I totally agree! It's pretty damn cold here too, though it has finally stopped snowing. Hey, do you know anything about espresso machine bases?

At least you have some variety over there. Here in Ireland it just rains and rains and rains. I think if we had 1" of snow here the whole country would stop in its tracks.

Not a problem. One of my greatest friends grew up in Antigonish, NS, and we used to drive through Moncton to get there from Vermont. It's a beautiful neck of the woods, I have to say a piece of me misses the east coast. If you're ever in Wyoming....

Thanks, Steve! I had been Torondo last December and met the blizzard. It was a very NICE memory.
But unfortunately, the coffee I can drink is in the hotel during three weeks, so sad unhh...
I will fly there in next Mar or Apr, maybe you can give me some good advice about coffee shop.
Anyway, I am very flattered by your comment.

You Canadians are everywhere Steve. Just had a customer walk in the door here from BC (remember I am in Jakarta, so its not as common as it may sound!)

OK Coffee Penguin

Yeah! Steve! If Steve is your real name! What is with Canadians being everywhere? I've looong wondered about how such a global coverage by Canadians is possible.

We penguins have sought global supremacy for too long to let you pesky Canadians stand in our way any longer. THE SOUTH POLE SHALL RISE AGAIN!
