yes, we have no banana (creme frappucinos)

Oh, one more thing about the San Francisco heat wave. Saturday evening Jeff and I still were comfortable in shorts and t-shirts at 9:00 when we drove his uncle and cousin to the bus station. Afterwards, before taking his mom back home, we decided to stop at a Starbucks for refreshing frosty frappucinos. The parking lot at Starbucks was extremely busy, with dozens of people lounging around outside--pretty unusual for that suburban shopping center--but when we went inside we discovered that the unusually high temperatures had generated a run on cold drinks that evening; when we arrived, they were completely out of ice and couldn't even make an iced coffee, much less a blended drink.

About me

Thom Watson was born in a "pro-America" part of the country but then grew up to become a gay, liberal, Harvard-educated atheist living in northern California. He has come to terms with the fact that this pretty much disqualifies him from ever holding public office.
