What's a prohibition place? sounds interesting!
It's kinda becoming a trend in NYC/Long island to open up prohibition-themed/speakeasy restaurants and bars?  Some of them go all out, with the real "fake" businesses that are functional during the day that then 'close' after business hours, but you can open a false wall to get into the back bar for nighttime fun.  Another one has a bouncer that you have to tell the password to to get in, which changes every week and there is no wi-fi in the area/bad signal so you have to know before you go.  The one last night was more laid back.  The were more like "our food is prohibitively good" more than gangsters making gin in a tub, but they had the bartenders who would make you a drink or cocktail depending on your tastes, using a lot of local distillery spirits, which means I got to taste the orange-flavored seasonal potato vodka in an amaaazing bright purple cocktail.

Hah I remember when my husband and I visited Denver back in 2015, we were like, "THIS TRAFFIC IS GREAT, NOT AS BAD AS AUSTIN TRAFFIC!" Then on the last day there got stuck on the freeway for 45 minutes. 
Heck, I got stuck on the interstate for 45 minutes in the middle of Iowa this summer.  Traffic here is great until it is not.

 
Who starts school on a Friday???
The good people of Iowa are not allowed to start school earlier than August 23rd, as we may hurt state tourism. In other words, the Iowa State Fair didn't get over until this wekk, so don't go to school, go to the fair.

Therefore, we started August 23rd.  It is stupid.

 
I’ve got an infant and two other littles to watch today. Definitely coffee.

Also this is my last workday of paternity leave...back to the grind on Monday. :(
Yeah, we'll see what happens when kids are in the picture but right now they're not, and the only coffee my husband (!) and I keep in the house is instant coffee we use when camping.
