I love my coffee, especially when its strong and rich with a bold flavor minus the acidity which, in my mind, detracts from the flavor. Now for those of you not from ’round here, the South is said to have four seasons: Almost Summer, Summer, Still Summer, and Christmas. Based on this, you can imagine [...]

Economy, recession, depression, financial, bailouts, wall street, cutbacks, foreclosure, deficit, Washington, Washington Washington. Enough already!
