After what seems like forever, I finally have time to do some writing again. Big things have happened in the last 10 or so months and more are on the way....life can be a strange bedfellow and love powers all.....
Up, Up and away....

I like
I like Good Coffee. I know that good is a relative term, but there are certain criteria that must be met.
1. Coffee should not come out of can or jar. Especially a can or jar with the Term "flavor crystals" or any other crystals. Coffee was never in crystal form. This rule can be reevaluated if you are in Africa and you have not had a decent cup of coffee in two weeks.
2. The only thing that should be instant about coffee is when it comes out of an espresso maker.
3. Powdered creamer should never be used. Powder and cream are two terms that should never be mixed together. Nothing that is creamy should have the words powder associated with it unless it has to do with snow.
4. Coffee should not sit around waiting to served for more than 15 minutes before it is BAD.....old coffee is never good coffee.....
5. In wine making there is a phrase that goes something like this
You can't make good wine out of bad grapes. For coffee....the beans are the root of all things Good.
Thomas Edison once said, "Wine is how we know that God loves us."
Some would argue that you could say the same about dark roasted black beans .......
Anyway.......

The Truth Can Hurt
"I believe that the greatest trick of the devil is not to get us into some sort of evil but rather have us wasting time. This is why the devil tries so hard to get Christians to be religious. If he can sink a man's mind into habit, he will prevent his heart from engaging God."

Love God not Religion.........
Anyway......on to other things to waste my time.

1-mile Solution Again
In response to Kim........
Unfortunately that is the way it is in newer Cities. They were built around the car and using it as transportation. Still, can you take one or two trips a week and make them with the bike, feet, bus, etc.......Oh my Gosh I actually suggested that somebody could use the bus. I have to admit I have used the bus a couple of times hear in Fresno. It is interesting.
You are right. Convincing the general public to do this is very hard. Most people think it is crazy to ride a bike in Fresno. It is either too hot or too cold or too far or too something or other. The only place in town where it is different is the Tower and Fig Garden. The other day I saw a couple I would have never ever imagined riding bikes anywhere, all dressed up riding their bikes to the village to have dinner.....it was refreshing to say the least....
One or two trips a week? It can have a huge difference in a lot of things
Ride your bike....a lot. It changes your perspective on things. It is amazing how much better I feel at work when I go there by bike......different attitude, mindset, experience.
Anyway......Just ride your Bike....
Bikes Rule.....
One or two trips a week?
