Well, after that thrilling first volume, I got more,
hopefully a bit more condensed, but another “day in the life” coming your way, with
boats and birds and…. Ummmm, you know what?
I’ll bet nobody much gives a hoot about the boats and birds and such..SO, let’s forget
that for the time being and do something more interesting, like a reviewing a eating place
FORE!
Having lived in Breton Bay for three years, near the golf
course (ah, those were the (geographic) bachelor days) I often played some of
the course, but rarely went to the club house.
Well, as fate would have it, we had a small meeting
of a committee and it
was at the Breton Bay Golf Course club house.
It was lunch time and there were quite a few non-golfers
there, enjoying the views of the course and having lunch from a surprisingly
varied menu, although probably slanted toward the sporting side
With many choices of sandwiches, wraps, and…. HEY! What’s that in the middle of the menu, eh? OMGosh it’s
Beauty! What a surprise.
Well, our table stuck with manly fare consistent with the
setting (golf club house) of a Reuben
And an all American chicken salad sandwich
(And I’m not going to whine about the marbled rye)
And (reluctantly) the Feeder had his 9,466th
Chicken Caesar
Our table had nice view of the first fairway. It brought back memories of when I carried
clubs “Bill, I think your ball is across the street in those folks front yard”
Actually the food was quite good, fresh and served by a lady
who know most everybody by first name, kind if Cheers like.
If you’re out that way and peckish it is a nice stop.
Okay, just to keep my word, here’s some bird pictures.
The Eagles are very active now for some reason, with the
older generation quite present,
Although the kids are now joining in the fun
Plus we’re now getting more Vultures (NOT Buzzards) soaring around
then drying out their wings
The crow people and their antics are always worth watching
Hey Charlie, what ya got? Want to share?
No? well the heck with you, then - you have to eat your lunch all by yourself
Later, dude.
OUT AND ABOUT
On those days when I avail myself of the “new“ drive-thru Starbucks,
I always look in the window of the “old”
location as I pass. For weeks there was
only one sheet of 8 and a half by 11 white paper taped to the door presumably directing you to the
newer location. Today I noticed the
windows were all covered with brown paper (a sure sign) and another sheet telling us
This genre of places seem to be rivaling and slowly outnumbering the old
standbys of pizza and burger joints and so-called Mexican food restaurants. off
the top of my head, we got Mongolian BBQ, Peruvian Chicken, Copacabana’s Charcoal
Chicken, Fiesta Pollo (Fire grilled Mexican Chicken), and I know there’s been
several “Jerk/Caribbean" style places that have closed.
ROAD SHOW
Also on the way home, I noticed an ever expanding “car show”
taking place in the “Nicolletti’s” parking lot.
One of those places where (for lack of a better term) “muscle cars” are
on display, mostly with hoods up, and more and more people milling around
Nearly got run off the road by a roaring something cutting
me off to make a sharp turn to be with his buds. All the way into the parking lot the engine
was repeatedly “revving up” making guttural power sounds. Have to admit sounded pretty nice. Anyway a local sight to see on a Sunday
morning.
And for icing on the cake, how about a few rants for
sweetness:
RANT DEPARTMENT
Have you
noticed the increasing emergence of the phrase; “breaking it all down for you”
mostly in newscasting. “We’ll be back in
a minute with the story of the jewelry store robbery when
will break it all down for you. Translation: “we know you’re too stupid to understand
this so we’re going to talk to you like 4th grader”
And in the interest of brevity, I’ll mention one
more and leave two in the hopper.
Background: for MANY years when I coached hockey
at various levels, teaching defensemen was kind of my favorite thing to do (no surprise, but both FOJ's played defense). Players often ignored for the flashy forwards scoring
the goals, they toil at getting the puck from opponent’s forwards. If the forwards screw up, it’s just a loose
puck, if the defense does, it’s “Good luck Goalie!” so now a commercial appears for what turns out to
be Doritos type snacks. The little tyke rushes
into the kitchen yelling “Mom, guess what?
Coach said I could play FORWARD today!” and proceeds to demonstrate what
little dance she will do when she scores a goal. Well, sweetheart, guess who’s going to give you the chance?
Unintended impromptu: as I sit and watch the Ravens and the
Chiefs. The latter are juuuust a little too much into posturing, pointing, and
strutting. Hey Andy Reid, how many Bowls
have you won?
Okay enough for today
DFD and leave Mason Jars for canning.
