Random observations from the coffee bar...

People have been hounding me to update my blog. Well, folks, I've been busy. Busy with work, my house (the grass needs mowed now...but it's too hot, and I have work to get finished...it's not THAT tall...). Oh, and did I mention I get married in a little over a week and a half? We leave for Maine next Wednesday afternoon, and there is OH so much to get done still...

So tonight, for a change in scenery, I decided to pack up my laptop and head down to the coffee shop, to spunge on their wireless network, and try to get caught up on a bit of work. While a CD copies onto my hard drive just before I switch into work mode.

I've made some observations while waiting:
  • Coffee shops are dirty places in the daytime. I knew this..but the sun is glistening just right on a pile of rice next to me in the window that I KNOW has been here for some time.
  • Police officers are REAL PEOPLE. Sure, everyone thinks they know this...but I know they are. For example, one fella came in just now...full police gear, notepad in hand. I thought for sure that he was filing a complaint, writing a ticket, or just stopping by to harass some dirty hippy-folk (see bullet below). But now, this guy starts talking to the barista about how he's just been approved to start his own company...a coffee roasting company! So, the two apparently know eachother, and start talking about the various flavors of roasting; french roast, mild, medium, dark, fair trade, and on and on. I got lost. I'm not as up on coffee as I thought I was.
  • The chairs in coffee houses can get quite worn down...Especially when the table seems to be a bit too high. I just had to pack up and move for the third time because the chair was too low...the table too high. My back said "move it, or I'll make your neck quit working....:
  • Hippy folk can be the nicest, friendliest people around. A lot of the people I hang out with could be classified as hippy folk, or "granolas". You know the type. They like being outside, don't mind not taking a shower, and can be a bit antisocial. Well, some of them take this lifestyle to the max..and can REALLY start to smell bad! Really bad.
  • Did I mention that coffee bars can be really dirty? Well they can.
Ok, time to work...

Well, I have got only two things to say: Number One, There are little children in Brownsburg that could have used that piece of rice to make a meal.
Number Two: Those people smell like that because the have number two on them. Don't keep moving, once you get the fecal on you, stay there! Coffee shops are dirty!
Have a nice day! Guess Who ?
