Cheap eats and soda bar at Well Grounded

Well Grounded Tea & Coffee Bar on Urbanspoon
Prices in this open-early closed-early cafe in the suburbs are rather nice! Reasonably sized sandwiches and everything under $9 (some under $6) on the menu. Plus, a lot of vegetarian choices.

Not a lot of seats here, but in the 'burbs you probably don't need that many anyway. Three tables are in the room off to the right. Nice and clean space and they don't mind kids.

During my 2015-April trip to Berkeley, I got to try the Grilled Turkey Pesto Panini and the vegetarian Humboldt sandwich. Both pretty good and you get a good sized sandwich for your money, especially if you are comparing to what you can get at some breakfast places for $10. A light breakfast and lunch can come in at under $10 without drinks.

They also have soda and a wide variety of flavour shots to choose from.
On the menu there's a "50/50 Bar" soda using mandarin orange flavour and whipped cream (i.e., referencing an orange flavoured creamsicle); but depending on who you get at the counter, they may have experimented with their soda flavours, sometimes using things other than strictly flavour shots (like almond milk). Ask what they've come up with, and if it interests you, maybe see if they'd be willing to mix one for you. I got one that was meant to taste like Almond Joy.

Staff are easy going and friendly!

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 3

A picture from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. I can't remember why I had this couple in the picture, but I do vaguely remember this to be in London, on the first official day of the tour group getting together. Their insistence on my helping them take a picture caused the three of us to be late getting back to the bus. The local tour guide had a "rule" about lateness, that we had to buy chocolate to share with everyone. As it turned out, later in the trip, on at least two occasions, we were stuck on the highway on either a long commute or a traffic jam, and I had chocolate and chocolate-covered marzipan to share. About the chocolate-covered marzipan -- Apparently we were in Austria just as they were celebrating Mozart's birthday with special marzipans wrapped in foil with the famous composer's picture. I'm pretty sure it was Mirabell Mozartkugeln . Anyway, there were enough to go around the en

Meet Melissa Gaines and her blurry sexy pics

Oh boy! I had no sooner finished posting about the lovely Taylor Burch responding to my personals ad on Craigslist when Melissa Gaines (e-mailing from erikmcclure858@yahoo.com) mailed me a couple more pictures of her lithe body and selling her profile on the same looks-like-a-phishing-scam site (http://craigslistsafe.net/profiles/melx3/). One of them was an NSFW naked-breasts pic which I haven't posted here (sorry -- but honestly, nothing to write home about, especially with the serious bikini tan lines). Here's the e-mail exchange: Melissa e-mail #1 Here is my picture as attached. Please e-mail me details what you are looking for along with your pictures. Thanks and waiting to hear from you soon.

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 10

The last of my pictures (at least the ones that survived the cheesy disposable cameras) from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. Below is the obligatory group photo. Not sure everyone's in it, actually. I'm pretty sure this one was taken by the tour director, Mike Scrimshire as I'm in the back row, on the right side.
