One of such stops was at the Starbucks in Red Bluff (it must be the one on Main Street, by I-5).  I was very sleepy, having woken up at 3 AM the previous night (for no good reason) and was in need of some caffeine.  It was 3 hours after lunch and the kids wanted a treat.  I figured that we would stop for dinner in an hour or so.  Mika was pretty insistent that I buy her something to eat, but I really didn&#8217;t want to spend the money (those pastries at Starbucks are not cheap) and I told her so several times.  Well, it seems that the barista overheard me and she told me, after I placed my order, that they were sampling their marble cake and offered me slices for the whole family!  I didn&#8217;t quite understand her when she made the offer, I thought she was offering a sample of a new drink, so I accepted happily.  I could not believe when she gave me the cake slices!<br \/>\nI&#8217;m taken aback by her kindness.  I imagine she assumed that we didn&#8217;t have the money for the treats (not a bad assumption in this hard economic times) and she felt compassion.  What a wonderful thing!  I hope she didn&#8217;t have to pay for the pastries (it was already 5, I assume that they discard the pastries they don&#8217;t sell each day) and that she&#8217;s allowed to do that by Starbucks.  In any case, I&#8217;m going to write to Starbucks and thank them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday we drove back to San Leandro from Vancouver, WA &#8211; a trip that took us 11 1\/2 hours, including a couple of stops.
