french 

@cpsdqs The trick is to be willing to ignore the pronunciation rules and just say things in whatever way sounds French.

People are bouncing off the front door, but we've been warning them we'd be closed during this time so it's their own fault that they chose not to believe that.

If something goes horribly wrong, we won't reopen until we can do that reasonably so I'm not promising a firm re-opening time.

Shop is closed for the next half hour for water utility work. They've been getting the work done quickly with the places that are already done so they might not need the full half hour, but we're taking the full half hour for breaks.

It looks like the refund for the cancelled Miku concert went through a couple weeks ago. Now they're crowd funding a concert to stream online (all stretch goals hit within about half a week) but that's going to be free for whoever wants to show up to watch it.

@fikran Not really. I've blocked some bad actors, but the main reason it might be obscure is just that I'm the only active user here.

Between the two orders, it's a bit under 1,200 pounds of coffee on the way.

2nd coffee order for the day is more of a couple things that we were going to run out of mid-December. That's probably my last coffee order for the year (unless sales greatly exceed expectations).

I doubt she's writing notes on all the orders, but I've purchased coffee from her and we've worked on projects together so I think she just happened to recognize that the order came from someone she knows.

Ordered our next limited edition coffee that we should have available some time next week. It's an unusually processed mix of Typica and Yellow Caturra coffee from Peru.

I bought a copy of Phyllis Johnson's new book, _The Triumph: Black Brazilians in Coffee_ and she included a nice little hand written note on the packing slip.

Updated the shop's web site with upcoming deviations from normal hours. We're closed Thanksgiving (Nov. 26) like always and and this upcoming Thursday we're taking a half hour that's a bit ambiguous as to exactly when that's going to be because it'll coincide with water utility work being done in the area.

Once my box escaped from Germany it arrived very quickly, so now I have a new musical thingy to play around with.

Tried a production test batch of the latest decaf Brazil as a medium roast today (it's been our used for our decaf French Roast for a while now) and that was good so it's available in store and online now.
