“Noice lookin’ coffee ya got there.”

Just got a Christmastime discount on excellent beans from Vancouver-based 49th Parallel. A big-but-small roaster. Bonus: pretentious notes!

Ducks at dusk, chattering on the banks of the Fraser River somewhere in south #Vancouver.

The raking light of the sunset turns the dark clouds’ edges orangey-white with patches of blue background. Somewhere in south Vancouver.

Sunset pour-over, somewhere in south Vancouver. China cup adds 25% in experiential value BTW.

Coincidentally I recently saw a Look magazine from 1964 with a feature on extremism, including disinformation about Operation Water Moccasin. Warnings of “barefoot Africans” invading Georgia, Communist takeover etc. The long thread of various R prejudices and the factory of lies that spreads them.

Half-caf French/espresso roast from 49th Parallel in #Vancouver; ~2012 Jura Ena 4 super automatic. Great with waffles I made on #F1 race day!

Saw this last night and highly recommend tonight’s Vancouver Symphony Orchestra concert featuring the incomparable Louis Lortie on piano. You’ll pay a very reasonable price for the whole seat but only use the edge! #classical

If you’re going to be here, having your coffee or tea in a for here mug improves the experience.
