I wasn't even thinking about the election, but yesterday, I was riding my bike and saw two donkeys and thought, "i want to bring my camera back and capture those guys to paint".

And I don't buy from Starbucks either. I buy from the Ventana, the same small shop that I have gotten my coffee beans from for a long time.<BR/>The "big chains" places stick to the outskirts of town. They do not really bother me. People have a choice where they want to shop, no one is forced to go there.<BR/>Glad you like the donkey.Frank Gardnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02011564146411771531noreply@blogger.com
