Anacortes: Happy Donuts (or not)

Since I've got a slight limp now (my knee has been sore the past day or two) we decided to cancel a short hike and spend the day hanging about Anacortes. We went to two or three cafes searching for wireless but it seems that the internet revolution has passed Anacortes by... oh well, no need to fear, thanks to Happy Donuts.

Happy Donuts is a pink cafe/restaurant here in Anacortes that has FREE WIFI! (it's written like that on their sign outside) so we decided to make a pit stop here for an hour or two before lunch. That's great news because we can both catch up on everything and I can watch the US Open streaming on my computer. Funny exchange that took place when I was placing my order:

Me: (after noticing no donuts displayed) So where are your donuts?
Cashier: We don't have any right now.
Me: Oh. OK... Um, are you getting them later this morning?
Cashier: We should have some in a few weeks.

In a few weeks??? That one took me by surprise and I couldn't help but chuckle. Oh well, in the spirit of making the most of things, I settled for an ice cream cone at 10 in the morning.

We'll have something up after lunch,
