monday coffee klatch

+ mister got up early to take the truck to the dealer (an hour + away) to get some recall work done. apparently, we need to get those done before we can get the clean registration before the move. whatcha gonna do? they're giving him a loaner car, so he may just be coming back home today then picking it up tomorrow OR he may be toodling to a starbucks or other place where parking is welcome, so he can work until the truck is ready. 

+ speaking of coffee, i had a dream last night that i opened a little cafe and on the soft open we were overwhelmed with customers. yep, my dream coffee is apparently as good as i think my RL coffee is. o.O i also made the best french fries ever — and was wandering around the cafe waving one long fry at people asking them, "have you TRIED these fries? aren't they the best?!"

+ our real estate agent came out last week and was going to get us comps for our place so we have a much better idea of what we'll actually be asking for when we actually put this house on the market. the day after, the west coast MLS went down — apparently it got hit with ransomware and, well, they're negotiating with the terrorists. 

while i don't really talk much about what mister does — mostly because i don't understand it in detail — THIS kind of thing is what he prevents. (among a slew of other things) well, it's what he prevents for companies who are willing to make sure their shit is secure. 

which many — most — aren't.
