One more cup of coffee for the road

 One more cup of coffee ‘fore I go.

To the valley below.

Bob Dylan

 Over second and third cups flow matters of high finance, high state, common gossip and low comedy. [Coffee] is a social binder, a warmer of tongues, a soberer of minds, a stimulant of wit, a foiler of sleep if you want it so.  From roadside mugs to the classic demi-tasse, it is the perfect democrat. 

Joel Wallman
