The Coffee House

[Gary A.]

Buenas Dias Coffee Hosers. So far 100,000 people have been evacuated from the fires out here. Yesterday was a calm day, but today the Santa Ana winds combined with the fire are expected to 80mph. Not a good day for firefighters. Yesterday UCLA suspended classes.

When classes are canceled, do the watch shops hire extra security?

Nah, the ringleader is moving to another school.

Gary did see Dunkirk in 4D ... at sea the seats swayed and vibrated when in the air. Puffs of air shot past one's ear during shootouts and water was sprayed when waves crashed ... totally distracting. Gary much prefers a glass of wine with his feet up and Miss Maggie on is lap when watching a movie.

I bet an X-rated film is worth the extra money in a 4D theater

Gary will refrain from a disgusting and juvenile response. (But the guys in the locker room are laughing.)

Ugh, sorry!

I love these 1950ies architecture as long as it remains undisturbed:

There was a dusting of snow overnight.
Wonder if anybody will show up.

Congrats to Peg on her Goddaughters new job, that looks fun and smoke is happy she is conservatively dressed.

We had accidents everywhere from Michigan to Ohio yesterday. Just a tiny bit of snow, people driving like idiots. Made my commute down south annoying to say the least. Just as bad coming home, once I entered Michigan, I took a state route home.

Did manage to pick up my winter shooting gloves yesterday, found a pair of grippy gloves that fit me (Menards) and had a friend hinge the trigger finger for me. Works like a charm.

Business is good but I started a little too early. I wanted my new customers to send in stuff next year. Not even a week into December and I already blew past last year's December numbers. Looks like I will be blessed with a 20% better than budget sales increase, and a 25% better than budget expense to sales. Today is a big day for me, should find out that I landed a huge account, I'll need it, the boss is on to my strategy and socked me with an unreasonable 2018 budget. I'll teach him what unreasonable is....

Fresh hair cut, check. Pressed khakis, check. Pressed dress shirt, check. Pressed and starched solid tie, check. Polished red wind shoes, check. Clean underwear, check. Nose hairs clipped, check. Camera loaded with TriX and extra roll in jacket, check. Gary's coffee consumed, check. Oatmeal with raisens consumed, check. Morning bowel movements complete, check. On the road again.

My job is easier most days than taking care of 2 kids while sick would be.

Let’s hope I made the right decision.

I lost. My principal saw me early this morning and called me 15 minutes later to let me know that he found coverage for my classes and that I was to head out after homeroom.

very scenic shots, smoke!

We'll be getting in on that action tomorrow. Our forecast here is for 3-6 inches. Only difference? The mall will still be packed here!

I think people always drive like idiots, only the effect is better seen with some snow in the picture

Thanks Frank, at least for now it's pretty, tomorrow - NOT. LOL Walking Sadie this morning along the trails was beautiful. The snow coming down, no wind, it was so quiet and peaceful.

we have a lot of snow and hail but it is still too warm, it turns to dirty water as soon as it hits the ground

So far the roads are clear, they were warm enough to shed it, but this afternoon and this evening may be a different story as the temperatures are dropping rapidly, and they expect the moisture will be turning to ice.
