Yes! Shouldn’t your parents tell you before you come home from school???

Yah, I was about to mention ego being very much involved in all of this from the purchase of the “truck” to feeling spurned by not being asked to help. My ego would be hard-pressed to avoid educating him. Politely, of course.

LOL. I have a truck for towing and other truck-related things and am quite happy to help others with aforementioned truck activities when asked. The amount of times I get upset when people don’t call me to do truck things is like, hmmmm let’s see…zero. It is zero times. A shrug is all I might manage to evoke from the drama.

5calls.org will list the local regional office numbers as well. Agreed that if you can show up in person, that’s best.

Call your representatives and tell them to push back! I know many won’t listen, but don’t let that stop you.

Yes, I already have some SB and will likely bring it, but I was hoping for other suggestions. I appreciate your link to Mr Hoffman and I enjoyed the video. Ultimately, I found a brand called Black Coffee Roasting Company. I’ll bring those and the SB on the trip. Thank you again.

BTW, I normally drink Dillanos. Their double-French roast is one of the best coffees I’ve had. I don’t drink SB much anymore.

Can you (or others) please provide a couple examples of good instant? I am completely serious. I have a trip coming up where the coffee might be terrible or non-existent. I’d like to bring some [quality] instant just in case.
