Annapolis Capital Punishment

I drink maybe three cups a week and only decaf which I make myself, so I could care less that Starbucks is closing one of its many stores in town. Close'em all as far as I am concerned. You know--it's the ubiquitous place that sells three hundred varieties of a hot liquid in a paper cup for three bucks, or four or five...I think it's just silly that people are willing to part so easily with their dollars that they will plunk them down as they do at Starbucks--especially when we have locally owned and operated stores whose owners actually live in town. Do you s'pose it has something to do with an addiction??? Dunnnh! I do think its funny that the mayor attended a ribbon cutting ceremony for the one at Park Place and some other stores just about as it was announcing it was closing. But lo and behold--a plumber's union is moving to Park Place! If only Starbucks had known! Of course they are in sort of the same business-right? I mean moving lots of brownish liquids around quickly for outrageous prices. The more coffee we drink, the more we flush, the more we flush, the more we need plumbers....

If I am gonna sip I'll go to Ahh Coffee and keep my dollars here in town. Personally I prefer beer anyway......
