OP/ED - The Accuracy of Storm Prediction?
CONROE, TX -- I was making a late lunch when Beryl’s first rain bands arrived on Sunday at 1:28 pm. Since I subscribe to the mid-county overpriced-paper that I solely use as a placemat on my counter for the purpose of a faster cleanup after preparing and eating food. I chopped my veggies and season my proteins, and toss the mid-pages in the trash. And since I eat at the same counter, with my iPad hanging from under the cabinets, I watch videos from my YouTube influencers that I find informative. Anyway, since I was busy Saturday in Montgomery with their Freedom Fest Parade and their booths and activities associated with the First Saturday Homemade Goods Market, I got behind my checking emails.
A Sip and A Thought: PJ’s Coffee of New Orleans
MONTGOMERY, TX -- After that Japanese Whisky haul a few weeks back. In which I drank responsibly, as I encourage all of my readers to practice when partaking in the good stuff. I could have used a cup of coffee, and with gas prices finally relenting a bit, I was finally able to venture outside of Historic Montgomery, making it as far as Walden. Wait, I was in April Sound for the haul, but? Well, you do the math. I’m at ‘PJ’s Coffee of New Orleans’ this week, located at 17128 Walden Rd, in Montgomery, where it's Mardi Gras every day. So if you are on your way home from that all night bender with a building hangover, PJ’s open at 5 am, ready to fill you up with a stiff Cup of Joe and perhaps a French fritter, to knock back that katzenjammer, so you can sleep peacefully until 5 pm, then make it back to PJ’s for a sandwich and lemonade, on the way back to the rinse and repeat of the previous night. LOL. Please don’t party to excess my good readers, but please do make every effort to try PJ’s Coffee at every avail. In fact everyday. That’s an order!
