Pipelines


On April 1st some years back, NPR did a story on how Starbucks was creating a pipeline from Seattle, Washington, to transport coffee across the nation. For a fee, Americans could have a line directly installed in their house so mornings could be spent with fresh, hot coffee at the faucet. They gave a number to call and, me being a quirky imbecile, I dialed it up. April Fools. I was duped.

I had Starbucks yesterday and although I'm not a fan of their coffee or corporation, I remembered this story. I await the day such caffeinated miracles arrive. In the meantime, when are you having me over for coffee?
