In Jamaica,
bats sucking on the ripe
coffee fruit at night is a signal
the beans are ready to pick.
When we had our coffeehouse, Jim here,
a teacher from another town would come in
and perform magic tricks.
For this one, he asked another magician
locally who was in to guess a card and Jim
would then have his picture taken and this
card is the one he chose.
It reminded me of some of the shenanigans
this past year, er 8 yrs, politically.

Coffee, if only all the people in the world could spend lots of time in coffee houses, just sipping and chatting, the world would surely be a peaceful place.
Perhaps you, as the Coffee Messiah, need to launch a coffee revolution.
How about it?
Hmmm… bats sucking on the ripe coffee fruit at night would be enough to keep me away from the coffee fruit.
david: That's part of the problem. Division in so many ways. No interaction, person to person. I'm afraid we may be too late for revolution. Appears no one is interested! ; (
nick: You know, the fruit isn't actually the bean itself, don't you?
i like that image of bats indicating the fruit's ripeness. i once had a coffee plant that produced fruit, but no bats to tell me when to pick it. no matter, there weren't enough beans for even a demi-demi-tasse.
Bats are wonderful creatures. Here in the desert they are a vital pollinator and nature's pest controllers.
dennis remembers when Pat Paulsen was running--he was frickin hilarious--thanks for the reminder.
we got bats they way cool
roger:That's amazing and I do know it takes plenty of beans to make a small cup of java.....
merle: Yes, sometimes even the ugliest things in life are the most positive. How little we accept.
dennis: He was a vision of fresh air and simple truths....
i never could master le simplest card trick.
We're Up Against It Now is a classic!
prof m: I know how to disappear! ; )
kurt: A classic that endures.....we've come so far ; (
