Working on my meers for some colour by the new year. Having eggnog coffee with MM 150th in my little meer.
Will post before and after in 2024.

Fox Campanile in the Peterson Irish Harp 128.
Walking to get coffee. My usual shop is on strike, so I'm taking a longer walk to another shop that I like better anyway.

A coffee shop on strike? I'm intrigued. Was it a staff walkout?

In Detroit, the auto industry was on strike (which effected suppliers and other companies) along with the casinos, and Walgreens. Twas a weird fall season.

Exclusive in a Davidson, trying to fight off the Sundays.

SWR in my Ed James Apple-Vat.

 

[Skink]

"Glovebox Stoved" 50/50 blend of 5 Brothers and Captain Black with a mug of black coffee. It's looking like the Fall Run is coming to an end.

1997 Luxury Navy Flake in the kk.
Doing some decorating, including this little Norfolk Pine.

 

[Amarkey]

Enjoying some Capt Black Original in my cob before my shift at work.

 

[AppalachianPipe92]

Cracked a tin of last years Atalaya for the first time. Smells great and sounds like something right up my alley. Smoking from a Sara Eltang acorn sandblast.

 

[Sobrbiker]

Having a bowl of SG 1792DKF whilst pondering the joys of procuring affordable property.
I’m really growing fond of this Royal Danish 924M volcano from the days Sixten was with Stanhill.

A pleasant Sunday morning with Viprati in the Briarworks Zulu, and coffee. (Slice of fruitcake already down the hatch)

 

[JimInks]

Not far from finishing this bowl of early 2000s Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style.

Mhm, baristas demanding a living wage.
Second time a local chain of coffee shops has had baristas strike in the past 15 months or so. First it was Heine Bros., now it's Sunergos.

I'm generally always on the side of workers striking. Concerning the baristas/service industry, it's not a black & white issue. Inflation is real, the costs of living increase yearly, but wages rarely follow suit.

As a line cook for 18 years with acquaintances still in the industry, I totally get it. The pandemic did more for increasing kitchen wages than any amount of hard work could.

BTW: what do you call a group of line cooks?

A "heard".

Big bowl of Sunset Harbor Flake in a Caminetto
