Good Karma, how very apropos.

Wow…apparently this coffee shop (my fave) is aptly named.  Yesterday, I witnesses 1/2 of a tree being severed and hurled through the air by a truck, only to land inches, INCHES!!! from patrons’ feet as they sat enjoying their double-mocha-skim-lattes.

DUDE!

Imagine a scene that is a 50/50 mix of nature and action…Nova meets Jerry Bruckheimer.

There was

• Drama (scary snapping tree sound.)
• Suspense (Will poor Bill Scott meet his fate, while sipping fair-trade Mexican Coffee?)
• Intrigue (Just what WAS that delivery truck doing in the bike lane anyway?)
• Mystery (Is it a coincidence that Larry Becker - eponymous Gallery owner- was sitting not more than 5 feet away, calmly observing the scene?)
• Redemption (The mean old neighbor and Dr. Woo, the car detailing savant, worked shoulder to shoulder, clearing the road…Woo even said “that’s the nicest that prick’s been to be in seven years.”)
• Romance (OK, maybe just a soupcon, but I’m pretty sure that barrista Barry and the delivery truck driver shared a “moment” in the aftermath.)

Oh, the best part of the whole drama was that all of this happened just as the City Health Inspectors showed up…not that it had anything to to with health code violations (of which there were none!!! Good Karma is squeaky-clean.)
