coffee & anarchy

well, when i talk about the world-price depression known as the coffee crisis, i normally get some wacky mail from lawd knows who accusing me of being a pinko stooge or something.

so today, i thought i would post an amusing editorial that is actually mostly correct factually, but is so wrong in other ways. . . the slacker anarchists' take on the coffee crisis in colombia. this makes me practically look like edmund burke.

but i do not condemn the anarchists, in fairness. they are obviously coffee lovers and care about coffee quality. they should become scaa consumer members, and we could move forward with them over a nice espresso. they would probably get along with former scaa prez paul katzeff just fine.

today's gray weather -- otherwise unseasonably warm -- got me down so i had a nice cappuccino at my hair salon and came home to discover a wonderful email from scaa prez david griswold of sustainable harvest. this is how coffee can change your life at any moment.

it mentioned the same mexican pluma that was in the blend i cupped with peter g. of counterculture! small small world.

in fact, i'm changing my habit and making pizza today, not tomorrow. must express joy now!
