Vanished - Yesterday morning, a client came to mine office and said, "I see your neighbors are gone." I replied, "Of what neighbors are you speaking?" The client replied by pointing in the direction of the building to the left of mine office. In the News - They walk among us! Enjoy - Relax and enjoy these images and videos!
I said, "Really?" and investigated. Friday, the building had been filled with apparel. The building was now completely empty, and there was a sign announcing, "For Rent."
I was astounded. Apparently, the building must have been vacated on Saturday and Sunday. It had been there only a few months. I shall watch with great interest to see what next occupies this building.
The building still bears the marquee of the prior business, Coffee Club Bistro. Mine office is situated between that building and H&R Block.

Viewing the chill factor map above makes me feel truly blessed that we are enjoying such spring-like weather here. While I certainly realize that rain is much needed here, it is impossible not to enjoy the 75+° weather we have had recently. The forecast for today is 82°! The forecast for this weekend indicates that the temperature will remain high. Make certain you have plenty of propane. This is grilling weather!

For dinner last evening, I grilled boneless, skinless chicken breasts. The chicken had marinated overnight in extra-virgin olive oil, rice wine vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, crushed red peppers, sea salt, and lemon pepper spice. I grilled the breasts until they were approximately 75% done. I placed them in a Pyrex dish, covered the dish with aluminum foil, and placed in a 170-degree oven. After 30 minutes, I halved three medium red potatoes, baked them in the microwave, and added them—cut-side down—to the Pyrex dish. When we dined an hour later, the potatoes had absorbed a quantity of the delicious juice that exuded from the chicken breasts. We also had baby asparagus that I poached and chilled. It was a delightful meal. The chicken was fork-tender, moist, and delicious. The four leftover breasts will make some excellent enchiladas later this week, I am certain.
