FLIPPING MY LID ... AT 7TH AND MONTANA

                             

If you're wondering whatever happened to those "Lazy, Hazy, Crazy Days of Summer," look no further than 7th and Montana.  An Anonymous Barista caused a stir this morning at Our Favorite Starbucks by simply standing near the Pastry Counter and doing little else.  "Isn't it strange?," said one onlooker, "He's just standing there, leaning against the counter, almost as if he's waiting for something."  Moments later, the Barista, as if in answer to our question, announced in a loud voice, "I'm waiting for Oatmeal Lids."  Frankly, the whole incident was enough to make me Flip my Lid.  Why pay someone perfectly good money to wait for Oatmeal Lids when rumor has it there's a whole shipment of Apple Fritters on the way ...!
