Yeah, that's fair, but I mean at a hipster coffee shop, how many people are actually gonna pay cash?

See here it's confirmed that the latte drinking millenials actually hate the lower classes smh

Ha. I meant the being robbed part. Homeless person buying coffee at hipster coffee shop is dumb, it's way cheaper at 7-11. Also I'm solid Gen-X. I remember how underwhelmed I was by the novel.

Sold a nice, not especially common pedal today, on eBay. Price was reasonable.

First put it on sale five months and one day ago.

Clusters of watchers hovering over it for ages--some coming, some going--but no one pulling the trigger until today.

There's "slow" and then there's . . . ssssssssssllllllloooooooooooooooowwwwwwwww.

Thank you. Harvest is right now. We have now brought in 80% of our grapes at this point. Just waiting for a bit of Mendocino County Chardonnay, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Grenache to ripen. We picked a good amount before the heat wave and a bunch this past week before this rain.

My wife and I took a road trip and a Hot Snakes album popped up and my wife asked, "Are there any younger/modern bands doing the Hot Snakes thing?"

And I had zero idea.

Meat Wave is the first band that comes to mind.

Yes! Good call, they totally slipped my mind.

Heading down the hill to the food pod a while ago and watched a house cat cross the street, run back and jump against the side of a car, then run in front of a big pickup (driven by a co-worker) and get loudly crunched by both sets of wheels. Was really horrible to see and hear.
