After the tornado...a double rainbow
Edited on Fri Jun-13-08 05:20 AM by SoCalDem
the white rectangular structure waaaay off in the distance is the ENORMOUS grain elevators on the outskirts of Salina, Kansas (my birthplace city)

4. I was just in Salina about 4 weeks ago
My husband and I spent the night there on our way to North Dakota.
I decided I wanted a second cup of coffee and we had to stop at the TARGET, which I hoped would have a Starbucks in it (as many Targets down here do)

Well there was a little cafe, and I went to get coffee...it was so weak it looked like tea. What's up with that? I had already thrown out a cup of coffee from a convenient store that was incredibly weak.

Is weak coffee a Kansas thing,

7. well, my ole Kentucky Granny made coffee on her old gas stove strong
enough to stop traffic. We used to joke that you had to have scissors to stop the stream when you were pouring it.

even cheap coffee can be strong. Seriously, I have made stronger tea.

but I get your point.

8. My grandfather always asked for an extra saucer
to keep the coffee from "crawling out of the cup"

:rofl:
