Seth Sez: "The results are fantastic. this coffee is so floral and incredibly lively, from start to finish. The acidity is amazingly well-defined, with lemony brightness. The body is very light, yet thrilling. The aroma has strong, pulpy fruitiness, and a lemon-blossom sweetness, with dried peach fruit and lemon rind scents. The rindy citrus quality comes through in the cup, as well as an intense spice accent of ginger and a bit of clove, with a winey accent to the fruit in the aftertaste, as well as drying cocoa powder finish. As it cools, the chocolate shifts, and the aftertaste is more intense, like baker's chocolate. It's a joy to cup this coffee."

I Sez: "What he said."

a clever defacement

The bright yellow blob painted on the sidewalk quickly got my attention as I headed to my polling place .. the church on the corner. As I made out the name, I thought this guy must have some balls to paint his campaign ad on a public sidewalk. That is until I got close enough to read the disclaimer at the bottom.

David Esrati has the distinction of being the only person ever to be expelled from a city commission meeting under arrest for refusing to remove the Batman mask he was wearing. He's the kind of guy who would love to get arrested for defacing a public sidewalk.

in comes the good air

I took advantage of this cloudless bright and sunny day to open several windows here at the old homestead. My kind of weather .. for outdoors, a light jacket and a ball cap .. and I'm as snug as a bug. This is how November should always start.

Happy Halloween
