Next Mission: Dining alfresco.

So, around here restaurants are just now allowed to serve outdoors.

So your bike at an outdoor restaurant.

Bonus points if people are eating at the outdoor tables. Double points if you are.

mr_bill clause:

Thursday: restaurants setting up for alfresco.
Friday: curb-side take out.
Saturday: closed due to pandemic.

I loved Bloody Sorrel on the Dick Van **** Show. Also, I'm curious how much of the title of the show will get censored.

My niece asked "Why do you have a watermelon in the garage?" So I explained about this whole thing, and she started yelling "I WANNA WIN!" and then this happened. It's all her fault.



An watermelon dining al fresco.

Short on sheep

We used to have sheep at my local mini-zoo but apparently they’ve had layoffs. I went by and now they only have goats, pigs, Shetland ponies and a donkey.

Thanks, it was kind of a nicer parts bin build. Sometimes she even rides it.

I believe the goal is
SHEEP

The only place local to me “The Little Farm” likely to have sheep is closed. Being that it’s in Berkeley, I’m sure they are being well taken care of. Can you imagine the uproar if the staff had eaten them? Epic! I did see some Llamas yesterday but that was in Danville from the car. It’s beautifully cool here today. Thanks for letting me drift off topic.

If it's from today, I'd call it the winner. I never specified an actual animal, and the BAAAGELS sign puts it over the top.

OK, given the recent BAAAD puns:

Next mission is punny.

Be creative. Be groanie.

They mingle llamas in with the sheep hereabouts, because the llamas are much, much better at keeping an eye out for coyotes etc, and getting outta there when a predator does wander into view.

I wasn't planning on going up to the hill where the sheep graze because I did it last weekend, but I may do so tomorrow morning now.

Clarification: it's a falafel shop. A FALAFEL SHOP. even though the sign is semi unreadable in the pic.

The Flying Falafel. Been to the one on Market. Plus they verbized a noun.


(Still miss Sami’s “truck” in Longwood Medical Area here in Boston.)

Somewhere serving a specialty food for which your locality is known. So if it's a cheesesteak place, it should be because you're in Philly. If it's a bakery, it's because they bake something that you can't get in other places. It is not "this place does the best ham sandwich in town," but it is "people come to this town from other towns for the crab cakes." Include a description about why your region's version of this specialty is better than the next place.
