Monday Morning Coffee

I don’t drink the stuff, which I know makes me a member of a small minority. I love the aroma, but I’m not that keen on the taste, and I don’t usually drink hot drinks. Some of my friends though are coffee connoisseurs. We meet in coffee shops and I watch them indulge. Coffee is […]

Brilliant Marketing

You don’t suppose anyone really bought one, do you?

Record Temperatures

As much of North America bakes, I am left wondering where I could find a place like this. Indoors, air conditioned and no need to interact with people. I must admit though, I would me more interested in food than drink. And I would definitely bring a book. We introverts need our books.

If you don’t understand the allegory, ask yourself if perhaps you may be part of the problem rather than part of the solution. We’ve been neighbors for years. We’ve always gotten along. A few years back we agreed to plant some […]

Geography Lesson

A certain politician has been musing about place name changes on maps, and perhaps even his country seizing other countries’ territory. And no, I’m not talking about Vladimir Putin, though that is also part of his playbook. Since we are redrawing the map, here’s one I saw online. It has no basis in reality of […]
