It's alright, grew up on garbage coffee, Hills Bro or Yuban in big can, drip into Bunn pyrex pot, left for days.

'Yeah, that is probably from Friday! Just reheat it in the microwave!"

I recall first time a highschool friend encountered a cup of decent coffee in #SantaCruz , fresh roasted and ground, she was perplexed by the oily sheen on surface!

"What is that stuff?"

"Turns out it's the volatiles that probably makes the coffee taste good! We never had that, growing up."

VELOCIPEDE SCHOOL!

WE BEG LEAVE TO INFORM THE citizens of Santa Cruz that we have opened a VELOCIPEDE SCHOOL in the Hall of R. K. Whidden, which is open day and night. Instructions given, and VELOCIPEDES hired, either to be used in the Hall or on the streets. The Hall is surrounded with seats, and ladies are invited as spectators.

Any number of Velocipeds, either for man or child, always on hand.

Went out to the Hands Off protest today in Santa Cruz. I heard rumors that it's the largest protest in Santa Cruz ever. They announced there were 8,000 people there.

There was lots of good signage. I got interviewed by the local paper.

The sign in the picture is hard to read at this angle but it says, "Dear Canada, We Hate Him Too!"
