The Coffee House

[JonA_CT]

Finished 2nd in the trivia night at “the club” last night (friend’s country club). Definitely feel like there was a trick question at the end.

What was the most watched tv show during the 2017-2018 season? Don’t google it just take your guess...

ETA question specified 18-49 demographic I believe

Sunday Night Football.

Five dead and maybe three injured at shooting this afternoon; at the Capital Gazette, a local newspaper in Annapolis. Work county bomb squad responded to help sweep the building. Shooter in custody (the police were on scene in about 60 seconds), but uncooperative.

The building is adjacent to a shopping mall and close to a hospital.

Gary's been following this. Very sad ... and it was a local paper, not the type that would investigate Congress or international affairs. Another unstable person armed with a shotgun. At the LA Times we had security at all the entrances and exits. All the bigger papers had security, even the middle sized papers had security. To be honest, especially in this day, Gary doesn't understand why the Capital Gazette didn't have security. (Not that it would have/could have stopped the guy, but maybe some security could have slowed him down for some to escape.)

Good morning! Today's big event is a haircut from the lovely Sarah.

Gary has a haircut planned as well, for both he and Miss Maggie.

NFL, if that counts as a "show". Pour moi, it would be Big Bang. But Gary watches more straight 'News' along with 'News & Commentary' than anything else.

Wasn't a great morning but then I don't usually have a great morning. I'm over in Cold Springs for propane. About to head back. It's rather humid and muggy outside.

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. It is 65F presently and overcast. Projected to hit 75F today and it will feel like 75F. Gary updated the firmware on his XT2 ... and it still works. Gary has never had a problem with Fuji firmware upgrades. Wednesday, Gary went clubbing with a friend, Mike. Mike's niece was in town playing a gig at a LA club. Three acts. The first was a pair of women loudly banging on an electronic drum set to some prerecorded noises and repeating seemingly random odd lines ... things like "I am better after the collusion". The second act was a women tossing power point slides up on a screen, large red lettering describing her life. Things like, "There were red and orange Cheetos spilled on the road." Followed by her interpretation of that event, accompanied by prerecorded sounds/music and her playing an electronic keyboard live. Mike's niece has a PhD in music and plays the bass. She was in a trio, a guy playing very odd flutes and an instrument which was a cross between a pipe organ and an accordion, a singer with an exceptional voice and her on the bass. The trio played Bulgarian folk songs. While odd, the music was quite nice and even soothing. Gary took pictures.

@Gary A. @waday @limr @jcdeboever @JonA_CT ... sorry had to run out for a bit! So, our guess was This Is Us since it was wildly popular and had that big Super Bowl lead in. The question was a bit vague as far as was it a single show that was most watched or what was most watched during the season.... It must have been single show. The answer was:

Spoiler: ?????

Roseanne!

Can you believe that? Terrible final question. We lost 20 points on that one and ended up in 2nd place.

Reminds me of the show I love, "Later with Jools Holland". He often has obscure musicians from different parts of the world that are very interesting. He also has icons on the show as well. I trust he is well respected in the music world.

I've got a massage scheduled this afternoon - which is timely because I have a kink in my left shoulder that has been really bugging me the past few days. Dinner out tonight with a friend for his birthday and then tomorrow night the club that my sister-in-law runs is closing forever and there is a big party for all of the regular customers and employees - food, drinks, multiple bands playing motown and classic rock...should be a fun night. I expect to be a bit "dehydrated" on Sunday. I'm off from work after this afternoon through the 5th.

Contractors took today off as the plumber had an emergency with his dog and they are at the point where they cannot continue until he does his work and the plumbing inspector signs off. First quiet day in 2 weeks. No jack hammers, nail guns, compressors, saws... sweet silence!

Gary was on a big job which required two pile drivers, both hammering away all day for months. Oddly, they both finished about the same time. The following day, all the workers were walking around with a "What was that?" look on our faces wondering what happened to all the noise and the shaking ground.

Hmm, I disagree with this. I demand a recount.

Power still out, for about a 3 mile stretch on our road. Went out thus morning and picked up a 30 amp rv ready generator/inverter. Transferred the little bit we had in downstairs unit to kitchen. Lost a little out of botb, but not bad. We figure we saved at least $300 in frozen food between refrigerators and freezer. Love the way the generatir/invested units work. It has an electronic throttle that regulates speed to load. Right now it's only running less than half throttle. It's also super quite


Update: Power company is working on lines, said we should have power shortly

The last of the Chili from days ago along with one tamale. Price is Right on the DVR.
Almost certainly Buttermilk Pie later.
Astros on later as well.
