Sunday At The Market To Gorge: JPL Expert Fuelish On THIS Coffee

Coffee Drinkers Don't Get Their Kicks Browsing For A Really Good Rev-Up Essential - A Tip From A Mars Orbiter Engineer said: "Find Oscar!"

The vendor who launched me in the direction of "Oscar's FRESH Hand Roasted Premium Quality Coffee" did the engineering on all the Space Shuttle Flights, when, at the moment the attached two solid rocket boosters are spent, he calibrated the explosive force, positioning, and timing, as they are propelled outward, safely away from the climbing orbiter vehicle, in a manner that made them recoverable and reusable.

I sense he knows how to assess octane as an all-purpose energy force, and more importantly, as a techie, he understands the nuances of a process in which one must make precise calculations not to over-roast the essential payload- when "just perfect" is a scientific specificity, with finite measurements. (I plan on doing a story about him for PATCH, so faithful readers, keep the faith,) Java lovers among you, and/or Friends of Jolting Joes And Josephinas, make haste for Oscar's, as in, a non-caffeinated "normal stressed out" trot-like walk.

Oscar makes no secret- of what makes his Colombian Dark and Medium roasted beans, the only two that he sells, as his personal best:

“Simply Fresh," and always Colombian. That’s the essence of his and this story but hardly ever the end. This last customer, before closing time already had past, seemed to agree with JPL- a perfect touch down as a tasty, thirst quenching beverage.

I am not providing a menu of what you do after Oscar does what he does so well, re: sugar, et al, milks and creams, with all sorts of what some call fru fru flavorings- not to mention fatty content counters-who ARE you people, anyway? You always look svelte or better, to me.

Oscar's assistant, Edson, didn't clarify the meaning of the clasped pair of hands on his tee shirt, either he was praying, he wouldn't clumsily spill coffee on me or anyone, one person's piping hot, is another one's scalding (doubtful in spill proof containers,) or perhaps he was scolding me silently, as if praying I wouldn't stick around for too much longer-but please- don't nod your heads, in agreement, as if, "Amen to that." It was a late, great tip- I was on my way out, anyway, in a matter of moments, but before I make a mockery of haste, I leave you Hollywood types to ponder....

"Coffee Oscar?”
