Barista Extraordinaire Nada made the scene today after what seemed like a brief absence at 7th and Montana. Despite some speculation that she was still smoldering after last month's "smoking" incident, Nada explained that she's been working the "night shift" lately. "It's easier," she said. "Less hassles, less headaches!"
Good news, Starbucks fans. Our Favorite Coffee Conglomerate is taking one step closer to total world domination as workmen put the finishing touches on what will become the third Starbucks in a one block radius on Montana. According to workers on the scene, the new Starbucks at 7th and Lincoln -- just steps away from 7th and Montana and across the street from the Starbucks in Pavilions -- opens on Friday. I inspected the facility earlier this week, together with Rita, and we both came to the conclusion that the new location suffers from "Bad Corner Karma!"
If you've lost a "beautiful, clean, adult cat" in the vicinity of 4th and Palisades, today might be your "lucky" day. While an Anonymous Good Samaritan cared enough to rescue a lost cat and post a sign at 7th and Montana searching for its owner, the sign itself raises some interesting questions. For starters, there is no call-to-action. How do you claim the cat? Where is it being held? What's the matter, cat got their tongue ...? 
It was a match made in Heaven this morning as our local King of the Road -- the man who leaves his Tioga Motor Home permanently parked on neighborhood streets -- finally found what might be described as the Perfect Parking Space. His trailer (California License #5XSA295) is currently parked alongside Our Favorite Fixer Upper, the home at 7th and Alta which has been gradually disintegrating for years!
A mysterious newcomer took environmentalism to a new level at 7th and Montana this morning by fishing a used coffee cup out of the garbage and bringing it into Starbucks to get a half-price "refill." For an encore, the gentleman -- pictured here -- grabbed an unused chair in what insiders suspect was an obvious effort to redecorate his apartment.
I just took one last walk around Kapaluah this morning before winging my way to the airport and home sweet home. Here are some final parting shots including: More Breathtaking Vistas, a Banyan Tree, My Colleagues Judy (from Hong Kong) and Nick (from Tokyo), and Some Disgusting Mold Growing on a Tree. Enjoy ...!
Imagine my surprise as my stroll to the "General Store" in Kapaluah today became a game of "Dodge Ball." More than a dozen golf balls had landed in the parking lot and lodged themselves in a grate on the sidewalk. Evidently, the store was a bit too close for comfort to the golf course. Next time, I'll bring my Pith Helmet ...!
