Greetings,
Boy, sometimes I just don't realize what a slave I've become
to certain things in my life. What I'm talking about is our
automatic coffee maker. Every night the wife throws in a few
scoops of coffee and fills the reservoir with water and sets
it to start brewing at 6:45 a.m. That way, when we make it
downstairs at 7 o'clock there is a big steaming pot of coffee
waiting for us.
So last week it broke. Just wouldn't brew. I really didn't
think anything of it. In fact, I took a bottle of juice with
me in the car to work instead of my usual travel mug. But by
9:30 a.m. I was already starting to get a headache. I'm not
prone to headaches so I was wondering what the heck it could
be until I realized that usually, by 9:30, I've had three
cups of coffee. It really made me stop and think about what
all that daily caffiene is doing to my body.
So this week I've been trying try restrict myself to only one
cup of jo in the morning. I still get a bit of a headache,
but it's slowly getting better. Kind of makes me wonder what
else I might be unknowingly addicted to!

*************** BIZARRE STORY OF THE WEEK ****************
--- Workers Cross The Line By Painting Under Parked Car ---
SALFORD, England - An Englishman is facing more than $1,100
in tire damage and a ticket after parking his car in what
appeared to be a legal space in the town of Salford. Not
only did he get a parking ticket but Nasser Khan says his
tires were partially melted by a machine that painted a
yellow "no parking" line under his car while he was at
work, London's Daily Mail reports. Khan says there wasn't
a yellow no-parking line along the curb when he found the
parking place in the morning. "I thought I was lucky to
get the space, but it turned out it was not as lucky as I
thought," said Khan. It seems that while Khan was gone,
workers for the firm hired to paint yellow parking
restriction lines were a bit overzealous and didn't let
his parked car prevent them from completing their task,
the newspaper said.
