The Coffee House

[waday]

I have 2 super powers and one of them is that I am not allergic to mosquito bites. They land on me, they rarely bite me (too bitter???) but even when they do, I do not get an itchy bump. Princess is like a buffet for them and must douse herself in bug spray if going out at dusk or later.

That's how my wife and I are. My wife rarely gets bit, while I'll have a gazillion red, incredibly itchy bites within minutes of being outside at dusk or later. Ugh.

England Scores!

That was early. Wimbledon's on two ESPN channels but I can't get real into it (did see Federer's out). I'm having hockey withdrawal and it's not even the middle of July. I need them to bring back Pro Beach Hockey - ramp it up! Wonder if that's on a DVD, maybe YouTube...?

Mosquitoes always seem to like me too. Would one of those flamethrowers work on them?

But really, what on earth would you do with one of those things? Probably just a matter of time before somebody sets who knows what on fire and causes an injury/accident. Elon Musk may have some interesting ideas but the practical aspects of things, not so much. He's like a kid that needs a new toy to stay occupied and out of trouble.

Or give him one of those Scripto lighters (do they still make them the same way??! lol) that you can take off the top, turn the dial and crank up the butane, then take it to a concert.

Now see, does this make sense?? We can't take lighters to concerts anymore but he's selling flamethrowers.

An AHL coach lives in my neighborhood, and he's currently moving to work for another team. He and his wife were always very nice and friendly. Sad to see them leaving.

You mean there's an actual end to this! ?

It's interfering with Judge Judy, we can't have that! lol

Not so famous movie lines -
'I'll buy you the best cup of coffee in Vancouver when we land.'

I took a break from soccer when I was wondering why a cow was chasing/batting a soccer ball in an ad in the background and what the ad was for anyway. Then I started wondering what it would be like to take photos of those ads because the light seems to pulsate... backlit signs in a hockey arena I can do.

I'm curious now what AHL team... The things I have to ponder - will the cow with the soccer ball ever come back? will the plane in this movie ever land? will somebody score and win this game for England? All this waiting for the dryer load to get done.

 

[vintagesnaps]

The plane landed after a lot of screeching brakes and somebody offered to buy the pilot a drink. Whew!

A break??

The Tablecloths beat the Queen.

Unlucky England, but you did me proud to be English

Well, I guess it's Go Croatia time! We could have a first time winner in just a few more days!

Nice grapes Gary! I have 2 super powers and one of them is that I am not allergic to mosquito bites. They land on me, they rarely bite me (too bitter???) but even when they do, I do not get an itchy bump. Princess is like a buffet for them and must douse herself in bug spray if going out at dusk or later.

I would give a body part to have that super power (okay, a non-essential body part. Like some nail clippings.)

I once had 52 mosquito bites, all on my legs from the knees down. At their worst, I couldn't walk for more than 5 minutes before my legs were on fire. It was just awful. Had scars on my legs for about 2 weeks after they finally stopped itching.
