Remember the Invasion of the Jellyfish? This evening it was the Invasion of the Sand Dollars. You could not avoid stepping on them! One woman had gone back to her car for a laundry basket, and was filling it with sand dollars.
Even more exciting, after our walk, we hit Java Beach. Tom didn't feel like cooking, and if he didn't feel like cooking, why should I have to clean up? The Java Beach at Judah was packed with laptops. There were no empty tables. We tried the one on Sloat. More laptops, but there were a couple of empty stools at the bar.
I adore my laptop and love asking it out to dinner–but I wonder how these joints stay in business when the laptops linger and often don't order much besides a cup of coffee. Of course when I'm the one sitting across from my laptop, I don't look up when a line forms. But I make sure to order a giant sub and fries, because I know in my heart that it's the right thing to do.

look at all of those sand dollars! (much more pleasant than the jellyfish.) isn't nature amazing?
i, too, wonder how some places stay in business with laptop squatters. it must be hard for indie places.
Wowee kazowee. I suppose she's going to swipe your mosaic idea (although sand dollars don't stand up that well, do they?)
If it's a long term relationship, I think the laptops could cough up for a few of the dates, don't you? Mine would be very generous because ... it just is.
Marilyn, yes, a little more pleasant than the jellyfish!
Booda, you're a card.
I've been looking for you on your blog and am growing very impatient.
Dang, you hit the Sand Dollar Jackpot!
(Ever seen a live one? They have a bunch of funny tiny "feet" underneath for scooting around in the wet sand.
