The Coffee House

Both youngsters have very bright and expressive eyes. Beautiful children

Psst...I think the stairs give character to photos!

Jon- I echo Dean, you’re blessed with two beautiful children. (Your steps suck, but the children are wonderful.)

A block away there are three parties with a hundreds of people walking around. Many in the neighborhood have tables set up in their driveways stocked with candy for the kids and all sorts of bevereges for the adults. Gary’s next door neighbor has a dark house and they are in their patio drinking. Gary has called them out on it. Gary has passed out some vino to adults he knows. Maggie has decided to bark at the kids. Gary is having some one-on-one time with Maggie discussing her bark. Gary thinks they’re finding some common ground to resolve the matter.

Mary Lou has purchased more candy than Trick-or-Treaters ... Gary has discovered fun sized candy.

I bought a couple of bags of candy in hopes some would stop by. No such luck. Oh well, I'll share with coworkers.

Miss the days when we'd get 100+ kids. Chaotic, but fun.

Back when we lived in Houston was the last time we had numbers. Up here they go for tightly packed neighborhoods.
Thursday. Grocers Supply comes. Usually after I'm done but not always.
Back to the grind.

Morning all, the rain has cleared off now but is forecast to come back later. It is not as cold as it has been so that is nice.

As most members look here so if you have a FREE Flickr account you need to read this as it looks like I will be shutting my free account down.

Let’s be candid.

Just checked my account looks like I'm halfway to the 1,000 photo limit since 2016. I figured there would be changes when it was spun off to SmugMug, earlier this year. I'm not sure I'll go with the pro plan at $50 a year, as I have other online storage options available. I mostly use it to link anyhow, which I can do with the other online sites, or I might just do routine housekeeping to keep it below the 1,000 photo limit.

Leo thinks that there was nothing to call them out on. If they want to have a quiet night, just leave them alone.

Apparently, I have like 5,900 photos. Ugh. I guess I need to figure out if I need to move my photos elsewhere, as I'm not really a fan of having to pay for yet another yearly service. I'm sure it's worth it for some people, but not for me.

I have two Flickr Free accounts, the main one has well over 4,000 images so I think I will be busy downloading the best ones, then see if I can get both accounts under the 1,000 limit while I search for a good/great website to build up.

This was inevitable as they didn’t seem to have a good way to monetize the site other than monthly fee.

I won’t pay. I already have storage with Prine and photo sharing with Google photos. I’ll keep my account under 1k photos and use it for hosting only. I’m sure a lot of people will just delete the old stuff. It’s a shame that a lot of old threads will now have blank spots in them.

I have 3 accounts. My personal one, one for family stuff and one for photos I take and want to share with others like the Softball photo shoot I did last year for UNE.

Anti-social behavior is not condoned in this neighborhood. Once a year children get dressed up and come to houses. If you don't want to give candy to teens dressed up in Tee-Shirts ... Gary understands that ... so close up shop at 9:00 p.m.

The neighbors Gary speaks of, have extremely loud pool parties nearly every stinkin' Saturday. Gary can hear them arguing who is the drunkest over their radio which gets louder as they get drunker. One day a year, buy some candy and be pleasant ... let the children have have a good time at one's personal expense. Gary says Bah Humbug to those who feel they need private time on a children's holiday. Pick another day.

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. Mary Lou and Gary enjoy this little, very oddball, theatre next door in Fullerton. There are two connected stages one seats about sixty and the other seats about 100. The first show we saw at the Maverick was Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, which was just a super experience. Recently, we attended a fun show last week, "The Night of the Living Dead" and it was another grand time. Tickets went on sale at midnight for another show, "Santa Clause Conquers the Martians". By 8:00 a.m. most of the shows were sold out and Gary had to scramble to find any tickets. Who knew that Santa Clause Conquers the Martians was so popular? Who knew that people would buy all the tickets in the wee hours after Halloween? Our next show at the Maverick is Plan 9 from Outer Space.
