OY! Gevelt! :o)
Eman! Chill baby! At least the expresso machine didn't blow up and burn
you!!!
The news this morning carried the story of a woman getting a judgement of
3.5 millions for injuries received when a Starbuck's (TM) expresso machine
blew up, and burned her hand while a Starbuck's (TM) employee showed her how
it worked! Fox News stated the compnay was....'steamed' at the ruling
(GROAN)!
The only thing really good with coffee is ham 'n eggs with grits, red-eye
gravy and a short stack of pancakes!! Like our Wednesday morning photo crowd
enjoys down at "Tex and Shirley's Pancake House"- The Bokeh Group as Bob
Bedwell so aptly named us (Most of us are pretty out of focus at eight am
when we meet!)
Of course, down here in "Th' Souf", Coffe is a morning thing- Iced Tea the
rest of the day!
Too much caffeine and you get twitchy in the heat! (Yeah, I know Marcus
Minisculus lives in "Th' Souf" but he is up in the cool, lofty reaches of
the Shannandoah Mountains....So far out in the boonies they have to wipe the
owl poop off'n the clock to tell what time 'tis!)

Dan (Honey! The new shipment of Gevalia jus' got here!) Post
