The Variety pack

I do like coffee. My Sherry LOVES coffee. She is the connoisseur.  Fast food coffee she prefers McD’s reg. We stop at Star bucks at times to pay a couple dollars for a cup There was a StarBucks in Durham at the Hospital. Sherry wanted a White Chocolate Carmel. I ordered it and let the server decide all the questions, $6.50.  We don’t do that often.
I found a coffee company, ‘Holy Cow Coffee Company’, once a year I order a few pounds. Great stuff.  Friend ‘Louis’ (a penname), owns the company.
Me? Hey, I lived for years on US Navy mid watch coffee,  black and hot, Age doesn’t matter, that’s OK.  
Shoes? Do you own any lace-up shoes that you tie and untie?  I don’t anymore. But I do actually have a pair of leather shoes that require polish. (I sneak furniture polish on them) My USMC DI would have murdered me. LOL
I have to admit that these flip-flop design shoes are common sense, but I don’t like them. They actually make me think of my military shower shoes. They also hurt me  between the toes.
I prefer jeans to slacks, year round. I am getting upset at the manufacturers because the jeans are getting like women’s panty hose, 40 different styles, colors and sizes. Boot leg, skinny legs, bell bottoms, relaxed fit, etc. I get lost.
I mistakenly bought a pair of Lo-Riders on sale for $5. They are miserable and the zipper is only 3” long. I gave them away.
But what is there not variety in now-a-days? Shucks you can find Shouting Baptists. LOL.
I once built agreed to build a house for Mr. Shipp of Mt. Holly. No matter what I asked him material wise, his answer was, I want just ordinary shingles, siding brick, paint what ever I said he would say, I just want what ever is ordinary.
It was frustrating, he was a great guy, and probably meant he did not care, but I could not take the chance. Brick? “Mr Shipp there are no ordinary brick. Let me show you some samples.”
NOPE.  So I did get ‘a’ standard red brick I picked a color, and showed him. “That is good use that.”
He only wanted one thing out of his old house we were to tear down, the Mantel, his daddy had hand  made. He didn’t care where we put it in his house, he said, “YOU pick the best place.”
He was so easy to build for it was frustrating. But he was a great guy. He did not like variety.
