Rain pounded the window all night. Streaks of lightning and the attendant thunder kept me awake.
Here in Amarillo they need rain. I need coffee.
I get up. I dress. I drive to Palace Coffee downtown. They're closed.
I drive to the convenience market on 10th. They have bad coffee. I consider, then move on.
I drive to Roast Coffee on Georgia. They're open. I get a cortado and a large coffee.
I like a good cup of coffee.
