It’s Sunday morning. Cold! Present temperature is -5 degrees. Our second day of sub-zero temperatures. The high yesterday was only 6 degrees. As I parked the car at the curb in front of the Bean Cycle I questioned my sanity. Oh, well the mocha and Leslie’s and Carly’s smiles are worth it.
The Bean Cycle shares their space with Wolverine Press, a used book store and a local publishing company. I’ve shared images from the bookshelves at Wolverine Press before. I come down here to relax with a cup of coffee or a mocha, maybe write or use the internet and wander through the used books. I enjoy sitting in the loft and look down on the regulars, even in this cold. By patronizing a favorite coffeehouse I establish a connection with the baristas and other patrons. They become an extended family. Therefore my insanity. 🙂

Wise move sitting in the loft, as I presume it is warmer due to the rising heat. We were in the 20s earlier this week, hit 70 today but the forecast for tomorrow is 40. Weird weather here, and it seems awfully early for single digits out there. Stay warm!

It’s 2 degrees right now. Yes, I’m back in the loft where it is warmer. Most of our single digits only appear in January/February but we can see single digits at any time. This weekend was graduation at CSU so that made it tough for the winter graduates. 🙂 I did see where there were frost warnings to your. Stay warm!

I used to love to go to Half-Price Books, in Dallas. There was just something about the smell of all of those various books. Sometimes, you could find a few treasures, but you could always find a deal. 🙂 As for -5 … fuhgeddaboutit! 😀 Too damn cold! Brrrrrr!

I can relate to the smell in a book store and picking up the books. Knowing someone else’s hands have held this book, their eyes have scanned the pages, the words created images within them. Yippers. And, we’re above freezing this morning. 🙂
