I took my niece to her soccer practice yesterday. The practice was held at Great Park in Irvine. While I was waiting, I decided to go buy some stuff at the nearby Costco. More specifically, I was going to buy a new iPad Pro, but there was no stock (need to order online), so I ended up with $100 of other things, including some mixed nuts.
It’s about 5:30 am and I am awake due to a new neuropathy attack. Since I cannot sleep, I went down to the kitchen to get a drink and some nuts. Walking by the microwave oven, I remembered the story of the Korean nut rage lady. She was the daughter of the chairman of Korean Air. On a flight from New York to Seoul, she got crazy angry at a flight attendant for serving her cold nuts, and made the pilot turn the plane around so she could kick him off the plane. Well, obviously that did not go over well with the FAA. Korean Air tried to cover up the incident, but the flight attendant told the story to the media, and the nut rage lady got a twelve-month sentence, but only served five months.
Warmed nuts are better than cold nuts.

Back to the nut lady, I believe I kind-of met her before. Prior to the nut incident, I attended an award dinner sponsored by the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation (LAEDC). They gave our company an Eddy and we sent our CFO, my boss, to receive the award. We had to “purchase” a table for guests, so I was tasked to fill a seat. The chairman of Korean Air also received an award at the same event, and his daughter was his plus one. I did not talk to her at all, which is probably best in hindsight.
