sweet maria's

I'm about to place a Sweet Maria's order. Shipping is flat rate up to 20 lbs and there's no way even we fiends at UDL can drink that much coffee before it goes stale. Anyone want to go in with me?

First good rain of the season was enough to wash the salt and much of the silt off the center of the road to where the street sweepers will get it when they start, which is Wednesday. By the 15th they will have made a full cycle, and the after the next good rain (to get what they miss) it will be time to bring out the Ciocc again. Meanwhile the tulips are up and the daffodils are about to bloom. Here's hoping any more snow we get is minor.
