When do you think things will go back to "Normal" (2019 standards)?

Hey Mr Dayster, I've mentioned my dad being from Michigan. Do you guys still refer to this time of year as Indian Summer? I guess with the invasion of Dearborn that term would have something to do with the smell as well as the temperature.

I'm in Ohio, but what used to be Indian summer, was when you would get a week of real nice days in like Dec. or Jan., after it's been cold already. But now a days, it seems like we have no spring, 2 weeks of fall, and searing heat, or frigid cold. When I was in grade school, it started snowing towards the end of Nov., and you didn't see grass or pavement until at least Mar. Now, it's nice through Nov. and Jan. thru April it sucks, and May is cold and rainy, then comes the heat, and orange barrels.

I am so glad I don't drive a truck anymore.

It was 127 in Death Valley yesterday. My sister-in-law is in Palm Springs. I had her and her husband come over here through Labor Day. My house is about five miles from the ocean so it's way cooler. UCLA played their first game in Pasadena to a record low crowd because of the heat.

Shrinkflation has been going on for a very long time. My Mom(born 1912) spoke a lot when I was young about how much sizes had shrunk on everything in her lifetime. and of course prices rose to make up for it. The sizes of stuff has become more noticeable now because companies no longer care if you know what they are doing or not. The companies are becoming more and more just a few corporations and figure that you will buy their stuff no matter what as there are few if any alternatives. Businesses used to be afraid of getting a bad reputation(remember those?) and were scared to do to much to the customers(what we were before we became "Consumers") because folks would go to the competition or maybe just do without. No longer.

We need a new President who has the right plan for inflation with a message that will unite us all.

I think in winter people will have a cup of coffee before a cold pop, but for some, it means nothing. I have 2 cups every morning. When I worked, it was 3 or 4. When I was younger and working hard, I might kill a pot or 2 if I was running Michigan, or had to go to Pittsburgh. My family drank coffee all day, and they would brew a pot, put it into pre warmed thermoses, while they brewed more. For a house of 4 or 5, depending if I stayed over or not.

So, I guess no, it doesn't. I should have posted that first.

I do about 5 cups during the summer and 6 in the winter. Iced coffee does nothing for me.

Every time I see a hippster douche bag, in skinny jeans with an iced coffee, I want to dimple his skull with a ball peen hammer, so it looks like a golf ball. The problem is, even though it's to expensive for a cup of coffee, Starbucks does make a great cup of regular coffee, and it's also filled to the brim with chuckle heads that order drinks that take 20 minutes to make, and have fancy names, that make you just get a twitch in your eye. Some of those drinks have more calories then a whole chocolate cake, and are twice as sweet.

The price of a box of cereal is kind of back to normal. I remember in the early 2010's when Kellogg's and Post wanted $8.50 or more for a 12 oz. box. I just went to the store the other day and an 18 oz of box of Cheerios is $4.69. Sure, it's the other major brand, General Mills. But still.

 

[Mr. Daystar]

Which is what I used before the Kurig. I liked the dark roast, or Columbian. Now with the cups, I go with the least expensive brand, but still dark roast. I like Italian the best, and French roast has a good flavor. I used to love a nice cup of Joe, from the electric percolator, or better yet, one the stove with an old Corning wear coffee pot. I still have 2 of the big ones, one barely used, the other used well, and an unused tea brewing pot. That old Corning wear is getting valuable.

 

[gmase]

French Roast for me. We get Starbucks whole beans at the local grocery and I make a pot in the morning. Black and strong.

 

[Mr. Daystar]

I went inot a Starbucks one day, and ordered a large black dark roast. I refuse to use their measurements. I'm waiting and the guy looked back at me, and asked if I wanted room for cream, to which I replied, like a dick, I thought black implied no cream? Then I told him I like my coffee just like my woman, strong and slightly bitter.

I heard everyone's ass unclench when they realized it wasn't going to be what they thought.

 

[Theopolis Q. Hossenffer]

Once again proving I am not a real American. I hate Starbucks coffee.

 

[Little Red Wagon Repairman]

I never drank a cup of black coffee in my life. I buy Peet's French Roast, brew it strong, then dump a buncha tasty sugar and half and half in there. When I go to Starbucks I get the vasca da bagno sized Caramel Macchiato. Hot please.

That doesn't make you anything. In fact, coffee isn't even an American drink. It was brought here by explorers or some shit. Just like chocolate. My wife doesn't like coffee period, and she's a good old fashioned liberal tree hugger, that drinks tea, green tea at that.

I don't like tea either

That's why they sell Bourbon.

The Doctor says no booze. Blood thinners. And before you ask, I had to give up food as well.

 

[Little Red Wagon Repairman]

Hey bubb, can you smoke weed? I prefer it to booze these days as I don’t get an upset stomach from the smoking. I also like the mellow high instead of being totally fucked up like with booze.

Well, enjoy you air. You are allowed air, aren't you?
