Just had a thought (it's what retired guys do on cold winter days) about how much money I would have spent if the 13,000 java's had been all fancy coffee shop mochas. Ah, enough to buy a Boxster. Yikes.
there's a reason the coffee shop place is generally a fall/winter once a week thing. Usually just do the free work stuff.
I don't see a problem. He is a techie from Wisconsin.
But it's a female tank I think.
No free coffee for me, even with home brewed cost it was cheap over 20 years compared to $65,000 for mocha equivalent.
Also the mochas would have been something like 2,340,000 calories versus the 26,000 for my regular black Columbian.
Black java is like 2 calories a cup.Don't stop me, I am rolling now.

I don't want to hear about mocha calories. Probably a big reason as to why I haven't asked for a fancy coffee machine as a gift. Can't stand plain coffee.......be better all around if I could!
1816 (two hundred years ago this year coincidentally) was pretty bad too. It was "the year without a summer".
On that note, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, everyone!

On another note, the plague took 3 years, and 2016 took only one.
The year of the Children's Blizzard was pretty bad. They weren't famous, so people didn't care very long, but that one was bad.
Yes. Actually there were several large eruptions in the few years leading up to 1815 all putting a bunch of dust in the atmosphere and then the huge Indonesian one in 2015 (100 cubic km of material spewed into the atmosphere!) put the planet over the top.
I know it is Wiki but a decent synopsis...

I like the part about being stuck inside during the incessant rain that June led to a competition by authors to come up with the scariest story. Mary Shelley's submission was Frankenstein.
It used to be an east coast thing but has spread out. We have them in Omaha and I think they are also in Des Moines. But these are all owned by ex Huskers so I don't give them my business.
Didn't know they were owned by ex huskers, but I'd still take their iced latte and croissant donut over anything from starbucks.
I'd always heard that Dunkin Donuts coffee was the best. When I tried it I didn't really think it was that good.
