The Coffee House

[sashbar]

Sashbar, how long did you wait until that particular group of people walked by the window? Because I could interpret that shot as "culture clash".

Probably 40 seconds Just took 6 or 7 shots, did not expect anything special, this woman was actually wearing burka, but she turned away and that spoiled it all. Could have been a decent shot, here it is not even clear what she is wearing. It was on my way home after work.

I think you are under-estimating your shot. It is clear (at least to me) what she is wearing, and I found that juxtaposition of what her clothes represent about her and that of the printed message to be quite evocative. In fact that fact that she is facing away actually makes the shot resonate with me more.

Man ... I was sitting on the ground or on my knees all freakin' day. I am sore. Opened the frig and it smells of fish ... guess what we're having for dinner ... tossed a Pacifico ana Stella w/some seasoning on the Mahi Mahi ... tossed a beer in me and stretched my legs trimming and mowing the backyard.

Everybody won a ribbon. This was a JACA event and today was Shiba's tomorrow is Akita's. The dogs were beautiful, but were the opposite of my faithful Cook. They were shedding like a banshee, extremely vocal and wouldn't listen. This was so much different from the Westminster Dog Show you see on Tv. Hell, a judge was nearly bitten by one of the beasts. There were a couple of dogs that were well behaved, but overall they were quite the unruly crowd. I don't know if it was the breed's basic temperament, (or rather distemperment - I just made up that word ... I think it fits.), or upbringing. Okay done with my whine, time for some wine.

With Mary Lou on the injured list, were not going anywhere. So I just sit here, download my pooch pictures, drink wine and post ... sorta like the thread that started this whole mess.

 

[Gary A.]

I tells Mary Lou "... maybe we should go to some Wheaten events ... like this Shiba thing. I thing it might be fun and the Cook would certainly love it." Mary Lou looks around on the internet and finds a club thing and then she starts looking at a Wheaten rescue site ... and she starts laughing ... only one dog on the entire site looks like it may have some Wheaten genes ... too funny.

 

[Gary A.]

This Fess Parker is quite good.

I'm 5 miles away from 400 miles on my bike. Just taking a small break for my feet. We were walking quite a bit today and sometimes that aggravates a spot on my right foot that also hits the pedal so I just need to take the pressure off for a minute.

So far, I'm liking the new Mini. Punchy little thing, especially considering it's a turbo 3 banger.

You really should get some toe clips for the bike, it will up your mileage and the workout.

At Fess Parker's winery, they sell, (at a premium), these little raccoon caps that fit on top of a wine bottle.

Don't knoe if they even make toe clips for this thing. It has straps though, so my foot is anchored on the pedal.

... I think Brian may be right ... we lost a senior class which has been replaced with freshmen. Man a lot of the new stuff is garbage.
