This surprises me: Coffee Drinking Linked to

a cup of coffee may be more than fleeting."

I want to learn to grow my own. Because, yanno, when the crash comes people will be jonesing for their caffeine.

Coffee is one of the most significant sources of anti-oxidants in the American diet. Moderate coffee consumption (less than 5 cups per day) is also linked to lower rates of Parkinson's. By THAT measure, I will NEVER get Parkinsons's!

Well, that's one thing Americans have talent in, strangely enough it seems almost innate rather than learned - we can grow just about anything, anywhere, hell folks can grow stuff in a friggin basement fer cryin out loud...

Of course, being hooked up with the local farmers is nice, since I am unlikely to ever want for coffee, tobacco or potatoes - and there's chicory but I dunno about caffiene content there.

Conversely they're unlikely to have non-functional equipment so long as I can find, build or modify parts.

I worry bout the cities, mostly - Detroit is progressing right along with secondary agri-enviro infrastructure, but they ain't there quite yet.

A team of Russian scientists managed to resurrect an entire plant in a pioneering experiment

"the study has demonstrated that tissue can survive ice conservation for tens of thousands of years, opening the way
to the possible resurrection of Ice Age mammals."

Thanks, Frem. "Aches on a Plane" was *woah!* edge of my seat.

This would make a good movie if they did it accurate, docudrama style. I am casting it now:

Captain Sanders Nathan Fillion
Captain Tucker Alan Tudyk
Andy Peterson Adam Baldwin
Auburn Calloway C. Ejiofor would be quite good at this; but I prefer Jamie Foxx
Center-Tower Gina Torres.

OK. I really didn't expect everyone to jump up & discuss the sub-awesome news that coffee is a mood elevator.

What I'd like is a thread where we all post links to interesting stories we've read lately. They should not be
"important," dire, world-impact & the like. Controversial -- nah. Just stuff that was fun, weird, unusual, good ...
heart-warming is ok, new news ... Sharable news bits & articles that are worth a comment or two.
