We finally returned home after almost a months travel.
We had been reading the 6 Starbucks in our area had shut down and recently reopened. No one knows why.
I was approaching one this morning started to turn into the parking lot to head to the drive up window. A lady had her signal on to make a left turn into the Starbucks. I stopped and waved her in ahead of me.
I ordered and eventually made my way to the drive up window.
She paid for my coffee and was long gone.

This is much-watch stuff. This guy is a rocket scientist -- literally. He's a former NASA engineer. I have watched many of his videos, and have seen all the generations of his "Porch Pirate" videos. For those who may not know that term, Porch Pirates are d-bags who steal packages from peoples porches -- a big thing during the holidays.

I had the Sheraton Hotel Air conditioning Contract near Los Angeles Airport.
Lots of famous and wealthy people held rooms there for the entire year. They rarely used them, paid for the entire year so it was an easy way to avoid morning traffic by spending the night before. Their flight just minutes away with the shuttle.
Stevie Nicks occasionally spent the night and slept in the same bed as her female assistant.
I've raised daughters and though they all had separate beds they'd all pile into one bed with their friends on sleep overs. It's no big deal for girls to do that. It doesn't mean anything.
Somehow the Spanish language news media got word of it and played Nicks and her assistant sharing a bed differently and tried to make something outta nothing.
That story failed and soon died a quiet death.
LissaC, you made my day!For the sake of fun, Google is giving you the opportunity to create your own blob opera. Select the Christmas tree and they'll all be wearing Christmas hatsBlob Opera - Google Arts & Culture.
"Art"

I have to give a bit of history. Thursday, 12/3 my sweet kitty, Daisy Faye went off of her food and vomited. Not unusual. She occasionally gets a tummy upset and barfing fur balls is common. She is a long hair cat. Friday - not eating, vomiting bile, extreme lethargy. Friday afternoon I called my vet. He closes at noon on Friday. Baby Girl is sick and getting sicker by the hour. The emergency clinic does not open until 5 P.M. I took Daisy to the emergency clinic. Blood work was needed. Daisy freaks out at the vet office. She is terrified. So she had to be sedated for test. Blood test done. A very young, inexperienced vet with no self confidence told me it could be this or it could be that but I really don't know. My confidence level was zero. She gave Daisy a shot to reduce stomach distress and subdural fluid. I took my baby home and watched her suffer through the weekend. Early Monday I called my Vet, brought Daisy in. She had fever 104 degrees. Normal is 101 t0 101 1/2. She has no fleas, ear mites or intestinal parasites. I love my Vet. He is up front and honest. He will never suggest unnecessary test. He did have to sedate Daisy in order to examine her. She freaks out from fear at the vet's office. His diagnosis was fever caused by an unknown infection. He gave her a shot to reduce her fever and a long term (2 week) injection of antibiotics. For two days my baby did not eat, drank very little water and was as limp as a wet dishrag. She gradually began to improve. She began to eat a little, move around a little more. She gradually improved one day at a time. Sunday 12/13 my baby girl had bright, shiny eyes. She was attentive, eating well and being a DIVA. BIG SMILE.
We are both crazy about our two cats. They are our babies. The vet bill were outrageous. $500 total. $385 from the emergency clinic. Worth every penny. Our girls are our joy. I smile every time I look at my bright eyed baby.
