It is not safe for the organizers or participants of any international gathering---sports or otherwise---to hold their events here in the United States.

The events should be moved to another country.

But only because they got caught.

We had an unexpected but very welcome visitor today for Sunday brunch at Billeh's Rooftop Nut Cafe. This little red dropped by for an almond and a walnut, then took off across the street like a bullet, leaving a wee trail of dust behind him...and a 5-star review on our Yelp page!

This big boy showed up a couple weeks ago, and is now a regular customer---breakfast, lunch and dinner---at the porch roof nut cafe. He has some minor issues with his sight, but gets around okay. And did I mention he's big? He's BIG.

Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to...Tank.

Thanks to a generous gift by a porch roof cafe supporter, brunch at Billeh's now includes hazelnuts and pecans! Still all you can eat---outdoors or inside our grand sky palace---for only $4.95 plus tax. Bring the whole furry family! Take exit branch 2 off the third oak tree from the utility pole.
