Last winter someone opened a Krispy Kreme in Guadalajara, I have not seen it but they say the line is still out the door in the mornings.

Same here.  Although I do pass one when I'm on my trips to work.  So I made a deal with myself, if the HOT sign is on, I can stop.  If HOT sign is not on, keep moving.  I have managed to not have a donut for about 4 months.  But with all of this talk, I bet I don't look as closely in the morning and pull in anyway.  LOL.

Worked out nicely in Huntington/Melville on Long Island. I got there about 10 and in just 15 minutes or so Tessa arrived with both of her Kindle -- a 1 and a 2. They were both in Oberon Design covers and I was very happy to see and try the covers as I have been thinking about buying one. My main worry was if they folded back aqnd these did very well so am definitely going to buy one soon. (I hear new designs are coming this Sat so will wait). Sorry delay in reporting this but while I'm active on the Amazon forums I think this is my first message here. But this is a great community and I'll try to drop on by often!

Where are you, CS? Tim Horton's are popping up all over the place here in Maine, not sure about anywhere else.

I'm back in the States now, but I lived in Canada for three years. Great country, very friendly (if slightly offbeat) bunch of folks - but the weather was just way too cold for me. Smiley

I definitely miss Tim Horton's. They were everywhere!

I was the sole Kindler in the Madison Street Starbucks in Clarksville, TN. But I had a nice Mocha Latte and read a couple of chapters in Iain Banks' Matter. So I had fun, even if no-one else noticed.

I went to Starbucks in Arlington, MA, met 2 others (Including Stephen Windwalker of Kindle nation blog/newsletter) and we had a great conversation.  We'll probbaly do it again in a few months and hopefully have a  few more join us.

personally, I don't like Starbucks coffee, and MUCH prefer DD.  Don't like their donuts.  As for KK, the donuts are sweet (buit good) and the coffee is undrinkable.
