The Coffee House

three year anniversary was last week of a friend of mine hanging himself in the basement. But on another topic, looks like a nice day other there today!

Waiting to be called as an expert witness in a court case involving a contractor and a homeowner. A cautionary tale of how good intentions coupled with lack of attention to details, results in an unsavoury mess. Not my first such appearance. Checking all my ducks. They seem to present, accounted for, and in a row. Woops. There's a phone call.

Morning, hosers.

Got my book club tonight. We're reading a book that I've been wanting to read on my own anyway, so that worked out nicely. It's called Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking by Susan Cain.

It's really quite fascinating. Lots of really interesting things about how the brain works.

I love it!!! Got it awhile back in paperback (waits on big hug), but have read more on my Kindle or Kindle. App!!

Do you need a paralegal?

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. It is 50F at 6:45 a.m. Should hot 75F again today. Yesterday was so pleasant it was absolutely glorious. 75F, not a cloud could be seen, "Blue skies, Smiling at me, Nothing but blue skies, Do I see." and a warm, sunny and a gentle breeze.

Sadly, a friend of mine, he calls me Uncle, owns a doughnut shop in a poorer part of Los Angeles. Two days ago his brother was working the shop and was stabbed and died during the course of a robbery. It is all very sad. Yesterday, a rally/march for peace was organized by LAPD and the indigenous population. It was tough watching watching the grieving family in the lead ... but moving as well as the neighborhood people came together in memorial to Andy and to say enough is enough. Hopefully, something good would come from his passing.

Wow, sorry to hear about that Gary. Sad indeed and the circumstances make it so much harder to work through that grief. I've had two friends lose a loved one (parent in both cases) to similar violence; one was an older woman who was stabbed during a home invasion, but she was also…well, the robbers didn't just rob her and stab her, I'll put it that way. Her son never did get over it and ended up committing suicide about a decade later.

It is always a shock when the violence hits home.

I just need a legal. I don't need a pair of them.

How about a sick bird? An illeagle?

Leonore, if I had legal matter in your area, you'd be the first person I'd call. But fortunately for me (if not for you), I don't have any legal issues going on in that part of the world.

Plus, one of my in-laws in the New York area is a lawyer. Maybe I need to ask him if he needs an assistant? But I don't know how you'll fit with his style, which is full of hot air and BS, and you, on the other hand, come across as someone with a low tolerance for such behaviour.

Well that last part is definitely true! I do appreciate the sentiment, though!

Do you know what they like more than people taking their picture? People asking them how long it'll be until the power comes back on.

Snerd, that is still funny every time I hear it. Maybe because I picture Groucho doing it with the cigar in his mouth.
