My name is Julie Douglass. I'm an anthropologist who decided to open a store rather than stay in academia. My husband is a retired anthropologist and businessman. My hobbies are travel, reading, fly fishing, gardening, and aquariums, including reef tanks and sea horses. I own a fair trade handcrafts store in Reno Nevada. Having a cafe has always been a dream of mine. I'd like to emphasize fair trade and sustainable coffees at "Fairly Grounded". I have a website at artisansfairtrade.com.

    Julie,
    Thank you for adding me as a friend. It is a special honor to get to know other shop owners and hear there story. We all have much more in common than most think. Nice to see a class of business like yours get set up in Reno. Another great reason to take some time off.
    Have a great coffee day,
    Joseph

    Thanks for the hello, Julie! Washington is great! I'll be back in Reno for a few weeks starting the 11th. See you sometime soon, I'm sure.

    Julie... fishing in Manaus, wow. I only realized, a few years ago, how many organized fishing trips-tours-vacations there were to the Northeast. Our family fazenda (cattle) is in Goias, and I've fished both lake and river. If I can make it happen, I'll be back visiting family in August or September. The decision for me is how much time I want visiting coffee fazendas versus spending time "on the water fishing." Essentially, they're in opposite directions. This is not an easy choice!
