NO LOITERING

Why post a sign when nobody pays attention and it's not enforced?
It wasn't the sign so much as their pointing it out to me and I didn't even have my laptop with me.
I looked around and observed others who were "busy" but they didn't seem to be eating.
 

 Sleeping is OK, but no loitering.
 

Studying/meditating is OK too

Oh, it's OK to run your "business", just no loitering.

Wants to be a nurse. Well I can't argue with that. I just hope she's not MY nurse after over-hearing the conversation..
 
Drawing and playing is OK, but no loitering.
 
By the way, when I passed by two hours later, they were still busy. I guess that's different from loitering.

To continue my discussion my friends and I were having on Facebook about running a successful coffee shop, here are some good links:

How Much Oil Are We Hiding?

This is old news, but when I mentioned it the other day, nobody seemed to have ever heard about it. So, I'm reposting it. Maybe somebody will pay attention this time.



Hidden 1,000 feet beneath the surface of the Rocky Mountains lies the largest untapped oil reserve in the world.

It is more than 2 TRILLION barrels. On August 8, 2005 President Bush mandated its extraction.

Go to YouTube, look up Porter Stansberry Research, The End of America. It's an hour and sixteen minutes long but worth the time and another real eye opener. I came across this information and then some in 2010. When the richest Saudi oil family starts investing significant amounts of money in U.S. oil, there's got to be something to it. Check it out.

Some of this video at the beginning may be true and informative, but then it gets into advertising the investment program and subscribing and that's when I began tuning out.

Got your attention yet?  Now, while you're thinking about it, do this:

Pass this along. If you don't take a little time to do this, then you
should stifle yourself the next time you complain about gas prices - by
doing NOTHING, you forfeit your right to complain.
