I live in the PNW, and today I was video chatting with my parents in Florida when they noticed my mug. They brought up the tagged book and how prophetic it became considering the recent turned-up history about the architect who designed the ill fated Surfside. Which then made us wonder if Starbucks will change its design. It didn't occur to me that condos represented Florida.

MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm I‘m lost on the connection between Surfside and Starbucks… 3y
mandarchy @MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm I would have been lost too. My parents saw the condos on the mug in the video chat. I never noticed them. That got them talking about the book. 3y
MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm Oooh, it‘s a Starbucks mug. Gotcha! 😅 I was trying to figure out how your parents went from talking about condos to logo design. 🤦‍♀️ I‘m with it now! 🤣😂 3y

I know. It' so hard to make sense with so few characters and then I am a reader not a writer - I am famous amongst my friends for telling non sequitur stories. I was just stunned when my dad pointed it out. I have had the mug for several years and never thought of condos as being emblematic of Florida, but in a way they are.

MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm No worries, I definitely find Litsy‘s character count limit to be constricting as well. I love your gnome-munching porch statue in the background btw! 😂🤣😂 3y
mandarchy Thanks! The gnome is for my Godzilla obsessed son. I got tired of people sending me memes of it on Facebook. So when I saw it at the store I bought it. There are so many Godzillas in my house! 3y
KrisNelson I know you…please take over my library…I‘ll pay for gas and new books! 3y
