It's probably too early for Hecubus to show up, but I'm eating breakfast and I didn't want him to miss out on an oatmeal experience.
Anya, the Shopkeepers of America called. They wanted me to tell you that 'please go' just got replaced with 'have a nice day.'

Now tagless for your comfort.
You know what's nice? A burst water main in subfreezing temps on your route to work.
At the bottom of this article of people dying from the cold is a bit about people wandering into a Starbucks and staring, uncomprehending, that a water main bursting prevented them from brewing coffee.
From the article:
Frozen pipes closed one downtown Chicago Starbucks for several hours Monday, and employee Jerry Berry, 24, said some customers stood in disbelief for several moments before moving on to the next shop a few blocks away.
I wondered why they didn't just go to the one across the street.

I wondered why they didn't just go to the one across the street.
HA! But also, the one across the street probably had the same water main problem?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I wondered why they didn't just go to the one across the street.
Because that kind of logical thinking requires coffee!

In spite of the subzero temps, my son will not keep his clothes on. I've turned up the thermostat to 75 degrees and he's dancing around naked.
Because that kind of logical thinking requires coffee!
I wish someone had gotten some pictures of their glazed, uncaffeinated stares.

I was down in Au Bon Pain a little bit ago, and I was trying to decide between yogurt and oatmeal, and forcing myself not to get a ham & cheese croissant, because I was trying to be good. And since I hadn't had my coffee yet, when the manager asked if he could help me, all I could get out for a little while was, "Hnnrr?"

Heh. This was Tom and myself at the brunch place on Sunday when we arrived to meet Frank.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
This is why I have to have coffee and breakfast at home -- if I don't, I am basically incapable of getting it Out In The World. "Can I help you?" "Yes."
