    Between 1670 and 1685 coffee-houses multiplied in London, and attained some degree of political importance from the volume of talk which they caused. Each sect, party, or shade of fashion, had its meeting place of this sort, and London life grew more animated from the presence in its midst of public centers where witty conversation could be heard. When coffee-houses were still a novelty, they had their partisans and their opponents, who exchanged highly-spiced pamphlets in praise or condemnation of the bean and its patron.

    Good Morning To You, My Gentle Friends,

    I have been wandering around, just generally checking all of the Postings, and such . . .

    Forgive me, but I have noticed something rather, shall we say, politely, vexing . . .

    Everyone seems to have drifted away . . .

    I am sure that the Issues of Real Life are Most Pressing, and require Our Immedite Attention, which is to be expected . . .

    However, I do feel that we all need to return here from time to time, to rest, and refresh ourselves, and to replenish the soul, and such . . .

    Perhaps if we posted just a line or two as we pass by, just to offer a word of hello or encouragement - we all need encouragement, My Gentle Friends . . .

    Just Remember - It is Beautiful Day, and We All Need To Enjoy That!!! . . .

    Have A Most Splendiferous Morning . . . Forthwith . . .
