[ale] [TOTALLY OT] road trains - what I've been squawking we need for years - fewer drivers!

[Lightner, Jeff]

I'm always amazed at people base their coffee consumption on taste
rather than to feed the addiction as God intended.  

 

That reminds me of the guy I used to work with that was an ex-Army
officer.  I often saw him come in Monday morning and drink the remains
of a cup he had been drinking on Friday afternoon.

Eww, who knows how old that coffee is?!
