Starbucks Is Closing 600 Shops
Can you believe the once darling of the left crowd is closing 600 stores. Not only that, but 12,000 people are losing their jobs. Why? Because the stores are either under performing or are not anticipated meet profit expectations.
The pundits are saying that Starbucks built too many coffee shops and they built them too close together. Not to mention that there is too much competition with other outlets like McDonald’s. Yep,you heard it right, the pundits are saying that people are starting to go get their coffee at McDonald’s instead of Starbucks.
I guess the real reason is that in this economy, $4 coffee is an unnecessary luxury.

I like Cheese
I like cheese a lot, in fact, I love cheese. Didn’t Tom T Hall write a song about the love of cheese before? If I recall right, it went something like this:
“I like cheese, it makes a jolly good fellow. I like cheese, it helps me unwind and makes me feel mellow.”
There are so many different varieties of cheese, Mozarella, Cheddar, American, Oaxaca, Monterey Jack, the varieties of great tasting cheese is almost limitless. I really think there is a cheese for every mood.
Cheese is one thing that teachers in Thailand find it difficult to buy. Thai people seem to have an aversion to cheese, they think it makes them fat. No worries, just more cheese for the rest of us around the world.
Pass me the spray Cheese, I want to fill my mouth with the good stuff.
