    from Raleighdon:

    On my way in this morning, having only had a triple shot of espresso before leaving the house, I envisioned a flock of butterflies picking up my bike and carrying me aloft over the Duwamish Waterway. That was pretty far out, I thought to myself, so figured I'd stop at Cafe` Umbria and have another dubble shot. About halfway up the - I wish this damned pesky spider would get off the keyboard - hill on Western, I passed an entire Tour de France race team. I asked several of them for their autograph after I went by them, hollering "ON YER LEFT, SLOWPOKES", but all they did was flip me off. I waited at the top of the hill, and one of them got off his bike and folded it up into a little square that he placed carefully into his billfold before following me into Starbucks, where we both orderered 4-shot grande mochas, and had a rousing discussion about some recent study about hallucinating due to consumption of over 7 cups of "instant" coffee. We were both very grateful that we only drink the real thing.

    I'll give up my coffee when you pry it out of my cold dead hand.

    But I don't have a problem. I could quit anytime I wanted to.

    Excuse me while I go fill up my quart sized cup

    Today, we discovered another local roaster in this fairly small town. I've lost count of the total, especially if I tried to include those in the really small surrounding "villages."

    Instant coffee is drinkable?! Wow, who knew!
    Im allergic to coffee but if I could hallucinate a lycra Lance Armstrong stopping over with a free Orbea , and offers of cuddles or hey, scratch that - BEATING Lance!! Id happily take the symptoms!

    I drink roobois tea when its cold, for some comforting in morning..I miss coffee but I hear its REALLY bad for women( from my naturpath and virologist)


    My Dad drank instant( god know why) and when I tasted real coffee,I almost fainted.

    See? It's his natural state.
    "My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure." O. Sacks
