I had 3 cups of tea
This was Americano number 2 of 3 this morning in one of my favorite cups, from Castroville Pottery in Castroville, TX. I love this cup.

Is there any coffee in there?
That's all coffee. :cool: Well, more accurately, it's espresso diluted with a little hot water.

What you're seeing at the top is just a thin layer of crema from the espresso. Mmm... Crema is a byproduct of CO2 from the fresh coffee beans and the extraction of the espresso under pressure.

Yeah, but we're talking about the Stones. Heck, when they first came out I was in the seventh grade.
Used to take a brontosaurus to school.

Where I was born and raised that was a reality.

In Massachusetts, remember walking to school, because I was literally 100 feet too close to school, which was over a mile away....I was in elementary school, it was snowing hard, likely 10 inches on the ground. Then they cancelled school, and sent us home early, and I had to walk home in over a foot of snow.... I think I was in 5th grade at the time. This happened many times in the winter.....

I don't miss those days although as a young boy we loved the no school snow days. Heck even as a new driver spin outs were awesome.....then reality set in. :) Side note, Texas winter is around the corner with this morning in the low 60's....

Not much snow in Seattle, but in the 8th grade, I went to a small private school that was 1 1/2 miles from my house. It being Seattle, there were two hills to trudge up and down over along the way. Winters are dark and rainy, but I recall enjoying the independence.

I remember it getting really cold in the north part of Texas, around Wichita Falls and Henrietta. You must be further south. :)
