Good morning!
Well, as E says "Every day is National Coffee Day".
I love it (with some sort of creamer and sugar), but only a cup here and there.
Packing day for me, E got his done yesterday. Meeting with Cameron so he can come over and get our mailbox key.
Have a good Monday!
A solemn feel about town this morning as Flint/Grand Blanc area deals with the aftermath of the Church attack yesterday that so far has cost 4 lives, with anticipation that more deaths will be found once the burned out Church rubble is sifted through. Prayers out to all of the families affected.

Good Morning....still coughing but not as bad. Two attacks during the night but I was able to smother them in my pillow so I could stay in bed .
No yoga (again).
Some rain fell overnight but not enough to bring up the pond level to a noticeable height.
The month of Linda is coming to a close
The Month of Ken is coming shortly...............
Corona by day, Corona by night, any old time is just alright!

So I'm as packed as I can be. The last few things will be done in the morning. Change blinds so plants get light, make up, sinus rinse stuff, and pack up the laptop. I hate packing.
I always wince when I think of drinking coffee when I have been in the US.
For a society that seems to drink a lot of it, you guys have no idea how to make it! I don't know what that black abomination that sits in a glass pot and stews for hours is, I assume it once was coffee but blerk.
I searched high and low through Florida for an acceptable espresso with no luck. At one place in the Keys I actually asked the person making "expresso" if I could make my own - she agreed. Half an hour later, I was still making proper coffees for her customers.
I am very much a coffee snob - to the point where Mrs Rabz and I used to import beans from a producer in Vanuatu for our own personal use!

Hi there! I'm no coffee snob and will sip it all day except caffeine prohibits that. As a teen in Canada, I drank cowboy coffee at a logging camp for 2 weeks. Huge blue enamel pots boiled water with ROUGH ground coffee dumped in. The bottom liquid was quite crunchy.
If I wasn't fishing in this all day rain,I'd be home doing something stupid.

Rabbitz, A private owned Italian Restaurant in Brooklyn NY is required for a good cup of coffee regular or expresso.
Well an Italian run restaurant would probably have the right pedigree (except they wouldn't call it eXpresso - espresso is Italian for "for one")

Evening all...
I do enjoy my morning coffee, but I had to resort to putting milk in it once I hit 30, as black coffee began irritating my stomach.
I stopped by Starbucks on my way to the grocery store this morning for a small iced and was awarded 100 stars in their "Coffee Day promotion" - which will get me a free one (any size ) at a future date!
