My friend and I were passing through Sterling when we saw the road jaws in the street. Zig-zagged lanes for a brief stretch in the road, before everything went back to normal. Naturally, this elicited a WTF reaction from me.
Was this the result of a drunk lane striper? Was it trying to scare drivers for some reason? All I knew is that it felt like the lanes were trying to eat us, and that we needed to get the fuck out of those lanes as soon as humanly possible.
In this photograph are 243 empty tall cups of Starbucks coffee. This has accumulated in about roughly a year’s worth of weekdays in which I went to work and had a coffee in the morning. This excludes any day in which I redeemed my frequent-buyer free drinks, in which I’d get the venti-sized of something way more expensive and potent than a single tall cup of drip coffee.
But the point is, 243 cups of coffee equates to roughly $432.54, and this is over the span of a year, give or take a month.
Recently, Starbucks released a limited edition steel Starbucks card, complete with laser etched artwork. It cost $450 to get one, which sounds worse than it is, because it comes pre-loaded with $400, which means that you’re essentially paying $50 for a steel card. I don’t often know what I ever want, but I felt a very strong compulsion to getting one of these steel cards.
