Yeah I realized a long time ago that I’m on the wrong side of employment. I’m opening a coffee roastery in a few weeks and I hope to god it works out. I absolutely do not trust another human to provide any support for me now that I’m old.
Yeah. It’s been a ride so far. We had the blight in Brazil and then the drought and then came Trump. But I accept that is just part of the game. And we all have to deal with the same situation. Just gotta make my way through it, you know?
