My espresso consumption is one of the constants in my life. I've been drinking two lattes a day since the fall of 2010. Last week I got a bug up my butt. Physiologically many things, including my digestion, have slowed down (enough said). I was drinking non fat and thought it may be the cause. Last Friday I tried Almond Milk. It was OK to drink or use on cereal but it made an awful latte. I wasted some of the excellent espresso beans from Steeltown Coffee and Tea when I poured it down the drain.
I was going to try SOY MILK but I read the carton was printed with SOY INK. Soy is used for ink? How good can the milk be? Tell you the truth, I don't know what soy anything is. I thought SOY was like TOFU. I eat TOFU burgers, I think? Does Tofu taste like cardboard? Or feet?
I bet soy is liquid squeezed from soy beans. I don't like soy beans, Lima beans, kidney beans, pinto beans, garbanzo beans, wax beans or green beans. I think I'll go back to drinking regular coffee, with chemical creamers.

August 29th a bike share program began in San Francisco. Bikes are located throughout the downtown area of the city. They are available to anyone who purchases membership-priced at $88 annually, $22 for three days or $9 for 24 hours. Bikes are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Members can take unlimited rides of up to 30 minutes, picking up a bike at any of the stations, using a key fob or electronic code, and dropping them off at any station. Since the idea of bike sharing is to make the bicycles available for short trips, additional fees are levied for longer rides.
The program is successful in several other major cities. San Francisco is starting small with 350 bikes in 35 locations. The hope is for 3,000 bikes next year although that will depend on the more enterprising citizens of S.F.
The first bicycle was stolen the second day of the program. The thief kept his face away from the camera and covered the bike share logo with what looked like toilet paper from one of the many free street side bathrooms.

Am I jealous of people who trip over money? I really don't think so.
Wanda and I often talk about what we would do with an abundance of money. We would move to a newer house and I would trade in the Plymouth. It would be nice to have a drivers door window I could roll down. It really is a little embarrassing when I open the door at a toll booth (here's your $5). I would get a Volt or something similar. We would keep it simple and have fun giving lots of it away.
And we would travel.
I just read that Beyonce and family spent $350,000 on her 32nd birthday party. Last week TV Guide magazine printed earnings of TV stars. Marc Harmon of NCIS makes over $525,000 per episode. Many are in the $250,000 range. And we pay the freight every time we buy something. Hell, a couple of the actors on the "Simpsons" earn $300,000 per episode, and all they do is talk.
I sure hope some of that money goes to good causes.
Today is Teddy Bear Day....I have no idea what that means.
What's with Florida? The heat, humidity and bugs?
Two from there, more proof the country is full of sensible compassionate people.
Jeffery Gilhoolie, 27 and his wife, 22-year-old Francis are both in jail on charges of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.
Last Friday they placed an order at a Dunkin' Donuts drive-thru window. When they tasted their coffee they noticed the employee had given them caramel rather then vanilla flavoring.
The couple went inside and asked to speak to the manager, but before the manger arrived a fight broke out with employee Hal Eversod. "The woman said she was going to punch me in the face," says Eversod. Before I could react the man jumped over the counter and started hitting me. He pulled a gun, threatened me and hit me over the head with it."
Shocked customers looked on in horror as other workers attempted to break up the fight. Gilhoolie claimed to be a security guard and said he had a permit to carry the gun. Police arrested the couple on site. He is being held on $20,000 bail and she on $3,000. It's not clear if either has an attorney.
A spokesperson from the D.A. office said part of a settlement will include community service and a switch to decaf.
A 57-year-old man irate over peanut shells on his lawn is accused of assaulting a neighbor who continually fed peanuts to squirrels.
Apparently having had enough of the littering creatures, Eugene Warren went to the home of his neighbor, Ernest Pugh, and tried to forcibly pull him outside.
A Philadelphia woman has turned up alive nearly two weeks after her family held a funeral and burial for her.
Services for 50-year-old Sharolyn Jefferson were held August 28th.

A 57-year-old man irate over peanut shells on his lawn is accused of assaulting a neighbor who continually fed peanuts to squirrels.
Apparently having had enough of the littering creatures, Eugene Warren went to the home of his neighbor, Ernest Pugh, and tried to forcibly pull him outside.
Pugh, who was previously aware of Warren's issue, didn't want the disagreement to escalate so he held on to his door frame and held his body in place. Warren refused to calm down and when police arrived he was arrested on a charge of battery.
Pugh reportedly suffered scratches during the altercation.
A police officer said, "It's a little crazy for neighbors to fight over nuts."
Such a shame. It was a really nice service.A Philadelphia woman has turned up alive nearly two weeks after her family held a funeral and burial for her.
Services for 50-year-old Sharolyn Jefferson were held August 28th.
Jefferson's mother, Carolyn Moody, says the woman in the casket was a dead (no pun intended) ringer for her daughter, except for the nose. She says the family assumed something had happened to the nose during the embalming process.
Jefferson showed up at a mental health facility in Philadelphia last week.
A spokesman for the Philadelphia Department of Health says Jefferson's son and a social worker who knows her had viewed pictures of a dead woman’s body and identified it as being hers.
The buried body will be exhumed in hopes of correctly identifying it.
Even better.
A British woman who woke up from a three-month coma was surprised to find she was pregnant.
Gemma Holester, 26, suffered severe head injuries when she crashed her scooter into a parked car, and when she woke up she had no memory of the past three years.
Four months pregnant, she decided to keep the baby even though she had no memory of who was the father.
"I just thought that if this little baby inside me had managed to survive the awful crash then he was meant to be," Holester said.
The father has since been found but he is not romantically involved with Holester. He claims he hardly knew the woman. "We met at a party and went out for laughs a few times, he says. "I'm not ready to be a father."
Ya right.....Gemma can't remember the last three years. It sounds a little like that Goldie Hawn-Kurt Russel movie "Overboard."
