Sammy's new job
I used to be something of a coffee snob. Not over the top, but I've
always enjoyed fresh ground beans, and have a expresso machine. Once I started the landscaping business, I've really cut back on caffeine, as it doesn't mix well with our hot Oklahoma summers when working outdoors. With the coming of cold weather, I broke out the expresso machine the other day. Sammy, as our local Head of the Water Dept., promptly took on the job of supervising the use of the machine. She makes sure that the water makes it down into the tank whenever I fill it, watching it being poured in the back of the machine and makes it way down into the see-through tank. Once the water is in, she watches for the light to come on indicating that everything is ready. My favorite is cappucino, so she has to supervice the frothing process. She's none to sure about the noise, so she backs up and stands under my arm, watching the froth rise up in the cup. At that point she trusts me to finish making the coffee. Her job, so she's been telling me, is to do a taste test of the milk before I spoil it by adding the evil black liquid. The few times I let her have a taste she's been disappointed that it was mainly bubbles, not, nearly as good as the milk she gets from the Cherrios bowl. So far, she's still insisting on the test, though, in hopes that someday I'll get it right ;-) -- Steve Touchstone, faithful servant of Sammy, Little Bit and Rocky [remove Junk for email] http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/index.html |

"Steve Touchstone" wrote SNIP Sammy, as our local Head of the Water Dept., promptly took on the job of supervising the use of the machine. SNIP Sid used to be our HotWD, but since his passing, the water situation in our house can get downright sad. He used to warn us, LOUDLY, when the water was out. Now the kitties just go without water when the slaves don't notice right away that it's empty. Tell Sammy to beam some water supervising instructions over to one of my cats, will ya? Stacey |
