They’re trying to pass some espresso tax up in Seattle (See the story here.)

Well, I don’t live in Seattle, mind you. But still. It’s the principle of the thing. And if they start doing it in the capital of coffee, Seattle, then Phoenix is next. (or 30 states down the road. But you get the point.)

Of course, we’re broke, so it’s been using the home espresso machine lately, and for some time to come, it seems. It’s a Starbucks Barista machine, and it makes a decent latte. Actually better than some of the Starbucks I’ve been to. (Especially the ones at the airports. They’re way too weak! )

Anyway, enough ranting, back to work…
