Coffee and oil just go well together. They're both brown liquid commodities. They are a source of energy for millions even billions of people. They fluctuate in value greatly and people have been known to kill for both.
I have a friend from college. Let's call him Dave Alviso. Great man. Dave was once seen rollerskating (not inlining) down Commonwealth Avenue in Boston with a flowing ponytail, jean shorts, large metallic boombox and a shear polyester mesh cut-off tee that would make The Artist Formerly know as Prince "wanna be your lover." I believe it was a Tuesday in April...not Halloween. Just for fun. He later received the lifestyle award from one R.M. Schneiderman. So you can see why I value Mr. Alviso's opinion greatly.
In college, amidst a dewy cloud of marijuana smoke, Dave was asked if he wanted a cup off coffee. In a stern but nonchalant manner, he quickly replied, "I don't do drugs." A poignant and situationally hilarious comment. I now understand him completely. I've been back in the oilfield for almost two weeks and I'm hooked on the java. Granted my sleep schedule is all askew and I often need a caffeine boost but I thought I was a stronger man. I have gone nearly a year without any coffee arousal and her I am perking up a pot every 3 hours.
Got me thinking that there must be a reason that coffee and oil have been running the world for so long. We're hooked. I guess just like the oilfield, once coffee gets in your blood, you just can't resist the temptation to dip back into your old ways.
Keep it clean, mean gene.
rf, over and out.
