Ride up to Dawsonville

It was a bit cold but the sun came out. Temperatures dropped in Atlanta to more spring like weather (and will be like this for another week). On the return trip, I stopped at my favorite Cumming coffee shop – Community Cup. It is one of the few coffee places that has bar seating upfront where you can work and chat with the barista at the same time.

Was a bit overwhelmed by all the celebrations that seemed to be going on in front of the coffee shop. Decided to park the bike a little further away and find out what was up. Turned out it was the fifth anniversary for Community Cup!

Of all the strangers I make friends with…

… the young ones are the ones that I learn the most from. Met Nicholas and Grace who were helping me at my table in Landsharks Bar and Grill. There were not too many customers on a weekday – so we got to chat a lot. Learnt about how Nicholas got into trading futures and options. His conclusions? It is gambling at the end of the day.

The three of us had some great give and take about where we would go if we could go anywhere and how would we spend $100,000 if we were not allowed to save or invest.
