JUST Coffee

Everybody is talking about Yelich, as they should. It's not often you follow an MVP year with a BETTER year. I mean geez - he is on pace to hit 59 home runs.  BUT WAIT! Moustakas is on pace to hit 50 home runs.  BUT WAIT!  Grendal is having a career year with a .937 OPS.  In fact not counting the first 4 games of the year Grendal has not gone 2 games in a row without getting on base.

Then there is Arcia who is having a career year at the plate which for one of the better fielding short stops that will take away 50 bases a year compared to an average SS,  is fantastic.

SO - without Cain, Aguilar and Shaw who are reverting back to the every other year norm the Brewers offense is REALLY good.

I still do not see the Cubs lasting the entire marathon. They are VERY thin in pitching and have yet another stupid long term expensive contract for their new closer.  Kimbrel is worth maybe 1 win over a year and maybe that is worth $10 million but that won't put them over the top as they are basically a .500 team in my view.   I fear St. Louis more and they are 4 games back.

Some Golfers Step Up On Major Sundays. And Then There’s Dustin Johnson.

Only one other golfer is as bad as Dustin Johnson in a major in the final round, and it's Tiger Woods.   Not saying they play poorly but compared to other golfers who step up their game in a Major Tiger and Dustin have the biggest let down in the 4th round of Majors.

For instance - Johnson will golf 1.7 better then the group in the 4th round of a non-major.  But only 1.07 in the 4th round of a Major.

Brooks Koepka on the other hand is 1.25 strokes better in the 4th round in non-majors but 2.33 better in a Major.

OH - as I was watching the Brewers late last night I was playing a league game in SOM against a HORRIBLE team and for the first time in my life I had a pitcher not only throw a no-hitter . . . . but a perfect game.     

Zack Godley who is having a great a year as much as Yelich is having a "poor" year for me. I guess it all evens out somewhere.

In the 6th inning I knew there were no hits but . . walks??  I did not remember any . . but . . do I LOOK?  Do I change things up?  Will this screw up the random number generator which I swear is broken for Yelich?

I did.  NO WALKS  OMG   I'm winning 8-0 so normally I sit Trout and a few other good fielders as they do not have enough At Bats to play every game in a year. . . .but now??   The last 4 outs of the game went to 3 of my 4 Gold Glove winners. 

I had a silent scream of joy at 11:17 last night.

Things are moving along with the CWCC - tee-shirts are about to be ordered

OK - hold on to your seats and think about this one.

You go to breakfast and order a couple eggs right? Easy side up? scrambled?

WHAT IF - you order two eggs . . . one scrambled and one over medium . . . . have you EVER done that? Order two different eggs?  and if not . .why not?

Have you ever even thought of doing that?  Now that you have thought of it, would this be a good thing?   Would this be like a ham sandwich with pork on top?  Does anybody WANT two different eggs?   

food for thought.

Guatemala is one of the regions biggest countries with migrants looking for work and it's all about coffee.  The typical small coffee grower gets 89 cents per pound of coffee, down from $2.20 in 2015.  It costs about $1.93 per pound to produce coffee.  Thus, many coffee growers are going belly up and looking for work.

Guatemalan immigrants are the #1 group being stopped at our borders.

I buy JUST Coffee for several reason. One cool thing is you can trace the beans you are drinking to the exact farmer where the beans were purchased AND see the exact price JUST coffee paid for their beans.  I'm drinking BIKE FUEL which they paid $2.43 per pound and they paid a total of about $101,000 to this farmer who I see was in Guatemala.

Every package has a code you can type in to see the contracts.

JUST coffee was a bunch of hippies that were on vacation in Mexico and came across some coffee farmers. They made friends with some hippie farmer and after a few bowls of cannabis they learned the coffee industry was robbing them.

They came back to Madison with a roaster hobby and after visit the farmers market became “reluctant entrepreneurs” and now have 30 people in their company and buy coffee all over the world and life sustainable prices for the farmers.

a 12oz bag of beans is about $10 but that price helps sustain small farmers.

People say they would pay more for a McCheese burger if they paid  a living wage of say $15.  Well, here ya go. same thing.

Heck - you can even see which ship the coffee was transported on, the TIGER 82JS with 275 bags.

I LOVE these guys!
