I'm planning on putting an "Out of Order" sign on the coffee machine 
near my cubicle.  My revenge on all the morons who take 20 minutes to 
get a cup of coffee (1 minute to pour it and then 19 minutes of yacking 
and yucking it up with other coffee people).

Nobody uses a coffee machine these days ... they all go down the road
to the coffee shop and pay five times the price for a coffee in a
plastic / polsytrene / eco-degradable cup.

Speak for yourself. I grind my own beans and brew my own espresso.

Grinding and roasting ... what a pair of lazies, you should be growing
your own coffee beans first.  ;-)

You should also be growing your own sugar cane, keeping your own cows
for the milk, and collecting rain water. Completely self-sufficient
coffee making ... and then there's the biscuits / cookies ...  ;-)

In my case, I'd be growing almond trees rather than raising cows.

For us Californians both beef and almonds are a little too water 
intensive to be thought of as viable in these times of drought.
All over California the beef herds are being thinned out, and feed lots 
mothballed. Almond groves are also being thinned out. So almond prices 
are going up, and there is plenty of almond firewood on the market.

I'm hoping the climate will be right for almonds up north here. : )

At least you'll have the resources to roast the coffee beans ... even
if you do then have to eat the ground beans raw, without any water or
milk.  ;-)

What rain water?
Rain around here has been sparse. For this rain season we have received 
less than 10% of the anticipated average, and my pontoon boat has been 
parked in my driveway for the last 2 years.

From 1999 to 2006, I lived in Butte County, between Oroville and Berry 
Creek. To get from Oroville to home, I needed to cross a roughly 1 mile 
long suspension bridge over the so-called "Middle Fork" of the Feather 
River - upstream from the Oroville dam. When I was there, all but about 
a hundred feet or so of the bridge was over water for most of the year. 
Usually the water was only about 30 feet or so below the bridge deck.

Recently (tail end of february or so) I saw an article about how bad the 
California drought is. Accompanying the article was an aerial photo 
showing that bridge I used to cross. The only visible water in the 
picture was what appeared to be about a 10, maybe 20 foot wide creek 
almost centered under the bridge. *WAY* under the bridge. Which tells me 
Lake Oroville has to be all but *GONE*.

Yup! I live at Lake Nacimiento, West of Paso Robles, and that is down 
to 18%. Our local launch ramp is high and dry as are our docks and 
slips.
