I, too, shop for the sales, but nowadays I am a coffee snob (thanks to a

save money by not needing to adulterate the elixir of enlightenment with
cream and sugar, etc.
It's rather an expensive habit, and probably qualifies as an addiction, but
then as I get older, I have fewer and fewer dependable pleasures, so by that
measure it's cheap. It also goes well with reading, and a good book is a
friend for life.

much better for filling the Mr. Coffee for another 12 cups of Gods

I've been known to have 4 of the big cans on top of the fridge, buying it
when its on sale at under 7 dollars a can. Wouldn't want to run out
between sales now would we?

The Trinity users list is becoming my entire social life. I also
wonder if maybe this is not healthy. On the other hand, fewer and
fewer people "out there" seem to be really sane; and when I must use
their computers, this worries me even more.
When I was mostly offline for a few days, trying to migrate from
Debian to Devuan, I got 44 emails, of which 43 were from the TDE
mailing list.
Tomorrow, at any rate, I shall try to make it downstairs, past the
front desk, beyond the ice machine, and to go outdoors, maybe even
as far as the library and the farmers market. Also, I need coffee.
Probably the caffein withdrawal is what makes real trouble :-) (just
conted: 4 kg coffee left *phiew*)
