Out And About -- March 6, 2018
Biking: talk about another incredible day for biking. A little bit on the cool side (but just barely) and with gloves and a jacket it's perfect. The only problem: starting this early in the morning the traffic is very, very heavy and a bit scary on some stretches. Compromise: I will bike to the old Starbucks I used to visit often and then once traffic dies down after the morning rush, I will bike up to Grapevine.More renovation: yesterday I stopped at a newly renovated McDonald's. It blew me away. Really, really nice, but the "funny" thing was this: the restaurant was markedly improved but it was "same old" menu. Don't get me wrong. I enjoy McDonald's food but somehow they need to "stretch." It will be interesting if they can (stretch).
Today, I'm visiting the Starbucks I used to visit daily for weeks on end -- maybe three years ago. I haven't been here in ages. And it has completely changed. The "bar" takes up almost the entire length of the long room. And it's a real bar. I can't tell if they serve wine or beer in the evenings -- I know Starbucks was thinking about going in that direction at some of their sites -- and this would have been one of those sites, but I can't tell for sure. And I'm not going to ask or check the menu. Either it's easy to see or it's not. Instead of library-style tables designed for six to eight people, this Starbucks now has only one large group table; meant for four, it can squeeze in six but that's it. Instead, the coffee shop now has six small round tables arranged in such a way it would be difficult for more than two people to congregate at each table. The drive-thru and the "uber" pick-up is busy, busy, busy.
Blogging: other than (barely) keeping up with the Bakken, I am not doing as much blogging as I used to. After a frenetic 18 months that began in October, 2016, I am purposely taking a break. I assume my readership will plummet. That's fine. I am still not watching CNBC (or any television for that matter, except NASCAR and some golf) and haven't looked at the stock market news in days. I saw the Drudge Report link yesterday and I heard the opening on talk radio driving Sophia to Tutor Time but that's as much as I know.
