National Coffee Day 2025
 |
I'm not so much in love with the taste but partake to get jacked up by the caffeine.
I begin the day with a small pot which holds a scant more than two of the 16 ounce cups I typically consume ...
Then I end up pouring out a lot of it after the first cup.
I find myself increasingly unable to finish a single cup. I may have to just buy some caffeine tablets and call it a day.
Today is National Coffee Day.
It is observed on September 29 in the US and Canada. Many other nations observe it on October first. I believe their observance is called "International Coffee Day". Be all of this as it may; it is said that the coffee farmers struggle to make a living wage. With what they charge in the grocery store for the stuff you'd think they are all driving Italian race cars and living in alabaster mansions high above the mountainside fields.
So coffee has gone from condemned by the Catholic church (of course) to an international staple.
I intend to keep drinking it. Not because I like the taste so much as the kick in the butt it gives me to start my day.
Happy National Coffee Day, regardless when you observe it.
