Todays Libation is Ethiopian Harrar.
Raspberry-like aromas and rich

Harvested in the region of the original source of Arabica coffee.
Shade grown. A cup for the true coffee romantic.

Many of you will recall that on July 8, 1947, witnesses claimed that an unidentified object, with five aliens aboard, crashed onto a sheep and cattle ranch just outside Roswell , New Mexico .

This is a well documented incident that has long been covered up by the U.S. Air Force, and the federal government. However, you may NOT know that in the month of March 1948, exactly nine months after that historic day:

George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfield, Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, Condolezza Rice, and Dan Quayle were all born.
See what happens when aliens breed with sheep.
This information should clear up a lot of things.
