A Brit shop in San Francisco sells canned vegetarian haggis. I did not try it.

The Bistro shooting range is attracting new customers.


Here are some new customers walking down Bistro Street, hoping to arrive in time for the "Stolichnaya Happy Hour."


I think I have seen these two here before.

Why is ILC hanging out all day by the Bistro pay phone?

Is she dealing with one of the notorious Indian eggplant cartels again? I heard ILC mention someone named "Dog Feeder" when I walked by her.

Ah, that is not just a pay phone, Mikey.

It's how you connect into The Matrix which ILC is great at. The whole appliances-phobia is a clever cover-up. ILC is the unassuming Oracle, or so i suspect, and Dedan's could be Morpheus, or even The One. Who knows ?

Bartender, I would like a super dry Stolichnaya and cloudberry martini, please.


Also, please send two Absolut and kumquat martinis to the ceiling fan.

Default Pretty close group...

Emma was playing a small tennis tournament today. She played both singles and doubles. The doubles group was pretty small - only three teams so they played a round-robin...

The result (Rank, Team, Matches, Sets, Games):

1. Caroline/Dzenana 2-0 4-2 20-19
2. Amanda/Frida 1-1 3-3 21-21
3. Emma/Alexzandra 0-2 2-4 21-22

All three matches went to the deciding match tiebreak....

F/A vs A/E: 5-7, 6-4, [10-5]
F/A vs C/D: 6-3, 3-6, [4-10]
A/E vs C/D: 6-3, 4-6, [6-10]

Before the last match the situation was that if A/E won in straight sets they would win the round-robin/group. Or if it went to a match tiebreaker they would win if they had a positive game ratio (which they had) *and* won the tieabreaker. They got to 6-6 in the tiebreaker. And lost, and thus finished last. Drat!

Ah well... It was a good warm-up for Emma for her bigger tournament that starts on Monday (she also lost her singles match).

Btw, since it's my birthday today let's celebrate with some free beer for all!

Cheers to CC, ILC, Fee, and Malakas. The lemur and random humans socializes with them as I pilfer the remaining bottles of Stolichnaya.

All the Stolichnaya is gone. The Bistro is empty, except for the lemurs and LPV, who are partying all day and night, and a few cats and dogs.

I asked Natalia to look after the Bistro cats.

THE BISTRO CITY NEWS

Bistro City Police have closed the Stolichnaya smuggling operation run by Mr. LPV, Mr. Lemurov, and an unidentified man from Russia. It is believed that they have escaped to Russia with two women named Marloes and Natalia, and several cats and dogs. A ceiling fan is also reported to be missing.
