| Introduction | Adapted from Monty Python's Flying Circus. "I never wanted to be on this blog... no, I wanted to be... a lumberjack! The douglas-fir! The hemlock! The rather diminutive Taxus Brevifolia! Floating down the mighty Willamette... with 'the Penetrometer' [auger] by my side!... We sing, sing, sing! I'm a lumberjack and that's okay. I [don't] sleep all night and I work all day. I cut down trees, I eat my lunch, I use Plot3D. On Wednesdays I do spatial analysis, and support ESRI." |

You moved the pot before the coffee stopped brewing. Do you smell the mountains or the burro?
I finally understand the question-- Folgers coffee has a mountain on the front, Maxwell house has a burro on the front. I only drink Folgers coffee at home. In fact, I am really picky about that. Going out I only drink coffees that have been warm drip, open-top prepared. It's just me but there's nothing grosser than a cup of burnt bottom, over-cooked, low-grade coffee. Trust me, I'm picky.
