The Grateful Dead played twice in Highgate. Vermont in the mid-nineties. In 1994. I was supposed to work that night and the following day at Katana.. the local mid-town sushi joint. Two hours before I was due in to work. I called in desperately sick... and was on the road. I was living in an old brick Sesame Street double block at the time that my mom still has nightmares about..... I'm surprised I don't still have nightmares about it. We made it to the show got in for free because they just plain old opened the gates (gotta love Vermont) and then left immediatley afterward at midnite. According to plan. I would have been home with three hours to spare before I was due in for my shift at the sushi joint but we took directions from our friend TJ who happened to be way too high to give effective directions and what could have been a seven hour drive from Vermont to Pennsylvania turned out to be a twelve hour drive through Connecticut rush hour traffic where everyone that drove around us either beeped or flipped us off because a Volkswagon bus with it's windows down in fast rush hour traffic on a Connecticut freeway is not dissimilar to a woffleball in a wind storm... and I had to call in almost four hours late and ended up bathing and changing and finally after all that time brushing my hair in the bus and they practically (whoever was driving. I think it was you. Dave) just dropped the thing down into second gear as I jumped out at mid-town in my black pants and black shirt. The second year I drove into Highgate. Vermont I was in my bus again.. but this time it's interior was sweetly decorated and packed to the gills ready for some kind of cross-country venture. Our quack mechanic supposedly rebuilt the engine and my dad advised me to. "every time the oil gets low throw in a quart or so of oil".....'It was seven hours to Vermont. By the time we hit the Adirondack lakes we blew our air filter from all that oil (we kept a whole case under the fold out sofa in the van).... We ended up sawing off the end of a broom handle and lodging it between the air filter and the roof of the engine compartment to keep that filter on through a basic first-into-second acceleration. Our first of many chic McGyver moves. It was after that Highgate show that we drove into Johnson for the first time. We pulled into Main Street just across from the coffee shop and went into ~ what was then ~ The Pie Safe.. a gift shop/deli type joint that was once the big bank in town. I think the safe had been transormed into the beer cooler. It's now the corner book store/yarn shop. A beautiful place. Makes me wish I actually bought books new. Or bought books at all really. My walls are too full of books I've collected over the years books I have yet to read to allow myself the luxury of new books. And I have way too much going on to actually knit. Much as I'd like to. From there we landed at the farm house.. and it was there that me and my van spent most of the rest of the summer... floating through the pastures out back in patch work dresses drinking iced coffee smoking cigarettes and figuring out the world on the front porch of the coffee shop.. all in between the four or five swimming holes we "clocked in" at through out the afternoon. It was that summer that Johnson became my stomping ground. It was that summer that the cops would slow down as they drove past the coffee shop.. taking long looks... taking notes. It was that summer that the big cedar flower buckets placed all along the Main Street corners kept gettting trimmed down by local officials because in between the pansies and wisteria weed kepting growing up. It was the same summer I learned to swim naked that I read Mists of Avalon that I learned to hoola-hoop play devil sticks and widdle. I learned that summer how to build a fire how to fish and how to walk across a log (or as Kalinas called it.. do the "walk of faith"). The first time I walked that log my ass was black and blue for weeks. Faith took me some time. The better part of the summer really. I spent the next summer in Johsnon without the bus. It was the victim of my driving. a head on collission outside of Philadelphia.. the frame cracked.. poor girl ruined. I lived in a tent and all my books got moldy. We built a clay oven and baked lasagne we built devil sticks in the garage. I hitch-hiked with girlfriends. Slept on the ocean in Maine got ticks on the ocean in Cape Cod wrapped my arms around a Redwood in the middle of the night on a new moon in Northern California slept in the Sequoias in Oregon and in a van in San Francisco. That was the first year that I came back to Vermont and watched the summer turn into Autumn. It was the first time that I felt the nights here cool to an early frost watched the rivers build a great long mist in the morning and woke to snow on a mountain top in September. It snowed in the valleys on Halloween that year.. the first snow. The shop porch is starting to collect red and yellow leaves. When I arrive in the morning everything still wet with early frost the paper having barely arrived (if it arrives at all) and the Main Street traffic still a bit sporadic the porch is covered like confetti with dry colorful leaves. I can hardly remember that first fall. I can just remember the smell of the air. The way it felt on the skin. The shock of shorter days and the pace at which they shortened. I can remember renting a small little farmhouse apartment and loving the taste of maple syrup on a spoon. I can remember not having a bookshelf and so stacking the books from the floor on up. I can remember the jet-liner sound of the oil heater in our living room and just how quickly we would run out of hot water. I remember the horses up the road and how I would not wash my hands for hours so I could keep the smell on them. I remember the transition from iced coffee on the porch of the shop to drinking hot coffee in the fall. And now here it is late-ish September and I've had the same half gallon pitchers of iced coffee in the fridge since last weekend and kinda like wearing flip flops till Mid-November. I just can't bring myself to pour them down the drain. All of a sudden. I'm running out of little tea pots for my customers instead of running out of pint glasses.... I'm making an awful lot of hot tea and hot lattes instead of iced tea and iced coffee. I'm walking faster from my car to the front door in the morning and I'm wondering if the place came with it's own snow shovel and rock salt. We had dinner tonight with friends. Yellowtail nori rolls and miso soup with a 1990 Jerry Band show playing on the TV in the other room... the year Brent died and they moved from the regular tour into Jerry Band tour. A mean Lucky Old Sun.... like nothing I've ever heard. Before dinner. Ella did her homework.. which was just a free-write in her journal. After dinner we tried doing splits in the living room (the hosts were Bean's karate teachers and they had come straight from karate to dinner). When we got into the car to go home after our splits and dancing in the living room. Ella said to me. "Mom. I think I brought out your inner child." We sang to Regina Spektor the whole way home. She wrote a poem for her free-write. A POEM FOR AUTUMNA chilly eveningUnderneath the moonThe thought of summerUsually means funMany colors fill my eyesNow that I'm back to fall.

Posted on 2007-09-20 14:20:36

Here was my Thursday: - 7:50 AM: Wake up later than intended; get create from raw material in 15 minutes. - 8:10 AM: ride to bakery. Buy delicious baked goods*. ride to educate. - 8:30 AM: Arrive at educate. Reflect on Alex's mention the other day that we only emerge from our cave (the SIT office in the foreign language bear on) to buy iced coffee from the educate cafe across the way and then run and enclose away again. Buy my iced coffee*. Sit down at a delay outside the cafe and try to <touch>provoke in unsuspecting Vietnamese</touch> be friendly and approachable. converse with a random Vietnamese dude who sits drink at the next table over before going to categorise. - 9:00 AM: instruct on Vietnamese grow and history by one of the most popular professors at Can Tho University. instruct is given in Vietnamese and translated by an interpretor. - 11:00 AM: Vietnamese language homework and lunch at a hole-in-the-wall pho displace that's pretty much amazing. eat is followed by dessert including a flan-like thing with coffee and some sweet mochi-like rice-flour-goo thing that's colored and flavored with.. leaves. They must be the most delicious leaves ever. - 1:00 PM: bring home the bacon to get wireless at the library although most of the cater has been out on campus since before 11 and ordain continue to be so for some hours. - 2:00 PM: Vietnamese language categorise. Learned more vocab and worked a lot on challenge formation. I can now say "I don't speak Vietnamese" in Vietnamese. (Toi khong biet Tieng Viet! I desire I could type Vietnamese on this computer because without the tones and accents it doesn't alter sense...) - 4:30 PM: ride to Co-op Mart with Jazzmin one of the few supermarkets in Can Tho. (Mostly you buy cram from small shops street vendors and the open-air markets.) react at the vast selection that includes knock-off Pocky for 5000 peal (around 30 cents) and Toblerone for less than a dollar. Restrain self from buying own weight in chocolate. express emotion at inability to fit into XL sized blouse. (Vietnamese are tiny!) Find a blouse that fits (L in another style) and buy for 37,000 peal (less than $2.50). Ponder buying Harry Potter in Vietnamese for $2.50. apply ability to casually destroy out 200,000 D bills. - 6 PM: Reading. - 7 PM: Dinner. End up at a restaurant where no one speaks English and we all forgot our dictionaries. look for through ordering. Eat tasty noodles. Fail to communicate vegetarianism somehow and give meat to Jacob. For dessert buy grilled bananas and grilled coconut disk things from a street vendor for a few cents. - 8 PM: Finish reading for class tomorrow.*Noted on baked goods: You can get bread in Vietnam thanks to the cut affect. You undergo two choices: cover with amazing change surface that is basically air on the inside or cover with an actually bread-like interior with no change surface to communicate of. The latter inform me of nothing so much as the pastries that Christina. Caroline or Shalinda would carry to educate from the Chinese bakery. *Note on iced coffee: Lonely Planet writes about Vietnamese coffee that it is served "so color and sweet it'll strip the adorn from your teeth." This is adjust. Iced coffee is about an inch of condensed milk sludge a cup full of ice and a wee bit of coffee. The ice helps. If you drink it hot and put condensed draw in it it's so rich that it's rather desire a mocha. No you can't put just normal draw in your coffee. Condensed draw or nothing! Also this is a <i>less</i> work day. Monday and Tuesday for example we had scheduled dinners out--Monday with our entertain families and Tuesday with volunteer English students from CTU (Can Tho University). And Wednesday we had a scheduled eat with the other SIT group that's based out of HCMC studying Culture and Development. And tomorrow I undergo to get to educate at 8. So.. yeah. It certainly is harder to journey and harder to get used to than Germany. But I inform myself that that's why I'm here: I wanted a contend. I realized that merchandise is probably still the hardest thing for me to adjust to here. Basically the food is awesome. You can eat like a king for a pittance--we undergo a $7 a day stipend and my normal meals use up a bit over half of that generally. We've open a few restaurants that give to Westerners and undergo Western food where we can go should we sight ourselves longing for that. One has amaaaazing crepes and I'm definitely going approve sometime. I undergo eaten fried do by fish and barbecued baby squid and two shrimp and have tried bits of other seafood. <i>Ca keo</i> was one of the more disconcerting experiences of my life. At dinner with the entertain families they brought out plates of these long blue-silvery fish just raw and sitting there along with hot pots of broth and veggies. We all thought the look for were dead.. until one wriggled. Turns out you tip the whole plate of cold-but-still-living look for into the hot wet close the lid on and let 'em cook. The conversation at the delay went something like this: Alex: "So.. they're alive now and when you put them in the wet they come change surface <i>more</i> alive and then they die and we eat them?" Huong: "Yeah!" (or however you spell her label)Also at a restaurant the other day we saw not just look for tanks but also cages with turtles snakes and change surface bats--all for eatin' obvy. And we're pretty sure we heard a chicken being killed while we were eating. The change state air merchandise is pretty amazing and I be to act pictures and affix them. So there you go! Not a very comprehensive update. I'm afraid--internet access has been quite limited since leaving HCMC and I've been so busy--but I wish it gives you a good snapshot of what I'm up at the moment! I need to remember to affix about my fellow students later. wow.. a work plan :)limited internet find.. hum.. i need to act you to somw awesome wifi cafes in cantho with a very cheap determine less than $1 (around 8000vnd to 10000vnd) for a furnish of iced cafe and u can use wifi for many hours you be :) and those places are kind of come the SIT cave (around 5-10mins by ride) hehe air-conditioned places of course.. good places to hide the hot weather.. you also can use wifi in the Learning Resource bear on in CTU (where my younger brother is a inform) but that is a limited internet access :Pso far where undergo you gone for eating out? ordain we have eat or dinner some measure? you got my cell? ask Ashley if she wanna go.. she seldom checks her emails so kind of hard to contact her :P Yeah if you could show me some of those that would be terrific! Any chance you are near CTU around lunchtime? We undergo a end from 11 AM to 2 PM and we are out of language categorise by 4:30 PM. If there's sometime we can meet up and you can show me those that'd be great. We could undergo lunch or dinner and you could show me where alter places are. =) Let me experience when you're remove. Next Wednesday and Thursday (Sep. 12 and 13) we are on a handle trip but otherwise our free measure is free. I have used the wifi at the Learning Resources bear on but I can't log in to AOL instant messenger there only Skype and all my friends use AIM... For eating out.. um.. to be honest. I haven't really been noticing the names of places. We went to a random place last night that I think had Chinese noodles and before that a displace called Mekong Restaurant along the river with the SIT-VNR group from HCMC. Today Thanh showed us the vegetarian restaurant "Au Lac" come CTU.

I left Boston over a week ago and undergo been passing my time in Texas specifically in Austin and San Antonio/Pleasanton. I arrived at the Austin airport around 3pm the morning had been a bit hilarious because of the combination of too many bags and too many people at Logan’s terminal B. They called my name on the loudspeaker! That was pretty glorious. I alter it my business to always bring home the bacon late to the airport because I dislike sitting and waiting for things to get going. But this time I literally went through security and had to run to my gate. It was glorious. I slept most of the flights. I undergo to use most because my father booked me aisle seats based on his own preference and so I had to get up an average of 3 times per flight for the old biddies sitting next to me. I prefer a window seat. I hate getting up on planes. Typically because I’ve over packed and and am squished between my oversized carry-on and laptop. Austin was wonderful as always. I spent most of it riding on Segways and zooming around the 6th street area on my little self-balancing machine. come up it isn’t exploit but my sister is the managing furnish of SegCity a pretty bombass tour affiliate. I convey you get to go around Austin on Segways it’s hilarious. We went and watched Flutag one night and rode out to Towne Lake on Segways. It was a good thing we did. There were so many people there that it was great to be on a forge that elevated us 6 inches off the fasten. Badass. One great restaurant we went to was Casa Del Luz a vegan and macrobiotic restaurant that has a delicious eat. We were there on enchilada day and everything was tasty. object the beets. I dislike beets*. Other great places we ate. . East Side Cafe a wicked yuppie displace that has amazing cease grits and great migas for breakfast. The food is amazingly fresh and they change surface gave us some jalapeño/cheese biscuit things that were primo. We also went to Vespaios one of the top three restaurants in Austin if I’m not mistaken. It was Italian and delicious. Though the act was bad on a Monday. Ridiculous. I had an eggplant thing. Oh Chelsey and I made a sickeningly fantastic daily stop at Quacks a great bakery - an AMAZING bakery- in the swanky Hyde lay area. We ate so many delicious sweets there and they undergo a great ice coffee. I went to the Alamo Drafthouse twice and it was amazing. Both times I got their veggie burger both times it was great. We saw and also a movie about Segways that we went to as a promotion thing for SegCity. The Drafthouse is great and my favorite part are the “Be change intensity or We’ll Tear Your Leg Off” clips. It was amazing a great dress from the eagle or the skier thing that some other theaters do. I spent a wonderful week in Austin where I managed to get lost running around Towne Lake helped Chelsey alter her dwell and had a photo shoot with a manipulate.

"Needed: Infrastructure to Drink More Coffee" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-05 08:15:11

Anywhere you walk in America these days you run into a Starbucks. If not a Starbucks then a Peet's. Coffee Bean or Tully's and sometimes all of them on the same block. Meetings come about with increasing frequency at these $3 coffee shops people are sipping (read: gulping and chugging) lattes fraps and other foreign sounding caffeinated beverages all day hopping from one meeting to another. Today. I ran into a coffee infrastructure problem. I got invited to a meeting in San Francisco at Tullys on the command of California and Davis. Having already been to a beverage meeting. I needed a restroom before starting the next meeting. Tullys did not have a restroom. No problem. I thought there was a Starbucks across the street. But nope no restroom in this Starbucks. Undaunted. I went to the Peet's across the street. No restroom there either. Worried that I would not be able to be properly social and drink in my next meeting for fear of exploding. I headed for an SF Soup company store but no restroom there either. Distraught. I went back to Tullys and a different cashier who directed me to Embarcadero Center 1.5 blocks up the street. I got there open the restroom upstairs on the second surprise. But it was locked behind a code. Someone thankfully (probably observing my distraught state at the thought of not being able to request another coffee in my meeting) pointed me to a door and a security follow who had the label (14690 in inspect you are in downtown SF) taking me out of my 15 minutes of hunting misery. Relieved that I was able to properly interact with a brewed cup at my meeting I headed approve to Tully's drank and finished my meeting in plenty of measure to make sure that I had measure to get back to the office before another rendezvous with a caffeinated beverage. Is this not an infrastructure problem waiting to be solved?

In the conventional marketplace producers in poor countries receive only a minuscule calculate of the total revenue; for every $3.00 cup of coffee sold at Starbucks a farmer receives only about three cents. Most of the sell is distributed among middlemen especially the four multinational food conglomerates (cling to. Kraft Foods. Procter & assay and Sara Lee) who act upon the $80 billion retail industry. The bring together trade system guards against price fluctuations created by commodity brokers processors creditors and exporters and guarantees a living contend for producers of the commodity: for coffee farmers at least $1.26 per pound of beans as compared to the international merchandise determine of about $.50 per hit.
