9000 Pots of Coffee
9000 pots of coffee. If a man's life were measured in pots of coffee I guess 9000 is about what I would be. When I started drinking coffee they said it was bad for me.

It is unofficial end of summer and the highway through town will be jammed with cars and pickups pulling camper trailers.
