Day 152: Tuesday, March 9, 2010:  The vacuum blew again.  It can’t handle the food crumbs.

Yesterday, I took my daughter to see Jack Hanna’s “Into the Wild” at the Jorgenson Theater, even though his animal show shares the same title as a book and movie, whereas some poor college grad named McCandless starved to death in Alaska, trying to rough it.

Jack kind of missed that one. 

Anyway, Jack brought an Asian Palm Civet, which produces the most expensive coffee in the world at up to $100.00 a cup here in the U.S.  The civet eats coffee berries for the pulp and poops it out a day and a half later, in a convenient bean shape.  It’s digestive system does weird ensyme chemical stuff to the berries, and they have a chocolate flavor when processed.  I’ll stick with Swiss Miss, thanks.  Maybe I’ll set the Havahart trap with some coffee berries and see if a mouse does something similiar.  Perhaps the Chinese will buy it for a lot . . .

Or not. 

They thought of it first.   

If I drink cream and sugar it's ready-mixed!
