Coffeehouse observation No. 69
I nearly forgot. At Exotic Java earlier, I overheard an animated, yet friendly, conversation about whether the coconut is a nut or a fruit. Fortunately, there is WiFi at Exotic Java and the participants were able to learn that a coconut is a fruit. A drupe, to be most accurate.

Coffeehouse observation No. 68
Overheard in Exotic Java today that it is located in what used to be a much larger tattoo parlor. The parlor is still there, next door. Also, I noticed that the mural – the one behind the counter with the image of a girl in Daisy Dukes and hot pink hair on a swing hanging from a tree – also has an image of a wizard. The word “tattoos” is woven several times in his long, white beard.
Also, the “Red Eye” is a nice pick-me-up.

Coffeehouse observation No. 67
Two days without coffee. How do people do this? How do they go without coffee? Or tea? Or caffeine of any kind? It’s just not human.

Looking for the Next Island Teacher, Part Two
I posted part one of Eva Murray’s blog on becoming an island teacher. Here is link to the second part. The signoff note at the end read: “Eva Murray submitted this to Down East before her deadline, in case the power went out overnight. It did.”
