Surprises

Two things from this morning:

1. The neighborhood Starbucks, the temporary closure of which was lamented here, is back in operation. It looks about 10% better, but about half as full of customers. Given the slow pace, the baristas got to talking:

Barista 1: It's booked now - in March, I'm going to Nassau.
Barista 2: Where?
Barista 1: Nassau, in the Bahamas.
Barista 2: That sounds nice. Are you going to go to the Starbucks in Nassau?
Barista 1: Yeah, probably.

2. I have what you might consider a small shiner. My left eye isn't black-and-blue, but it's very, very puffy. I have no idea how this came to be, since I barely left the house yesterday. I think this means that I'll be spending a few days at a library desk facing a wall until it dies down.
