Revenge Of The Sea

When a seafood restaurant named Moby Dick offers a full window view of its ''right on the ocean'' location, you kind of have to expect Murphy's Law to play its odds at some point, right? Well, it did.
A winter storm in the entire Southern California region generated waves so strong that they shattered a picture window in the dining room, causing salt water to barrel in and customers to flee their seats.
 And this being now, here are the images:



Here is my favourite part of the article:
According to Yelp reviewers, the place usually lacks ambience (sic) “other than the view.” While the food is “overpriced,” the seafood is “fresh” and the clam chowder is “pretty darn good.”

With the cost of rebuilding an entire dining room, expect the prices to rise even higher, though the ambiance will now be enhanced from being associated with a piece of minor local news. Ghost story fans and gossipers welcome; now mentioned in your tourism guide.

Microbrewery Of The Day: Jackalope Brewing Company

I hope I go to Nashville soon, and not just because most girl-singers I know and want to work with will have moved there by year's end. Their music scene is burgeoning, sure, and beyond country music, too, but there are a few start-up businesses that show full of promise, a lot of them in the pub/club game.

One of them is the women-owned Jackalope Brewing Company, operated and managed by seemingly really cool gals Bailey Spaulding and Robyn Virball, seen below:




One of them apparently can't get enough maple syrup, so maybe that'll give them an idea about a future beer... (idea: add a salty flavour to counter-balance it and get really original)!

So If I Go To Barbados...



... everywhere I go, I'll see Rihanna, who spends her time between Miami, New York and Los Angeles?

On many of the hundreds of beaches, playing dominoes with the locals, riding horses, walking in trails?

She can be everywhere at once!
