I don’t have many “yuppie” affectations.<\/p>\n
One of them I’ll cop to is beer.\u00a0 I didn’t really start drinking seriously until I went to Europe.\u00a0 I developed a taste for good beer before I developed a tolerance for crummy beer.\u00a0 So ever since then, generally, when given a choice between a case of Budweiser and a six-pack of something really, really good for the same price, I’ll take the good beer and drink nice and slow.<\/p>\n
Coffee is another.\u00a0 I never drank coffee – not even when I worked graveyard shift radio (Mountain Dew provided my caffeine back then).\u00a0 Then I got married to a coffee drinker, and lived across from a Dunn Brothers.\u00a0 And…wow.\u00a0 Just…wow.<\/p>\n
So to this day, I’ll squeedge out two bucks for a large DunnBros, if I need it.<\/p>\n
Takeaway; I can see the point behind some of the “hoity toidy” obsessions some of us have.\u00a0 I can justify <\/em>liking the “good stuff” rather than choking down the crummy stuff, when one has it as a responsible option.<\/p>\n
