VERY LITTLE TRAVELS : "Bad, Bad People" (video), plus a good, good one.

One of my friends, a lovely woman named Kathie (not pictured) who was in her 40s when I was a young boy many years ago and with whom I have struck up a friendship again in later years, recommended a particular coffee stop in Tillamook: “They have Douwe Egbert there, and it’s one of only a few places in the state you can get it. It is the best coffee you can get in the state.”

She said something like that.

So we try to get some whenever we pass through. Tucked away next to Diet Pepsi and sports drinks; a little dispenser where you pump it out hot. And it is delicious! A particular and peculiar aroma and flavor combination that isn’t overpowering and has absolutely no bitterness.

I love coffee with a good story or recommendation behind it. The only thing I love more is drinking coffee - even bad coffee - with top-class peeps.

Lemme tell you who’s a top-class peep. Or show you. Guess what you: you’re looking (see above). One of the besta the best. My coffee-swilling, music-listening, fast longboard-riding, beautiful bud, chugging on a warm summer day with some ocean breeze. How do ya beat that?
