We had the above Avocado Bruschetta as an appetizer which is very good. It is a house-made garlic crostini with hass avocado slide, sun dried tmatoes, radish, chipolte aioli & sweet chili vinaigrette. We also had the above house red wine, 2022 Bogle Family Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon. It was quite good for its price point. You can actually buy the bottle at a local store for less than $7.50!

Tesla European Sales Rise
Tesla Model Y Most Popular EV Model In Europe
Tesla 2nd Most Popular EV Brand In Europe

Despite the misconception that Tesla sales have sunk due to protests and boycotts because of Tesla CEO's participation in D.O.G.E., it actually had much more to do with Tesla shutting down all their Tesla Model Y production lines throughout the world for 45 days through almost all of January and most of February 2025. The Tesla Model Y is the MOST POPULAR model of any car in the world among both EV and gasoline powered cars, so this shutdown greatly impacted Tesla sales in the first quarter of 2025. But despite this, Tesla still had record sales in the first quarter of 2025 as mentioned in a quote from the below article:

Production and Delivery Numbers Exceeding Expectations: One of the primary catalysts behind Tesla's stock surge is the company's recent production and delivery figures, which substantially exceeded Wall Street's expectations. In its latest quarterly report, Tesla announced it had delivered over 520,000 vehicles globally, representing a 12% increase year-over-year and beating analyst estimates by approximately 8%.

Dominos gave me the wrong pizza when I picked up the 2 pizzas that I ordered using their Mobile Phone App. But the wrong pizza they gave me was much better than the one that I did order. Dominos was running a special: any 1-topping pizza, any size, any crust, for $8.99. I feel sorry for whoever got my pizza and hope they checked it before they left Dominos as I ordered a Large New York Style Crust Pizza with NO Cheese and Extra Onions. What I got was much better than what I ordered which looks like it was a large thin crust pizza cut into squares with mushrooms, onions, peppers and extra cheese as shown above.
