Micah 6:8
1 Corinthians 10:21
Yes, your life matters.
Some of you are still sheltering in place, but fear not: I'm here to keep you sane and entertained.
One could hardly ask for much more than that, now could one?
Today marks one of the main reasons Americans drink so much more coffee than tea. Yes, it's the anniversary of the Boston Tea Party. (I know my pseudo-quote in the title is not from that event, but feel free to berate me in the comments if you wish.)
When Parliament decided to tax their countrymen's tea - but only those in the colonies! - it was the tax that broke the camel's back (to mix some metaphors).
We (the colonists, soon to be Americans) decided that if they were going to charge us extra to drink tea, we'd just switch to coffee and let them have that Eastern swill. And so here we are, lo these many years later, drinking our fill of Jamaican Blue Mountain or Tanzanian Peaberry or Ethiopian Hararar or whatever type we like best, happily keeping our pinkies right there with the rest of our fingers as we raise a mug rather than a teacup. Serves you right, you tax and spend Parliamentarians! Fie on thee and thy house!
I think I'll have another cup. Cheers.
Keep Calm and Don't Stay Away.
I'll be back tomorrow.
