The Coffee House

[davidharmier60]

We used to get a newspaper. But it was such a liberal rag that we quit.
Dave gets comics online. Yahoo tries to tell Dave what's going on but that is also liberal. Even Fox News is getting stale.
Used to listen to Michael Berry and get my news from him. But I don't drive to Houston every weekday anymore.

I'd rather hear nothing than what ABC, CBS or NBC or even CNN thinks of what happens.

By the way Dave had 5 hours and 10 minutes today. Apparently a blue norther or a frigid blast is coming just in time for marquee on Wednesday morning. Yippee!

A nice Dutch couple bought my D3 today. Now I have only the stuff left that I really use on a regular basis which is still a lot!

The look so happy because I served them really strong freshly ground coffee

Gary learned a new word from reading the paper "imbroglio".

I know this word but I forgot what it means ...

imbroglio
(imˈbrɔʎʎo)
gli

masculine noun

1. (truffa) swindle, con (inf)
   niente imbrogli! no cheating!
2. 1. (groviglio) tangle
   2. (figurative, situazione confusa) mess
   cacciarsi in un imbroglio to get into a mess

British English: scam /skæm/ NOUN
A scam is an illegal trick, usually with the purpose of getting money from people or avoiding paying tax.
They were participating in an insurance scam.
American English: scam

I need a vat of coffee. No, I need it intravenously, just hook me up for the day. Yes, even though it's past lunchtime.

Wore myself out yesterday. This morning was the first in quite some time that I got up and couldn't move for a minute. Then took a step... then another, then got going. The good thing is now I have to have done an awfully lot to be in that shape the next day! lol

After some picture taking in a wonderful almost 60 degrees of sunshine, it was getting close to dusk so we did some driving thru a couple of neighborhoods with older buildings and holiday decorated store fronts, with lights coming on but not yet dark. Then to top it off, there we were coming down a sloping curving road and all of sudden, there was the full moon. So we were getting into a smaller city that had white Christmas lights on the trees where there are businesses, the town hall & library, etc. And I had a camera with me! well, more than one but I had used up my film. So even with a 90mm got some pictures of the moon with tree branches and lights. I hope, I'm too tired to go get the digital to look at the back of it! Took a glance thru last night.

And every time we stopped the temperature had dropped. And there I was in not much more than an almost summery shirt. On the early 10pm news it had dropped almost 30 degrees - no wonder when I got home I got out of the car saying I was freezing! I was. Went from summer to winter in the same day.

Mary Lou is checking out the Hamilton tickets for today. Cheapest tickets are around $350 each. Gary has no plans for tonight.

I think that word means you've gotten yourself into a fine tangled mess.

The definition Gary gets is “... an extremely confused, complicated, or embarrassing situation.”

A convoluted mess. Blew it big time. You've done it now...

 

[davidharmier60]

Hard to imagine much confusing Gary.

what is Hamilton? And what is your monthly budget for tickets? must be in the thousands!

I feel the connotation is intermingled and soup with a lot of ingredients. In German we would say: "this **** is steaming"

In another life I attended shows both on and off Broadway, and I don't remember the tickets being that expensive

The Eagle and the old blizzard have come home to roost again. Time to rest up for the next journey.. Had a great time took in several Christmas Shows, ate way to much and gave the wife her shopping fix for awhile.

A hip-hop musical about one of America’s founding fathers, Alexander Hamilton.

Mary Lou is checking everyday to see if the price drops on the day of a performance. So far no luck.
