Hi CM: I hope you are well. Your YouTube isn't up at the moment.

Wow, that was splendid, so much cool stuff, the three guys with the flag, the monkeys, the Viking shortboat. I would love to leave something that cool behind. Thank you, Michael.

Alll this AND one of my favorite songs, containing one of my favorite lyrics:
"A oorah, a oorah, a oogah, oogah"
?
You may rest assured I will pay many visits to Roadside America dot com and, as a gesture of eternal friendships among the peoples of the world, I give you this website in exchange:

No, not a mention of it, you are most welcome.

(Nick Englebert had a wonderful view, didn't he? Yes, the view in his head was fascinating also but no, I'm talking about the view out on the countryside. Magnifico !)

I just love the new top of your blog banner photograph! What a great photo. The sampling and testing of coffees, I wonder if that was his hobby or profession in the photo. He sure looks like a coffee pro! I bow to the caffeinated nectar of the Gods.

The wind, the loneliness, the wierd statues and the way you slowly pan the camera make me think about the beginning of a mistery movie :)

Coffee Messiah said...

cafeP: He was from way back, hence the look of his folk art. There's more further N of here, which we hope to see before summer's out.
