Props to the coffee ladies for playing the original Shocking Blue version of Venus.
Don’t get me wrong, as one with solid GenX music roots I love the 1986 bananarama version, but the original is better.

They should open a glass factory there to capitalize on the name of the city and the county.
We toured Corning/steuben glass when I was in high school and mom dragged me up to Rochester to see the city where I was born for the first time since I was months old. I thought it was cool.

I found a modern French Drip pot (of course they didn’t call it that) and it gets here Saturday. I can’t wait to use it. And I’m hoping the grounds chamber will fit the 1930s enamel one on a shelf in the kitchen.

This will be the next time I purchase a new Apple Watch. Until then, I’m perfectly happy buying used at a fraction of the price. Picked up an OG Ultra for $300 when the Ultra 2 came out, and I’ll do the same when I want to update it. Until non-invasive glucose is on the Watch.
