Local coffee support :)

I'm back at home briefly this week, before heading up to the Arctic tomorrow. I stopped this morning at our neighborhood Starbucks... the barista asked "your usual?" and I nodded. Then added that they wouldn't see me again until mid-August, and explained (when asked) that I was with NASA and going to test automated drills in a frozen impact crater at 75N. The crew wished me luck... and comped me my beverage and my breakfast sandwich. :)

Awwwwww :-) They like you.

I remember once I went in to pick up stuff to bring to you folks at home, and when I placed the order, the barista said, "Ah! You're getting stuff for Jay and Pat!" So they know you two by your drink preferences even when you aren't present in person :-)

They know my name, and my drink... that counts for a lot.
