The Coffee House

[limr]

Buzz and Satish had their film cameras with them and I didn't - I had forgotten my Rollei on the table next to my purse that morning And I got in this shot and one more before my phone battery ran out.

A bit annoying, yes, but it also allowed me to be more fully present in the moment and I felt...unburdened I guess, by the lack of photo-taking devices.

At one point, the singer ran over to the far side of the bar and hopped up on it. There was very little lighting and he asked anotjer singer to join him for an impromptu cover of Midnight Special. Her voice was beautiful. She sat on the bar next to him, Satish and a guy with a tambourine were in the crowd and we all sang along with the chorus. The music just sort of surrounded us all. For a little while, we were all friends just singing and being together.

By that point, my phone was dead and Buzz and Satish were out of film, so there are no physical reminders of that moment, but I know for sure that the image is engraved more firmly in my memory because I wasn't fussing with a camera and could let myself get carried into the moment.

nine days. (Train ... Plane?) It took Lewis and Clark more than two years to complete the round trip and they had a head start leaving from St. Louis ... Nine days is pretty good.

We pull a 40' mobile condo when we travel. Nine days if I drove straight through, or got side tracked. Since I have the attention span of a gnat, it's easy for me to get sidetracked LOL

...Stayed out until midnight...

What's "midnight"?

You can park in our neighbor's driveway.

@Gary A. Ok, can I use the sewer drain in front of his house also????

 

[Gary A.]

No need, you can use their bathroom(s) and which ever neighbor you choose, they both have pools that can accommodate any drainage needs.

(We don't have street sewer drains out here. The street gutter/drainage/flood control system flows directly into the ocean, bypassing the water treatment plants. People get fines for dumping 'pollutants' into the street gutter as it is harmful to the ocean/intertidal ecosystems.)

It's the witchin' hour, man

Me thinks I have found what Mary Lou should get Gary for Christmas.

LOL ... actually that's not a bad idea. Gary has looked at a few of those contractions but never found a need ... Gary still doesn't hasn't found a need ... but it would certainly be convenient. Gary and Mary Lou, more often than not, will not finish an entire bottle at a meal. So we stop it up, refrig and use it the next day or two. The sheer convenience of that machine would most likely, up our consumption, which in turn would cause us to join more wine clubs, which in turn would deplete our monies at a faster rate, simultaneously lowering our desire for work, productivity and monetary replacement, while raising our level of uselessness and Gary's time in TPF.

How much are they?

But what Gary doesn't realize is that this is the true meaning of Trickle Down Economics. Besides this way Gary could have his favored wine, Mary Lou could have hers, Terri could have hers and Gryph could enjoy his. This would be the host's delight.

Aha ... point well taken and Gary has been re-educated. Gary needs to find a five bottle machine in order to accomodate the Cook.

The Dacor (pictured) is a mere $8000. This is more of a Kansas item than for a poor, Latino from LA.

Na, in Kansas it would still be an oak icebox and the ice wagon once a week and siphon tubes sticking out of the clay jugs.

Every once in a while, it hits me how weird it is to live in the future.

91 albums are saved on this little thing. Days' worth of music. And it's only 3/4 full.

And yes, palm readers have a field day with mine.

Those darn Ducks had me up til like 2 in the morning - finally early in the 2nd OT they scored, I was about to give up and go to bed.

After watching international hockey and college lacrosse all day, a bit of a switch - looks wet and muddy at Churchill Downs. I think it'd be fun to take pictures at that. Maybe of all the hats more than the horses... it looks downright sloppy.

Soup for lunch and about the same for dinner. This congestion is better but didn't help this morning to cough mid gulp and inhale coffee up my nose! What a waste of a good slurp of coffee.

Hey, there's a former hockey player who does commentary for the Derby! He does know the riders aren't going to start whacking at pucks or anything I hope.
