“I’m left with just one question: I wonder how much longer a tortoise would live, if we could only convince it to drink coffee? “ LOVE THAT ! I actually did a full belly laugh, much better than a general LOL.

Nice save from yesterday’s ramble. Glad you read your comments.

However, if coffee starts getting taxed and tariffed the way gas, oil, cheese etc. (could add much more, but keeping it lite) there WILL be protests and anarchy.

You can grow your own anything almost, raise chickens, choose not to drive. But coffee, that is a religion all to itself.

For what it's worth, during the major part of my career, for a period of almost 33 years -- 1961 to 1993, I drank between 10 and 16 cups of black unsweetened coffee five days a week. I had a cup warmer on my desk with a cup on it all day long. Anyone in our group (11 engineers, 5 technicians, and 3 secretaries) would make sure the community coffee machine was always ready. We had to fill it (I think it was a 30-cup machine) at least four times a day. Because coffee became an addiction for me, I would have a headache every weekend. Now I drink one 10 oz cup a day (sweetened with Stevia) and love it. I would love to drink more, but my handwriting gets so bad after that one cup, I'm afraid to chance it. (Remember, I'm 93.)
