Coffee with a straw

Electronic circuits

I have received an email from New Yorker K. who googled 'coffee with a straw' and found my post about coffee which mentions my inability to drink coffee through a coffee shop sipping lid without burning my palate/dribbling/staining my shirt, and therefore always stick a straw through it.

Not only did K. feel less isolated (she does not know anyone else who does that), but she also took the time to contact me to tell me she was impressed. It's just a nod of the head, the equivalent of a polite smile from a stranger on the train home from work.

And then they say technology drives people apart.
