I don't often post major accomplishments or awards. This one means something to me.

I enjoy talking about coffee and coffee related topics. I do the thing where I find information and help protect companies from bad things happening.
Story time with John:
I live at the end of street in a suburb. It's a cul-de-sac so I have many neighbors. We have one neighbor who by all accounts is a class A asshole. His biggest failing is how he yells at his kids.
Anyways...
My wife tells me this story after she took a walk. She walks past the asshole who is under his car doing whatever. Someone with a dog was coming in the opposite direction on the sidewalk. The dog, friendly as friendly could be, is all smiles. The owner and the dog allow my wife to pet the dog. It's a nice neighborhood interaction.
She finishes the story like this. "And when the lady and her dog pass the guy under his car, the dog starts barking at him."
Here is a dog to illustrate what I hope is dog friendliness. I stole it from www.weratedogs.com.
I have a Brazilian coworker. His grasp of English is amazing. I would have to put in a bunch of work to learn Portuguese. So, high commendation there.
He mentioned getting a new puppy and the work involved in making sure it doesn't hurt itself or whatever.
As part of general cultural exchanges, we share various language and culture idioms. "We'll burn that bridge when we get to it" spawned a long conversation. I say to him that here in the US we have a tradition. That tradition is when someone gets a new puppy, they have to share a picture of it. It's called the Puppy Tax.
He then shares a picture. Today, he learned the meaning of the word "kitten".
Evidence shared below.

We used to have like 5 sets of these shakers. We had to get rid of them. Every time we sat down for dinner, the cats would come running.
