So Excited! I finally ordered my GSI Outdoor French Press Travel Mug!

I mentioned in a previous post this mug was on my 'wish list' to purchase sometime. Well, yesterday was the day! I'm getting a 'camping' bug and I'm thinking about heading out with my 2 dogs and doing some tent camping. However, I want it to be as simple as possible. Camping with the whole family is much more involved than taking off on my own. I'm ready to reduce everything I need to one pack so the idea of putting a ziploc baggy of fresh ground coffee inside this mug to travel and then simply heating the water over a campfire and brewing in this cup is exciting!

I opted for the 30 oz. size for now, which will give me about 3 cups of morning coffee. That's about right! If I love it, I will probably buy a second for my emergency preps (or on the off-chance I can convince or guilt my husband into camping with me). He can have his own... sharing hot, strong, fresh coffee is similar to sharing your bacon. It's really hard to do!

Review to come after it arrives and I give it a test!

It's Just the Coffee Talking

Chatting over morning coffee around the kitchen table since 2004.

Previously full of stories of Mommyhood and Mayhem of humorous family life - the kids are older and life isn't at the same crazy yet hilarious pace it was then. As my kids get older and start to leave the nest, life is quieter and I have more time to enjoy the coffee.

Currently blogging more about the news, dogs, coffee and coffee reviews as well as a little bit of rambling about emergency preparedness, food storage and other gear. I post what I feel like posting... if I tend to go on a little bit, don't mind me, it's just the coffee talking.

What Americans Must Know About Socialism

A 2016 Harvard poll determined that 33 percent of Americans under 30 wanted socialism. In January 2016, YouGov asked millennials whether they had a favorable or unfavorable opinion of socialism. Eight percent replied “very favorable,” 35 percent “somewhat favorable,” for a total of 43 percent, almost the same percentage as in their 2017 survey.

But would these same millennials choose socialism, if in exchange for “free” education and “free” health care, they would have to give up their personal property, such as their iPhone? Would seven percent of millennials declare their willingness to live under communism if they knew the real costs of communism as practiced in some 40 nations over the past century — the denial of free speech, a free press, and free assembly, the imprisonment and execution of dissidents, no free and open elections, no independent judiciary or rule of law, the dictatorship of the Communist Party in all matters and on all occasions?
