A new whisky/espresso bar in Waterloo is opening up, just at King and Bridgeport. Sounds like a refreshing new idea in K-W. Also, they have a jackalope as a mascot.

However, they're a little coy about their hours of operation:

We're open most days about 8 or 9, occasionally as early as 7, but some days as late as 12 or 1.

We're closed about 7 or 8, and occasionally on weekends at 11.

Some days or afternoons we aren't here at all, and lately we're here
all the time except when we're someplace else ;)

Reading another Jo Nesbo book (is that 'Joe' or 'Yo'?) and grabbing a cup at Williams on Northfield. I'm all out of order on this series, so I know how the book ends. Still, it's a page-turner. Some great Norwegian crime fiction here.

Doubles as a thermal carafe at the office. Makes great coffee!

Finally in paperback. I'm taking a break from my Scandinavian crime fiction books.

Just read T. Jefferson Parker's book. Says it's a "Charlie Hood Novel," but I'm not sure where I am in the series. It was good until about halfway through when the plot veered into the supernatural.

Yeah, I came in late in the series. He's done 16 books before this one.

Re-reading Hawking's book. Still a pretty fun read.

The last Martin Beck thriller. I never read this one, but just recently found it on the shelves.

Part of my ongoing obsession with Scandinavian crime writers (does Iceland count here?). Jar City, by Arnaldur Indridason.

Taking the day off work to clean and prep for the art show. Having a hot cup of coffee at 1842, after putting up some posters.

Culture de Café. In those big cups they have here.

I think this BB camera has similar lighting issues to old Polaroid SX-70s.

A Chet and Bernie mystery. By Spencer Quinn. Chet is the narrator â.¦ and a dog.

Either my butt is still sore from snowboarding, or these big, comfy chairs are really not all that comfortable.

I know, I know. 'Dude, you're supposed to snowboard with your feet!'

Another Joe R. Lansdale book. With coffee. At 1842.

Accidentally asked for a "large" coffee today. My bad.

By Donald J. Hauka. A savvy Kenyan crime writer tracks down a killer in Vancouver while he tries to get his next big story.

Took a while to get into this book, but I like the premise.

The Road - Uploaded by Zuckervati.

Cormac McCarthy's book. Now a movie, apparently. Sort of a feel-good family story, with a road trip and a crazy shopping cart with a wonky wheel.

Never End - Uploaded by Zuckervati.

An Erik Winter novel by Ake Edwardson. Not sure if this is the second book in the series, but let's assume that it is.

A Latte - Uploaded by Zuckervati.

This is a delicious latte from Whole Lot-A Gelata in Waterloo.

Coffee and a Scone - Uploaded by Zuckervati.

Because, without a scone, it's just a cup of coffee.

Carry-On Coffee Culture - Uploaded by Zuckervati.

Kitty-corner to the Coffee Culture on King St. in KW is Carry-On Comics. Cool.

Rumble Tumble - Uploaded by Zuckervati.

Another Hap and Leonard book.

Humpty Dumpty in Oakland - Uploaded by Zuckervati.

Philip K. Dick, meet Thomas Pynchon. Seriously, where are the futuristic space Nazi replicants who force you to remember things?

By Jonathan Lethem. A book about hard-boiled detectives, nose candy, and talking animals.
