August 6: The Day the Earth Stood Still (In Rancho Bernardo)

Rancho Bernardo, CA

Due to the possible presence of E Coli in our water mains, the Mayor has ordered all restaurants to close and for residents to boil their water. See the stampede in the store below.

At least I got to demonstrate another lens: the 15mm fisheye.

Canon EOS 5D ,FD 15mm/f2.8 Fisheye
1/60s f/22.0 at 15.0mm iso800 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

No, espresso and coffee machines will not reach temperatures hot enough to kill "bugs". Not even dishwashers, unless you set them in accordance to CDC standards. Not worth the risk.

Terrific work Robin. Hope things get back to normal soon. GMV

a "thirstaholic" . . I like that . . I may adopt that one =)

If I couldn't get water I would go out of my mind. I am an avowed thirstaholic and water is my beverage of choice any day.

It was Apocalypse inside Albertsons. My boss and I were the only ones that were able to take care of all the problems. We sold 15 pallets of water in under 2 hours, shut down all the service departments, pulled all the meat, among other things. Your lucky you only stopped in briefly!

Looks like Starbucks has had too much to eat....really sorry about the water. My son was stationed at a Navy base in southern California and no one was able to drink the water...ever. Glad your water problem is only temporary.

Scary news about the water situation. That doorway was perfect for the fish-eye!

Sounds familiar--we did that for weeks after Hurricane Katrina--in some areas, months. E Coli is nothing to fool with, however. Just ask Scott Coile.

As I sit here with an Ice Blended Mocha Latte in hand, I must tell you that a situation like that would send me to the looney bin... :-)

Gary Winters		06-Aug-2006 18:44
Whoa! Is that true? I really must watch the news more often! Anyway, having a Starbucks close is about as rare as a harmonic convergence. Hope you survive!

Pepe Zyman		06-Aug-2006 18:42
I'll buy you a coffee in La Jolla!

Deborah Lewis		06-Aug-2006 18:33
Great shot - I'll stick to my local coffee shops!

Zak		06-Aug-2006 18:32
all the coffee is waiting to explode out of the building! :-o

Guest		06-Aug-2006 18:01
It looks as though Starbuck's is about to burst!

Cindi Smith		06-Aug-2006 17:45
Hmmm. hope everything gets fixed soon as I'd hate to see folks going berserk when they can't get that needed cup of coffee! I, myself, don't drink the stuff.

Dan Chusid		06-Aug-2006 16:54
No coffee?... ...I'm safe! : )

royalld		06-Aug-2006 16:54
WOW! I hope the found and can stop the source. Nice fisheye shot, btw.

Guest		06-Aug-2006 16:52
Great lens, you can get the entire building facade!!!!! About the new, better being caution with this, and yes too bad for those ]Starbuck adictes, I did, during the last 2 weeks in Texas, there is Starbucks, so close to my cousin´s home, so that every single morning I went to this to pick my daily coffe!!!

Guest		06-Aug-2006 16:49
Perfect image!!! Store, boil, or purchase? Which do you prefer?
