Ten pounds of personality in a five-pound bag
Some people are morning larks. They wake up early and go to bed early.
Some people are night owls. They stay up late and wake up late.
I have found, as I grow older, that I really need more sleep than I give myself. I can’t stay up until all hours of the night anymore, but waking up is still very difficult.
Per this magnet I found: I am clearly a Perpetually Exhausted Pigeon.
There’s a chain store near me, Wild Birds Unlimited, that used to be a local mom-and-pop shop and still employs many of the same employees even after the original owners retired/sold the store. I like them a lot.
At some point, I’m going to write a comprehensive summary of my buying habits, which goes something like “you get what you pay for; unless you don’t.” About how some luxury items are worth it, and some are just a waste of money, and everyone is going to draw their line in a different place. About how most good quality products aren’t cheap, but we don’t need to drown ourselves in a sea of Vebelen Goods either.
But for today, I just want to highlight the fact that I’m really happy I buy (some of) my coffee from a company that is focused on preserving bird habitat.
