Sunday at Cafe Ventana

A shiny new cafe has opened next door to my esteemed University. Julie and I gathered there with a couple of our friends last weekend. Free wi-fi, of course. I give it good marks on its pastries, beverages, and overall decor, lower marks on its air conditioning (way too cold) and on its wooden chairs (too small and hard). Next time we're bringing an extension cord and making ourselves comfy in the big easy chairs in the corner.

Unexpected Music at the Festival of Nations last weekend

I think someone had taken its batteries, but he loved it anyway.


Yeah, she was beating his head for a solid 5 minutes at least while they were watching the Polynesian drummers.


I wish I had gotten a better pic of this. His shirt says: "punk's not dead."

Caddy at Costco

Someone drove to Costco last weekend in their lemon yellow classic Caddy, so I had to admire it. No, I wasn't just being lazy and not helping load the car. Such an idea!
