2023 Coffee Shop and Gardens

You think NY traffic is bad with just 1 inch of snow on the ground, you should try Galveston, TX, traffic when it is just a coating on the ground. People, all of a sudden, couldn't handle the road with snow tires. I was (and still am) a seasoned NY driver and to save my own life, I decided to leave my apartment and car, in the early daybreak (5:00 am) to get to work by 7:00 am. I had to take, what passes, as mass transit (buses) to work. Mind you, Galveston is not a big place, it's only 10 minutes drive from the west end to the east end and back again.  But I digress. 1 inch would cause a traffic jam for non-New York drivers.

So true, Fran!   I was born and raised in the *whole* Houston, Tx. area.  That definitely includes Galveston.   East Beach was only 48 mi from our front door on the East Side (channel area it's called).  Hardly anyone down there knew a thing about driving in snow!

Oops, it is now time to shout *HAPPY NEW YEAR* !!!!   

Heeyyy!  We made it through another one!  :D

Happy New Year Everybody!   The neighbors are shooting off their fireworks, and I expect to hear the Fire Engine sirens all through the night because of it.  It was a nice warm day today, clear and beautiful it was!   I am ringing out the Old and in for the New Year with Domino's PIZZA and Diet Coke!   Naw, I didn't  feel like having a drink this year.    I tore up some chicken bites for Mogwai and he just loved it.  I put his plate of chicken on the counter and had my plate of pizza and chicken bites there too, earlier.   Sure doesn't seem like a whole year has already flown by.  Well, it is 2023 and eighteen minutes, and counting!  LOL!

Mornin' all and a Happy New Year to everyone. Rain held off for the pyro last night and the hangover is minimal to non-existent. Got lucky I guess.

Good morning and 
It's a day with plenty sun, and already a wind of storm in the same time!

EDIT: Also, I want to tell you. Starting today, I'm no longer selling stuff on FRM, nor anywhere else. French admin sucks, so I just stop. But I let all products I made in the hands of FRM team. It's to them now.

Good Morning to all....and Happy New Year.....

That sucks indeed Aelin....but Thank You for doing that for the Attic...We need every little bit of income we can get in order to survive the year.  Nothing ever gets cheaper...

Well, I didn't make it to midnight....I did wake up at 2:30AM to turn the TV off.  I didn't miss much from what I saw in the news this morning.

Thanks for setting up the Coffee Shoppe McG....  Thanks for the Fafnir

Morning PDG....we have sleet, fog, and drizzle and who know what else we'll be getting...but it is SLICK and DANGEROUS on the roads this morning....so hopefully everyone is to hungover to go out in this stuff.

Morning Noshoba....Glad to hear the laundry is done....

  :happy-new-year: Good morning and Happy New Year to all.  Sorry *not sorry* that I missed the stroke of twelve here in Killeen.  The pyro was going strong and the critters were all in bed with us attempting to hide.  But all survived.  Just got up and let them out to a fairly warm day.  Connie didn't even want to get up.   I had to as I'm the one who "releases the hounds!"

Now back at puter considering what will do for the rest of the day, besides chillen' out that is.  Think I'll wander over to Fafnir's for some of that good coffee and vittles, then visit a while.

May the New Year bring us all good things.

Morning HS....Warm here also...35 degrees and FOGGY....and as mentioned....No celebrating last night nor watching any celebrating last night LOLOL....

Today is a "ME" day and as soon as I find out what "ME" wants to do...I'll do it.  But my New Years resolution is to finish getting all 16,980 comics cataloged in the program that I'm using.  I have to wait a bit until they have their new Barcode scanner in place...and then I continue on.  Got 8,112 scanned already...but they started updating the program to add the comic value based on condition of the comic. This will keep me busy for a while.

But today I have the hardest job of all.  Got to clean out the kitties ears without being scratched to death....they are small and wily.
