Starbucks to Lower Prices on Some Drinks, Raise the on Others

Ok, for years, almost every day, I have been spending $2.11 on my Venti Bold (Always Venti, Always Bold.   NEVER EVER the Pike Place Blend.

Am I going to pay more or less for my coffee?

This is a serious matter, people!!

TEA Goes to the Berkshires

TEA and I went to the Berkshires for a couple of days to visit my father.

And of course I took pictures.

1) TEA wanted wings.  TEA ordered wings.  TEA housed the wings like a champ.
2) We then had a fairly awesome thunderstorm and the power was out for about three hours.  TEA fell asleep to candlelight and to Jurassic Park on a laptop.
3) The next day, the weather had cleared and my father, TEA and I went kayaking.
4) After the kayaking, we built up a manly appetite.  TEA wanted a salmon filet sandwich with pickles and a horseradish mayo on freshly baked bread (which was grilled). 
5) He also housed most of this rack of KC style ribs.
6) So that TEA is ready to fight the zombie menace, TEA and I made a bow and arrow.  It is fairly effective and TEA did most of the work himself.  I will teach him to defend himself against all comers.
7) And then last night, I broke my toe, by...well...wandering around in the dark.
8) After my dad and TEA went kayaking, we all went to the Berkshire Museum for their Frog Exhibit.  I have to say, it was very cool.

Hate Crime Conviction in Upstate NY

Syracuse man (who was convicted last month) was sentenced to 25 years in prison for the shooting death of a transgendered woman.

While this is tragic (on a number of levels), it does make me feel a little better regarding how the alternative sexualities are now being treated by the courts...
