Wow. Humans are just where we need them to be — And so smart!
Geothermal Apartment Complex — wow.
The good cup— wow.
I never have coffee to go. It’s just not something I do. The coffee I drink is always in a mug. Be it at home or at coffee shops. Therefore I’ve never seen those cups you talk about here. But now that I know I’ll be on the look out. This is stellar. I love this. Thanks for sharing this bit of good news. Love it all. Xoxo
