Lots of good cats on the timeline today.

Not to take anything away from anyone, but is anybody keeping track of how long we need to wait until a majority of each side of Congress didn't grow up breathing leaded gas fumes?

headcanon: the snakeybus from Snakeybus is the reincarnation of the ghost train from Final Fantasy 6.

Talked with a reporter about what it's like to run a business in a construction zone during a pandemic.

Now playing: Snakeybus. It's like Snake, except instead of playing a snake that gets longer as you eat apples, you play a bus that gets longer as you pick up and drop off passengers.

Have you hugged a cat today?

I've been informed of another one of those click bait slide show "articles" that has my shop listed as the best independent cafe in Wisconsin. While I wouldn't put much stock in something like that, they got everything factually right and I'll take it even if that's buried on page 51.

I'm going to ask the rest of my staff what they think about it, but I think I may have finished designing this year's Holiday Blend coffee. If others don't object to that, it'll have the most complex recipe of any of the blends currently on offer, combining light, medium, and dark roast coffees from Africa, South America, and three different islands in the Pacific.

Today's mail included a new cupping spoon with a cute goat on the handle. I will use that.

So whatever the final outcome is, hopefully I stop getting so many political ads in the mail? I got none from Trump but tons from Biden who seems to think I'm black.

This is the story of the little ship that took a little trip.

The cat approves of the hand sanitizer at my polling location. She expressed an urgent need for belly rubs.

I voted. Never saw so many people at my polling place at the same time before, but my ballot number wasn't unusual for a presidential election. I think it's just that they've got things set up differently from normal and their computers are slowing things down compared with the usual big paper books. Slower voter throughput means longer lines and more people in them.

Giant box of air purifiers arrived at the shop today. One is near the phone order pickup area (front end of the bar), one is near the walk in order/pickup area (back end of the bar), and a third is in the coffee roasting/bagging area. The idea is to provide extra air circulation and virus removal nearest the places my staff are most likely to be.

Wearing my fox ear beret and tail today as a comfortable low effort costume that I can still work in.

Not sure how it happened but the latest royalty payment from Amazon was really good (still only $1.01, but normal is $0.02-$0.20). The credit union recently started trying to categorize my transactions and it put that one down as "Salary" which seems excessively depressing (even giving away software pays better than that).

It looks like there's one interactive dog in Genshin Impact. I can't pet it, but I can call it a good dog. This means I have absolutely no incentive to help the guy who is unreasonably scared of the dog until Mihoyo adds dog petting as a proper feature.
