Who Doesn’t Like Boba Fett?
Everyone needs some Boba Fett, the bounty hunter from Star Wars, in their lives.

Unsuccessful Lightning Photo
See the lightning captured in the picture? Neither do I. And that’s my failed attempt at capturing lightning during a recent lightning show.
Faucet Notes
Some notes about kitchen faucets for home kitchen renovation.
Like the look of this faucet. Matte, brushed nickel finish is clean and doesn’t show waterspots. Nice height to easily move dishes underneath. Curvy and smooth, but…
The height has a bigger disadvantage of splashing water. Since the water falls from higher up, the stream of water hitting dishes is forceful and splatters all over. The handle on the side isn’t so easy to adjust the force of the water. Â I don’t have the feel for getting the water pressure just right. It’s either too much or too little. It is easy to change the temperature of the water though.
Must look up Hansgrohe brand. Â Product feels solidly made.
Gotta Try the Dam Diner
With a name like the Dam Diner, you have to give this eatery a try. Down the street from the San Joaquin Hatchery with a view of Friant Dam, the nondescript diner sits there on the side of the road.
On the menu, you can find typical American comfort food along with the Dam Specials and some other oddities. For the best of the menu, check out the Dam Diner’s reviews on Yelp.
I had to try their namesakes, the Dam Burger with curly fries and a chocolate shake. The burger tasted fresh, the curly fries were like any other curly fries, and the shake was good and even better since they gave all the extra shake.
If you happen to be in the Friant area, you must eat at the Dam Diner. Just overlook the misspelling of “Fraint.”

“Home of the Trophy Trout”
Just a short ways away is the San Joaquin Hatchery, the “Home of the Trophy Trout.” And yes, there is a lot of trout in this fish hatchery. The facility is free to visit and you can buy fish food to feed the ravenous trout of different sizes. Just don’t molest the fish.
If you stay there long enough, you can watch feeding time where a golf cart spews out food pellets driving the fish into a feeding frenzy.
The Grouchy Passenger Has Good Dental Hygiene
Remember that Grouchy Passenger? Well, I give him this. He has good dental hygiene. After eating on the flight, he brought out dental floss and proceeded to clean his teeth.
Then he threw the used floss on the floor. Yep, see.
Sorry, the picture is blurry, but I had to rely on my iPhone’s digital zoom to double check what I thought I amazingly witnessed.

This Made Me a Little Sad
I will admit that this sight made me a little sad – a Starbucks closed for the day.
The Grouchy Passenger
This guy in front of us is surely a grouch. He needs a drink or pills. Seriously.
Even before take off, he’s fanning himself like crazy to cool off. The AC’s been off for a minute. During the flight, he’s reacting to every bump and is clearly displeased at every tray opening behind him. He starts to look at his watch hoping this 5+ hour flight will go by faster even though we’re only 45 minutes in the air.
And there are other of his family members in other seats and aisles. But instead of trading seats, El Groucho stays put and acts all grumpy.
This one’s for you Sir Grump-a-lot.
Complimentary Coffee
Of course I’ll have some complimentary coffee. No free music but free Starbucks coffee.
