I'm really curious as to what you ended up drinking. Did they apologize for the mixup? Maya -- It really has been rather gloomy up here, weatherwise, though it was nicer today. Apparantly, it's really been raining a lot recently, so perhaps people are even less smiley here than usual...

It seems like you're enjoying your stay in SF...except the fact that people don't smile as much as socal ones ;-) It's the fog! we blame it all on the fog...kidding. Let's hear more Sbx challenge successes...

When I asked for fair trade was met by blank look. Person taking my order then asked a couple of people who weren't really sure, eventually a manager-type came out to ask me I wanted a French Press. I said no I wanted Free Trade coffee though I understand you probably have to French Press it (between orderee and the manager the message was confused as my wanting a French Press ['Free Trade' being ommitted]). She said they were out of it but for some reason they had already started the French Press machine with some other coffee and I had already paid for it so that's what I got. It was amusing, it really wasn't a simple process at all for all this to go down. Hi Siel,
