The observable day today is “National Coffee Day” this bit of info comes from Starbuck. We had coffees there this morning and for a friday it was very busy. Must be true; of course for working guys that s probably true most day.

The photo below is of a Diamond Driller in the 1970’s and he had his coffee in a billy can on top of an airtight wood burner behind the tarp, in what was affectionatl your kown as the shack. Long ways from the comfort of a modern car and a Starbucks stop. However coffee worked then as now without the need for much society or with society.

Coffee is multitasking every day and in every way.

Big Harvest moon tonight and tommarow

Have nice view, weather permitting.

Weather or not this is a global warming support remains to be seen, the schedule puts it into the second week of November and a time that we here at 2000 feet above sea level get our first snow.
