     Good morning to all the early birdies, Lucille, Ernnburn, Tex, and Menagerie,

     Beautiful landscapes this morning, including one of Stella’s signature castles. It’s majestic, but imagine living there, in a stone building on icy slopes, with only fireplaces for heat. Brrr.

   Good mornin’, and happy hump day! Some days you just want to be around familiar settings, so today I brought back one of my favorite coffee making machines. Keep your head on a swivel and carpe’ your coffee.

         I think that fridge is even bigger and fancier than the one SanFranNan showed us with her $20 ice cream during the corona.

           No kidding. Way, way back, at the beginning of my career, I used to sell, among other things at that job, Sub Zero refrigerators. I’ve always wanted one of those, but I’m guessing after 40+ years the quality may not be what it once once.

       Bet Tex had to dig deep to afford that one for us.

       But, it is part of a limited edition of 100, so it should hold its value, unlike most of the other appliances.

       Generous, that’s our Tex.
