We haven't had one before, but I have seen them. Paul was pretty upset but the next day he was doing the same thing with Ezzy. Go figure. Lol!

Yes? I figured. I think you get a lot of rain there which translates to some pretty cloudy skies which makes me feel sleepy and kind of depressed. Our winter this year was like that because Lake Michigan 20 miles to iur west didn't freeze and kept sending moisture into the air. Caffeine would definitely help but I only drink it in the am to avoid laying in my bed staring at the ceiling. We grind our beans but have an Eight O'Clock coffee budget so we buy that from Amazon in 6 -11oz. Bag…

It was also known by another name not quite p.c. Nowadays. Good morning, MK;

<p>Good morning, MK; </p>
<p></p>
<p>Well, this is the home of the International-World Headquarters for Harold Shultz's Starbuck's Coffee, and Tully's Coffee, Peet's Coffee, and several other coffee vendors, so the name "Latté Land" just seems to fit. </p>

<p>Good morning, MK; </p>

<p>Well, this is the home of the International-World Headquarters for Harold Shultz's Starbuck's Coffee, and Tully's Coffee, Peet's Coffee, and several other coffee vendors, so the name "Latté Land" just seems to fit. </p>
<p></p>
<p>I would have included the "Seattle's Best Coffee Company" in the list also, but that is a bit obvious, and it really isn't the original name, and it seems to be dwindling since Starbuck's bought the company. Originally it was the Smith Brothers Coffee Company in the single story grey building on the northwest corner of the main roadway intersection in the middle of Vashon Island out in Puget Sound, but when they were given an offer they could not refuse, they did sell the company, including the logo with the vertically oriented red ellipse and the letters SBC on it, but not the company name. It does seem that now Starbuck's is shifting everything over to their green mermaid logo. I have not been on Vashon Island in recent years, so I do not know if the original SBC red oval or ellipse is still on the building. </p>
<p></p>
<p>There are still a few SBC coffee outlets. I did find one in the San Jaquin Valley area off I-5 in Northern Central California during the trip down to Chula Vista in 2015. I admit that I was surprised, and I did patronize it. </p>
<p></p>
<p>And it probably is true that this is one of the most "wired" cities in the US of A. Choose your definition of "wired." All of them have merit and are clearly applicable in a region known for its computer industry. I even recall being able to buy Jolt Cola (remember the movie Jurassic Park?) in the stores here just a few years back. "Jolt Cola, beverage of choice for computer programmers everywhere." </p>
<p></p>
<p>Enjoy; </p>

<p>Ouch! Some cats give no warning, do they when they've decided they've had enough petting? Glad it wasn't anything serious but I'm sure that doesn't help domestic bliss!</p>

Ricky the orange boy is ver sweet and bonded to Paul. He must snuggle with Paul frequently and sleeps on Paul's head. He goes out. Ezzy (Esmeralda) is a bit weird and feisty. She stalks Ricky sometimes. She has strange mannerisms and the other day when Paul was petting her she suddenly wheeled around and bit his hand. Pretty bad. We immediately put alcohol and peroxide on it and antibiotic cream and bandages in it. Two days and looks good. I warned him about trusting her.

<p>Aw thanks - she probably was from a feral litter. Been good for us though and doesn't seem to want to go out - has been content indoors which we are grateful for.</p>

<p>Tell you, those fluff monsters of yours look like they could hold their own against man and beast.</p>

Beautiful! We have s feral cat visitor. He looks like a sleek miniature black panther. I love black cats. We had one named Sooty. She is one of the ones that traveled with us. Yours looks very sweet.

Yes, our cats are rather "large". Ricky came to our front door as a kitten. I thought he was older than eight weeks because he was so big. He weighs in at 19 pounds. We adopted Ezzy when our sweet Haley passed at 22 years old. Ezzy had waited 3 1/2 years to be adopted. She adopted me. She came in her very pudgy body and remains that way. I have seen other photos of calicoes that look very much like her-pretty rotund. We love em all.<br />
Photo is our three girls- on the move!

<p>I absolutely LOVED that image of you going about your tasks with WC on your shoulders. </p>
<p></p>
<p>Post a picture???? I think I sent you a pic of my two furries - but I'll attach another of just Shillelagh for MK. Okay two. Can't have enough kitty pics right? In our photography class it seems 90% have cats and we've made a joke about having a drinking game every time a cat shows up in our critiques! Love the one on her back but the other shows her "wishbone"…</p>

<p>I suppose they are not all Divas, as yours will attest, but of our last two, Shillelagh channels Salem sometimes, they were and are definitely independent-minded. The dog is the preferred snuggle accroutrement, but sometimes during the winter she'll creep up on my lap under my lap blanket while we watch a show. And she demands petting but on her terms. It usually has to be accompanied by sushi /seaweed wrap treats - loves that stuff like it's crack! Highly recommend trying. Not often, but I figure it's a great way to get their minerals in.</p>
