Coffee is interesting on many levels. I really like coffee, but I wonder if that is a good thing sometimes. It takes time and money to like coffee. It takes even more time and money to LOVE coffee. I think maybe if you don't like coffee you should be good with that. If you love coffee that should be just fine too. This is a video (around 30 minutes) of a "coffee person" introducing coffee to a someone who says, "I haven't really tasted coffee since I was a kid."

Wow, I was hanging onto that guy’s every word in the video.

Just remembered this video of what the Titanic was like sinking in real time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGKpT1oGAnQ

(Don’t expect you to watch it, it’s so long) Imagining the reality of what it was like in complete darkness is so terrifying!

“It makes me wonder how our perception of events in the past would change if we could hear about them directly from those who lived them.” I think about this a lot like with the Holocaust. Having heard stories directly from survivors in middle and high school is something I’m always so grateful for. When people aren’t around to tell their version of history it changes everything.
