Coffee Reflection: When "Tall" is "Small", "Freedom"..."Imperialism?"

Coffee Beat: Where "Tall" is "Small"---Starbucks raises prices

When ordering a Starbucks, one must always, sleepy as one might be at the time, focus and order the "Tall" and not the "small" coffee etc. There is an entire world where at Starbucks words don't mean what they used to.

O.K. So you rightly point out that it is not just coffee. We seem to be having a larger problem here. Maybe this phenom has affected politics---- where freedom might just mean imperialism and democracy might just mean terror interrogation.....

O.K. it's infected employment...education....ok. well...everything. But.. I need some coffee here....let's focus on the coffee....

The prices on Starbucks drinks have been raised. Click on the post for the details.

Back in the old days, folks could actually make coffee themselves and use a rotary phone. Now it is very important to sip the coffee slowly while talking on a real or maybe a fake cell phone.

Remember the slogan of Caribou Coffee---"Life is short. Stay awake for it."

It's raining this morn, and I'm listening to Bob Dylan singing "Rainy Day Women," and I do agree that a Starbucks would be great right now. Whatever the cost.
