Gentle Readers, If You Need Coffee, Just Bring Your Own.

I saw a guy in a study area at Richland College in Dallas, TX.

As I concentrated voraciously on my photocopied chemistry worksheet, he poured himself a cup of coffee.

Even though he was not in a general eating area, he just brought a huge coffee pot with him and poured himself a tasty beverage. Although I did not see an electrical cord, I know he must have plugged it in somehow.

Gentle readers, I have never seen someone pour their own coffee from a coffee pot they brought from home. I was stunned, but also happy to have a story to tell.

He asked me to watch his stuff a bit later on...this gave me the opportunity to secretly gather the highly classified information neccessary for this blog. When he came back, I asked him if he does this on a regular basis (he was maybe in his mid 20's, with a white dressy shirt--too dressy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and jeans).

He said yes, and also said nonchalantly, "sometimes I make tea, and sometime I make coffee."
Later on, maybe I will post a picture that I sneakily took.
