What do I got? I love my VuNow POD– started watching episodes of Buck Rogers (in addition to Highlander and It Takes A Thief). The weather is noticeably shifting to lower temperatures. I have some appointments lined up this week. And at the end of the week is the Campaign for Liberty Regional conference. I can hardly wait. I wanted to go to the 9/12 march but the thought of heading to DC along with thousands scared me a little. Considering how Saturday unraveled, going to DC and getting trampled by a herd would have been preferable. Sock it to me. I bought mocha coffee at the grocery last week. Total mistake. Tastes like chemicals. Wish I could return it but I have no clue what I did with my receipt. But I don’t think you can return food like you can return a pair of shoes. It’s Eight o Clock coffee, which I normally quite like. But the mocha is yucky. Speaking of coffee, I think I need another cup. I feel like I am emerging from the bowl of jello that is my morning haze.

You can take it back and exchange it for another kind. They’ll probably believe you bought it there. Or you could contact the company. I’m sure they’d send you a free one.
I just sent them the following letter:
Hello!
First off, I am a long time Eight o’Clock customer. Your coffee has always been affordable AND DELICOUS! And I appreciate that and thank you. The other day I went to the grocery store and was browsing through the Eight o’clock shelf when my eyes spied a new flavor, MOCHA! I am quite a chocoholic and I couldn’t resist buying a bag. In my head I had visions of your delicious coffee with a lovely hint of chocolate! I bought it! The next morning I made myself a cup and was surprised to find that although it smells like chocolate, it actually tastes like it’s been soaked in chemicals. I decided it had something to do with my coffee pot or something I did since Eight o’Clock coffee puts out a fine product and would never sell anything that tasted this foul. The next morning I scrubbed my mug and my coffee pot so as to get anything out that might be polluting my new Mocha coffee. Well guess what? It smells great but it still tasted like CHEMICAL! It’s just terrible tasting. Now here’s the thing. Like most people today, I don’t have money where I can just throw it away on bad tasting coffee. And because I didn’t keep the receipt, ACME won’t allow me to return the coffee. Look, I am not angry with you guys but I am disappointed. I expected more. Is there something you can do to maybe make it up to me?
Thanks!
