The Coffee House

[Gary A.]

Buenos Tardes Coffee Hosers. It is 4:00 p.m., 73F, but pretty humid at 63%, but still comfortable. Today was a day of World Cup, Belgium-Tunisia, Mexico-South Korea and Germany-Sweden. Germany-Sweden was the absolute best. Germany was clearly the better team, but the gritty Swedes refused to be overwhelmed and steamrollered. Germany finally scored the winning goal with less than a minute to go in Stoppage Time. With no US Team in the games, it is easy for Gary to root for the underdog.

This morning, Miss Maggie was one of nine pooches in a pack. Max, Winston, Larry, Sophia Marie, Buddy, Honey, Lucy, Michelle and Maggie were running free and happy in the park. It was great fun for all, chasing, getting chased, roughhousing and plunging into the creek. It's a dog life.​

Got a reprieve on the weather yesterday so was able to get a little work done outside. Mid to high 80's with 45% humidity and a nice breeze, it was wonderful. Today it's back to the temperatures in the 90's and humidity the right there with it.

Yesterday we hit the Segerstrom Center, a huge performing art facility in Orange County. It was Cubano Night, a free outdoor concert on the patio. We packed up a picnic, some vino and enjoyed a very pleasant evening listening to wonderful Cuban Jazz in a small, intimate venu on a cool night.

We had hamburgers tonight. I'm thinking of Blue Bell. But still pretty full from dinner.

What's Blue Bell?

Ice cream. It's like crack to southerners.

Things are much different here. The humidity goes up as the temp goes down and vice versa ... as the temps go up the air gets drier. When it gets hot ... the humidity drops into the 20's. During 'Fire Season' the humidity will be in the teens.

Back, Mary Lou, Maggie and Gary are back from our second walk of the day. Presently, Gary has 18,490 steps for the day. For Gary, that is pretty good. We are relaxing a bit before dinner. Mary Lou brought out some salami, cheese and crackers ... Gary some vino and we're watching the Dodgers beat the Mets.

Miss Maggie watching James Corden and Sir Paul McCartney.

This video is great.



Well worth watching.

I wish, current temperature 75. Current humidity 100% and it isn't raining

Went out today with camera for an hour and a half. Felt uninspired today. Watched the Tigers a little, they played really bad. Film rolls piling up. Golf tomorrow, not feeling that either.

Good thing they are playing well or Arizona would be running away with the division.

These musicians played last night, but above images are them playing in different groups. Just a bit odd.
