made from chiles, nuts, spices, and chocolate. Traditionally, mole is served over turkey or chicken, but you can find it served with enchiladas at Mexican restaurants - which is the way I've been eating it lately. So far, Casa Lupe in Campbell has the best mole enchiladas that I've tried. Although I'm told Maria Elena's in Alviso are better. I need to find out soon.
lower case
i like writing using only lower case text. i like how sentences and paragraphs look when they are written in lower case only. i think they are easier to read and they look cleaner too. i've been writing like this for years. especially when writing emails and comments on message boards and blogs. lately, as i've been reading more blogs and their comments, i've noticed more people writing like this. i don't know their reasons for doing it, but it's good to know i'm not the only one.

Driving citation : follow-up
Back in December, I wrote about a driving citation I received. Two days before my scheduled court date of January 10th, as written on the citation by the officer, I received a letter about by the city. In the letter I'm given three options. 1) Pay the fine, but it goes on my driving record, 2) Schedule court date and contest the citation or, 3) Pay fine and go to driving school to remove citation from my driving record. I opted for option number 3. So I'll be going to driving school - and writing a post about it.
