can there be minis outside of starbucks?
i'm sitting at my coffee shop--yes, it's my own, personal coffee shop. beautiful day for it, by the way. i just saw someone leave the coffee shop and get into a mini. and i felt like i knew the sum total of this person. he leaves an independent coffee shop in this neighborhood--an eclectic neighborhood with lots of students (esp. grad students), young families, yuppies, families that have been here for a long long time, black, white, hispanic. he gets into a mini--every europhiles dream car. and he drives away and i know him.
i'd like to propose that someone who drives a mini wouldn't be found at a starbucks. but maybe i'm wrong. maybe minis have joined mass americana. dostoevsky says that psychology is a two-ended stick. maybe that applies to minis and coffee shops, too.

My guess is a mini is about the only thing people here would drive to Starbucks. After paying $8 for a gallon of gas, they can't afford to drive anything bigger and still spend $4.50 on a coffee.
Also, I'm a bit thick tonight...two-ended stick?
ok, fair enough.
two-ended stick... i think he's saying that you can grab it by either end to beat someone over the head. one psychologist analyzes the case one way and comes up with a guilty verdict. another psychologist analyzes the case another way and comes up with innocent.
nice to see you here.
Thanks.
And thanks for affirming my presence. It's good to be around.
Dostoevsky is over-rated.
I get it! I get it! You are "loved"!
but I definitely don't get it about the minis and the Starbucks
I think the real problem is there isn't enough room in the car for a cupholder.
Hi Michelle!
hey jeremy!
question: is it cheaper to power a car with petrol or with starbucks coffee?
