God, I love sourdough and butter. (where is the drool icon?) I wanna ask for a loaf of sourdough but it would be like Heidi saving the soft rolls for her grandmother . all hard after a week. But it might be good dunked in some beer at Danlo's.

dudelet, SFO has Peet's Coffee stands, See's Candies stands, and there's bags of sourdough all over the airport! LOL!! i'll get some on my way out the door!

(bread keeps pretty good in plastic bags ya know!

pft. what. evs.

Alfred Peet started Peet's Coffee & Tea as a single store in 1966 in Berkeley, California. Peet's original outlet is still located on the corner of Walnut and Vine (2124 Vine Street) in Berkeley, close to the University of California, Berkeley (although it has been renovated to match the look of the newer Peet's outlets elsewhere). Peet grew up in the coffee business while living in the Netherlands as a child. Moving to San Francisco, California, when he was 35, he began roasting coffee as he knew it. Peet's now roasts at a plant in nearby Alameda. Alfred Peet died of cancer on August 29, 2007, at the age of 87 in his home in Ashland, Oregon.

The three founders of Starbucks knew Alfred Peet personally, founded Starbucks in Seattle, Washington, and bought the coffee beans for Starbucks directly from Peet's during their first year of business in 1971.

real coffee comes from near the equator ese!

Made my usual pre-Elohimfest trip trough Santa Fe to Los Alamos to the Valles Caldera and Jemez yesterday. Sandias and Sangre de Cristos were pretty dam hazy-from the big Arizona fire, I guess, but should clear up in a couple of days. Pajarito Mt. and the Jemez were clear just a tiny bit miasmic . Saw two sets of hawks circling and a lady with a horse teaching a class of kids at the rock wall. The pines and the birches had different forms of green earthpower emanating and the Valles (Andelian) totaly breathtaking, as always. Saw a huge female Elk in a clearing just before I reached the valley. Never seen a big animal up there as many times as I've there (30 times?) amazing-must be an omen.

Like last time you guys are bringing the drought and extreme fire restrictions so everything's closed except for the East Fork and Soda Dam. Oddly enough Bandelier National Monument IS open, at least for now-it wasn't last time. Unfortunately that means that Jemez Falls, all the hot springs and campgrounds are shut down. Still nice and cool and incredibly beautiful up there as usual. Thor and I danced in the river in the red rocks for almost an hour!

thank you luci - when we travel i always grab the local papers. people have even made sure to include papers when mailing me items.

i also will be looking for lapel pins - julei made me a posterboard with all of them stuck in it. when it is full we will be encasing it and enetering it into the county fair art exhibition.

i am really excited about what pins i may find in roswell.

and really - i love taking long car trips just to see different things. and i am VERY excited to meet all of you.

I'll pick up some papers today, Sgt.

You can't have my World Series '05 lapel pin, the only one I own. It has sentimental value.

So, in case it isn't glaringly obvious, I will not be able to attend Efest this year. Just too many things going on: debt, my son's doctor's appointment Friday and I will probably be working that Saturday or Sunday. My schedule changes almost daily.

Sorry, folks.

Boo. I shake my fist at the Fates.

Bummer, Jaz.

Post by **danlo** » Fri Jun 03, 2011 5:58 pm

Yeah, we already wrote you off so don't torture us by reminding us, again, that you won't be coming. *cries*

I thinks everyone else on the current list IS coming-not sure about nuk, but then again I never was sure about nuk.

Word is starting to get out locally about this-two of the local papers want to write about this but we're fending them off--off course all that is SRD's business, anyway. 3 other folks want to attend and oh, BTW, my videographer is bringing an assistant cameraman so things will, I guess, be filmed from more than one angle...

I'm off to pick up the plaque in about an hour-I'll try sneak a photo in (just don't show SRD, OK!?

)

Well, if the local papers come, I've got to bow out. I can't be photographed right now. I'm a wanted man in three states.

Which three? Enquiring minds want to know.

danlo, are you saying there are three non-Watchers who want to come? Hopefully you told them to sign up here...

I'm a fan of big and floppy.

Will pick up some bagels but the fish...............................

So they want to do an article about Efest? That's odd.

Post by **danlo** » Sat Jun 04, 2011 3:39 am

Just uploaded a copy of the plaque in the Album under Group Fests!

i will print it up - but you do realize that i can not sing even in the remostest of meanings?

i realize that i did not come close on remote but leaving itthere anyway.

Understood, Sarge. Me neither...but I have learned to not let it stop me.

In [i]Painted Desert Serenade[/i], Joshua Kadison wrote:He tells her, "I want to paint you naked on a big brass bed
with bright orange poppies all around your head."
And she says, "Crazy old man, I'm not young anymore."
"That's all right," he whispers, "I've never painted before."
