Generally, I cannot stand receiving emails which have been forwarded 100 times around the world. Generally, I simply delete them without reading them. Today, however, I received an email from a friend which some of the most beautiful imagery from some of the most amazing places I’ve ever seen.

K-Cups are those fancy little plastic doses of coffee you stick into any Keurig machine and press a button for instant single-serve coffee, hot cocoa and a variety of hot beverages. For those who didn’t know, Keurig pretty much was going out of business, and they were bought up by a company called Green Mountain Roasters, who produced coffee in k-cup formats. Then, they proceeded to buy up all the K-cup licensees – wringing every last drop out of the consumers while their patent, on k-cups, is valid. Oh yea, it expires in 2012 sometime.
