Quick! Somebody call an ambulance!
Nannette and I were driving up to get the key for her Girl Scout meeting this morning and what do we see when we pull up to the Jackson Park Community Center but this:





I thought something had happened to one of the workers at the community center but that was far from the truth. The Pacific Northwest truth to this story is that the ambulance in the picture was converted to a mobile latte stand several years ago and they drive a regular route every weekday (or weekends for special occasions) to bring various caffeinated products to the doorstep of those Washingtonians that can't get through a morning without their daily shot of espresso, latte, cappucino, or regular cup-o-joe.
Nannette had mentioned that she'd seen them several times in the past few years but I had never seen them until this morning. Isn't that funny? Their name is Mocha Medics and they can be found here. Isn't that too funny? Oh, and for a 5 drink minimum, they will deviate from their normal route upon request. They're also available for parties. LOL.

In other news, our house inspection is tomorrow morning. One more step toward owning our own house. After today, if everything goes well, we'll just be waiting anxiously for closing day. Then we can move in. I've already scheduled our move through the Navy's move set up website. All I'm waiting for now is the retirement orders issued from Bupers so I can fax them to the personal property division that pays for the movers to come and do their thing.
Until latte later...
