Bad News
This is a day that will live in infamy. Someone, you understand, broke into Backwoods Bean last night and trashed the place. What a mess!
They poured milk in all the bags of coffee beans. They broke the store window with Chris Bennett's painted rocks. They loaded the computer with all manner of viruses. And, I found three opossums and a dead cat in the bakery oven. I'll spare you the details of the dog poop in the smoothie blender.
Of course, the thing that really broke my heart was stealing Pearl, my brand new espresso machine. The Sparta policeman who came to investigate the crime scene said they had found something that fit the general description of Pearl down in the Little River where it passes under Main Street. It was badly mangled he said.
Now, to add insult to injury, I learned that espresso machines are not covered by my casualty insurance. Sure enough, there is a clause on page 47 that specifically excludes espresso machines made in Italy. You understand, naturally, that 99.44% of all commercial espresso machines are made in Italy. Bummer. Pays to read the small print, especially in an insurance policy written by a Greek company.
Yes, indeed, April 1, 2009 is a day I will long remember.
More later.
