No surprise, I passed the test and am once again a certified food safety manager.

VR roller coasters after wine was not one of my better ideas.

Game mechanic idea: NPCs will treat you better or worse depending only on how you interact with animals otherwise unrelated to the game.

Punk is trying to hunt a slice of apple cake.

Has anybody calculated the ratio of transporter accidents to total observed beamings? Does the safest way to travel involve something going wrong more or less often than the holodeck safeties failing?

The cat that lives with me is a good cat. 10/10, would let it move in again.

Asked the employees at the bar what I should have for dinner and the answers were kind of depressing. One said she's having a hot pocket, the other plans to make eggs. Neither of those seems like much of a dinner.

The new Tanzanian coffee listed there is currently an online exclusive offering as I'm still working on selling the last batch of our Kenyan coffee to make space on the shelf. That's one of the nice things about web stores. They're not limited by shelf space.

Updated the shop's web site. It's now possible to buy the new Holiday Blend there.

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.
