Top of the morning…


Under this rooster is Jim’s Coffee Shop, a bona fide Boise institution. For some colorful info about Jim’s, check out this.

Over second and third cups flow matters of high finance, high state, common gossip and low comedy. [Coffee] is a social binder, a warmer of tongues, a soberer of minds, a stimulant of wit, a foiler of sleep if you want it so. From roadside mugs to the classic demitasse, it is the perfect democrat.

Love the quotes. And the rooster reminds me of something in my youth that I can't put a finger on.

Interesting isn't it how our memories work. I know I remember it, but I don't know what it is -- apparently I remember something I don't remember.

Hi Linda,
Glad you enjoyed Jim's rooster. It reminds me of my childhood, too. The Redi-Kilowatt Man, Babe the Blue Ox, Mr. Peanut; some of those characters I saw during family trips.
Your saying about remembering hits the mark :>)
Thanks for stopping by.

Love the rooster! Easy to find Jim's from far away.

It's true; it is easy to find Jim's, even if you're half asleep!
