      Any of you Dudes ever done yoga? The good news is I have my first LA date on Wednesday, the bad news is that she wants to take me to Yoga.

        Instead of 'yes' to yoga, how about 'coffee instead'.

        Yoga for a first date could either be great (it could be a great laugh) or it could be terrible (she might seriously expect you to keep doing this). Hard to say without context, but it's probably better to be optimistic about this. And yoga pants.

        I once took a first date to a trials bike exhibition under a freeway overpass in a seedy part of town. We're married now.

        I think you will get points for trying. I love yoga, it’s wonderfully fun if the teacher isn’t asking you to twist yourself into a pretzel. Just go an enjoy it, let her seeing you enjoy doing something new, and if you fall on your butt laugh it off and try again.

      Out for a very late night walk in the Glendale 'hood, come around a corner and 6 coyotes run out of someone's back yard?! Is this a thing?

        I took my dog out to pee late at night and was surprised to find 5-7 coyotes near my drive way. Thankfully they seemed startled and didn't realize what was going on before i picked up my dog and quickly went inside.

        Opened my front door and this big husky coyote was standing perpendicular to the walkway, about 10' from the front door looking at me with the rest of the pack further back. They stood there for a few seconds

        I didn't so much forget about the roadblock as much as just not know what I was supposed to do. The last highway turnoff is actually 2 hours north at Monterey which made for a lot of backtracking this morning, but also a chance to see what I had missed while driving after sunset.

        I thought it was pretty bad too. I don't care much about the characters, not that big of a fan. It's the disjointed, questionable direction that makes it a bad action/sci-fi movie to watch even just for kicks imo. Weird pacing, awkward jokes in serious scenes, etc. There are cool moments but it felt like they didn't come together as a whole. Hard to explain without spoiling, but yeah... Worse than TFA for me :(

        Take the time to go down to Big Sur from the Bay area on Hwy 1. It's cut off from going farther south due to massive mudslide, but is well worth the trip to experience the rugged coast line.

        Also, like previously mentioned, go see the Red Wood forest further north, one of the most amazing things to see in the world, truly peaceful and breathtaking. Don't bother the hippy mafia in that neck of the woods, they can be rather ornery if you infringe on their pot plants if you wander off the beaten path.

        Go with a CU that has a branch close to you. Don't need an ATM that way. They can handle wire transfers. Banks are corrupt entities. Look at all the fines they have to pay.
