Coffee... Friend or Foe?

For so long I have criticized the coffee bean and it’s trendy little corporate buzz-biz known as Starbucks… But long days driving the rig down lonesome highways with the wife at my side and my loyal dog at my back have changed me. This once loyal tea drinker, clear and focused, standing like an oak tree in a hurricane would never bow at the hand of a Mint Mocha Frappuccino blended coffee with Chocolate Whipped Cream, a Pumpkin Spice Latte, or a hot cup of French Roast. I was blind to what was about to happen… Like an Apache scout or Ninja master, the Vanilla Latte has stealthily snuck its way back into my once-peaceful tea drinking life. Much to my own surprise I have decided to lower my sword and take off my armor… Defeated, I again have become a coffee drinker. My days now are filled with ups and downs, blood shot eyes, and minor mood swings… I’ve fallen off the wagon! So the picture above goes out to all of you Venti-Carmel-Macchiato-on-the –fence-with-skim–milk-drinking-Starbuck’s-lovin’-folks and to rest of y’all… It was taken in front of, that’s right, the first ever Starbucks known to man or women! Drink up coffee lovers… drink up! ~J~
