3D Artists Reporting Back

No truck this morning. Wanted to go out for coffee so I walked to a nearby Starbucks. I haven't been to Starbucks before. Employee was good. Cafe mocha, not impressed. Coffee at the shop in the foothills is better, and more expensive, plus there's the view. Best cafe mocha? WalMart home brew. Half milk, half water, store brand freeze dried coffee and chocolate milk powder.

have you ever tried Black Rifle Coffee? I wonder if the hype is real.

Haven't tried it. I think it is mostly good marketing.

Inferno hike was good. Wandered around an area this time instead of going for distance. 116F. It now costs $25 to get in. Kids, veterans, gold star families, etc. get in free.

insane temps :D how much water do you consume per distance/time?

I saw a procession of state police motorcycles and knew what that meant.

I remember the previous fallen officer. Driving I found myself behind a long line of cars at a usually quite intersection of a side street and a main road. A procession of many law enforcement vehicles was passing. Escorting the fallen officer's return to his home town. That procession began in Albuquerque two hundred miles north. Everyone got out of their cars and saluted or placed hands over their hearts as the officers passed. No one was disrespectful.

Working at a remodeling guy house when a toddler appears next to me. Out of nowhere. No one around, no cars, all quiet. Thinking he hasn't gone far and his parents will be looking for him I get him to follow me, he can walk great, and ask if nearby houses are his home. Baby talk but I can tell he means "no". A lady in a nearby yard takes care of him and calls the police while the guy there helps me ask around the neighborhood.

Police arrive, ask me about finding him, question everyone, go door to door searching for his parents. They tell me not to leave until they are done investigating. Baby is in good hands so I keep working. Later an ambulance arrives in non-emergency mode. I ask if the baby is ok. He is fine they just needed to be sure of that.

Soon a woman comes from a small apartment building across the street. She is apparently his mom or family. Police say I can go.

Cool little dude. Not crying for his mommy. He is in adventure and exploration mode.

i guess some parents should not be parents... and some dont even deserve that great kids they have.

Oh, well.
Showers now last longer than 2 minutes.
