What’s So Special About November 18?
Oh just some movie called Breaking Dawn.
Just a movie about a wedding, release of pent up tension, and a pregnancy. See, nothing special.
“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.
What’s for Lunch?
Can you guess what’s for lunch?
Here’s the straightforward menu (now with caloric intake).
And also featuring Kona coffee!
Oh, and watch out if you decide to take pictures inside of In-N-Out. They have a strict no pictures policy of their staff or kitchen area. I got a warning about taking pictures of the menu.
You Don’t See This Everyday
Now, here’s something you don’t see everyday. Check out this sign.
And yes, this is indeed a special sequoia forest – there’s even a Starbucks at the end of it!
Spotted: Eddie Vedder Free Song
The poor distribution of the Starbucks and iTunes powered musical Pick of the Week has gotten better. I initially saw Eddie Vedder’s Longing to Belong in the Aloha State, and here it is in the Golden State.
Eddie Vedder for Free
When you stop by Starbucks, pick up the free code for Starbucks’ Song of the Week. This week’s sampling is from Eddie Vedder’s Ukulele Songs.
Shots from the Hop
Some pics from “the hop.”
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.
