Huh, the two Carl's Jrs that were convenient to me have closed. I know they are one of the more evil fast food chains, but I went to one of those closed locations because the regular worker I always saw was so very nice supporting her having a job seemed like a good tradeoff. I hope she got transferred somewhere or got a better job. Other than cashing in my free rewards I have no incentive to go there anymore, especially as they are all out of my way to get to.
Right. Sir. Honey.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
So Barbetta is closing and its a place I always meant to go but never did. So I'm taking a shot at going. Wish me luck!

I have braved the Xfinity phone tree, and they can't fix it remotely. So now I have a tech visit planned for tomorrow.
But I did The Thing.
Task #1: completed. (Problem, still not resolved yet.)
Going to attempt cleaning the pig cage next.
That will require administering Second Coffee.

Wow, fancy, Trudy. Go, you, trying to have a "Bear" moment, IRL. Good, Hec, cable company onerous should count twice.

Good luck, Trudy! 120 years, pretty good! Piemonte, I think that's where the branch of my family but is Italian but the names sound Austrian is from. Anyway, looking at the menu I'm guessing narrowing down what eat will be a challenge
BTW, it is a pretty nice day at this end of the bay as well. No blue skies, but excellent views of the bridges across the straits, and poppies blooming which always looks extra nice on overcast days
