The Naughty Bench
The swimming pool at Walnut Grove Country Club recently added a red and black bench, as shown below. It's located next to one of the lifeguard chairs and its purpose is to give misbehaving children a place for a ten-minute timeout. It allows the lifeguard to keep tabs on the offender without distracting them from keeping eyes on the pool. But just knowing that acting up will make you the unwelcome and very public center of attention should be enough to get children to obey the lifeguard's directions. Brilliant!

Starbucks Name
While I've been a fan of Starbucks coffee for many years, I recently realized I didn't know if someone just made the word up or if there was a story behind it. A story it is. Terry Heckler, a business partner of theirs, thought the name should begin with the strong "st" sound and they began compiling a list of words and initially chose "Starbo", a western mining town they saw on an old map. "Starbo" kicked in memory of Herman Melville's classic book "Moby Dick" and the chief mate's name, "Starbuck". The founders thought "Starbucks" relayed a sense of adventure, their Northwest origins, and a nautical theme.

Basil’s Root Beer New Fashion
Sometimes I just try things because the ingredients can't possibly work together as was the case with ordering a Basil’s Root Beer New Fashion at The Salty Crab Bar & Grill North Beach in Clearwater Beach, FL. It combines Basil Hayden Bourbon with root beer and a dash of bitters and after the first one, I was hooked. I need to work on getting the proportions figured out and try a few different root beers, and by golly do it even if it takes all summer!
