D4: 
{Bar Spero -- on the list of best new restaurants you sent us.}

Shrimp and scallop mousse-stuffed buffalo chicken wings. Yogurt dill sauce. 

Fresh raw oyster with tomato water and pepper; baked oyster with cream; scallop tostada on blue corn crisp with roasted corn silk. Rye whiskey old fashioned cocktail with jamon Iberico simple syrup. 

Ice cream of fig three ways: fig fruit, fig leaf syrup, fig branch syrup. Garnished with a roasted hay infused foam; roasted walnut crust; fig leaf syrup drizzle.

***

Food:8/10. Highlights were the baked oysters (in the bowl along with a couple raw oysters); the scallop tostada with roasted corn silk (we're holding bites of it) and the fig-3-ways ice cream with roasted hay foam, roasted walnut crust, and fig leaf syrup

Cocktails 5/10 a bit too sweet across the board 

Service 10/10

Value 9/10 

The InKind app gave us $50 off. Meal was $350 all in (including drinks and 20% tip) so $300 after discount

b1: Great review. Good experience. Thank you.

A little bit of loathe

Special K: Right after I made toast, I killed a bug behind the toaster this morning. All the time I was telling myself, be careful, don't touch the toaster, you'll burn yourself. I did it anyway (just a little, on my arm.)

b1-66er: What's the moral of the story?

K: Don't touch the hot fucking toaster, moron. 

Done done DONE

Special K [01:00PT]: Rocket launch from Vandenberg in 1 hour. I have no link. I'm going to bed. 

A rainbow -- turned upside down & without color

b1-66er: "Three-quarters of voters say they're concerned about President Joe Biden's age and mental fitness, while nearly two-thirds have concerns about the multiple trials former President Donald Trump faces, a new national NBC News poll finds, casting a gloomy shadow over the upcoming 2024 presidential election."

...Versus EVERY election before that were all shiny, bright, joy fests.

TB prose and gutter rhymes

Special K: New Sharks promotion this season: "4 in the net, 4 tacos you get." From Taco Bell. First home game, Sharks score 4 goals in the first period.

b1-66er: CLAIM IT!

K: "Minimum purchase of $1 required."

b1: Claim that son of a bitch.
(What can you get for EXACTLY $1?)

b1: YOU ARE SOOOOO THERE!
Gimme four
You lazy whore

The Dear Hunter: My yard. Cuz I love my yard.
