Caffeine Crisis

Starbucks is closing some stores

Certainly there is much moaning, weeping, and gnashing of teeth among writers everywhere in country. How, pray tell, can you expect anything to get done? Just having the Mac laptop, whimsical clothes, and work hours that would make a banker cry isn’t enough. There has to be Starbucks.

High gas prices mean we can’t drive across town, more likely to the next block, to find one either. Alas, we may have to resort to off-brand coffee houses without the snazzy cups and hot-grip things boasting of high post-consumer content. Worse, we may have to fill our travel mugs at home with, dare I put it in writing, store bought coffee. No, not Folgers…..Oh the humanity!
