It might even be seen as a sign of maturity.   This would be true, unless you live in the sleepy little town of Vassalboro, Maine.  Apparently, a local businessman has plans to <a href=\"http:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/s\/ap\/20090105\/ap_on_fe_st\/odd_topless_coffee_shop\">open a topless coffee shop there<\/a>.  Minimally, this gives new meaning to the question, &#8220;Cream &amp; sugar?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And maybe as a sign that I&#8217;m getting old myself, what I&#8217;m curious about is how one staffs a topless coffee shop in a small town.  It would be one thing to work at a topless joint in a city and then kind of blend back in to urban anonymity at the end of the day.  But in a small town, everyone knows your name.   Your patrons will be the guy who taught you 7th grade history, the plumber who was at your parents&#8217; house last week, and the shelf stocker at the Quickie-mart.  That has to be more than a little odd.<\/p>\n<p>On a related note, comes news that the economy is heavily <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nydailynews.com\/lifestyle\/health\/2009\/01\/04\/2009-01-04_demand_deflates_for_dds-1.html\">impacting the bigger boob<\/a> business.  Apparently food, clothing, and shelter take priority over Double D&#8217;s.   I wonder if the coffee shop guy figured that into his business plan?<\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\">\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\">Brought to you by Tim&#8230;<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.timscogitorium.com\/tinblog\/\">-Read the whole blog here-<\/a><\/span><\/h6>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ordinarily, you&#8217;d think your lady might be relieved that your habit of sloshing beer with the boys after work had<\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\"><a href=\"https:\/\/timscogitorium.com\/tinblog\/2009\/01\/honey-im-just-stopping-for-coffee.html\" title=\"Read Honey, I&#8217;m Just Stopping for Coffee\">Read more &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-946","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/timscogitorium.com\/tinblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/946","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/timscogitorium.com\/tinblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/timscogitorium.com\/tinblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timscogitorium.com\/tinblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timscogitorium.com\/tinblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=946"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/timscogitorium.com\/tinblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/946\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/timscogitorium.com\/tinblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=946"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timscogitorium.com\/tinblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=946"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timscogitorium.com\/tinblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=946"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
