Out there, payment is made with Star Bucks.

Should be a Dollar General. ;-)

Very uniform craters!

There is a Starbucks and Dollar General on this side of the camera, too.

That’s one Small step for man…One Giant Leap for coffee drinkers.

Where else are all of the space billionaires going to get their coffee?

Yo… order me a Grande, quad, nonfat, half double decaffeinated, half caf, nonfat, one-pump, no whip, mocha triple, venti, half sweet, non-fat, Caramel Macchiato…

… and see if their Wi-Fi’s working?

Is this where Bleeb came from?

I look forward to the day I can get a good cup of coffee anywhere in the solar system. When that day comes, I’m pretty sure it won’t be a Starbucks.

Next there’ll be a Walmart, McDonald’s, Amazon warehouse……

They’re everywhere, they’re everywhere….

One of these days, Alice….

It is better than a McDonald’s.

I don’t drink coffee, just can’t tolerate the taste. But I’ve had their highly overpriced hot chocolate and don’t really see what all the hubbub is about.

But the other day I drove by a Starbuck’s and a line of about 25 cars was there at the drive up window. For $5 coffee.

I just don’t get it, it’s freaking coffee. Or tea. Or Hot Chocolate. I mean is it really that good? Or, are people just wanting to walk around with a Starbuck’s cup to show off like they would with a Gucci purse.

Just honestly looking for someone to explain it to me. Most of my friends don’t care for it either.

Won’t it be nice when we have moon landers that don’t hearken back 50 years?

See Non Sequitur today !

I usually brew various herbal teas at home; (at this point, caffeine just makes me edgy and nervous) but now & then’ if the mood hits, I’ll hit the gas/convenience store on the way to town. 1$ cup of coffee, any size, and they have about six urns of variants (half decaf or more for me) Now the point of this rambling tale- several years ago, a guy built a little free standing drive-thru coffee shack a couple hundred yards west. Real nice fellow,(now former customer of mine since I’ve retired). It’s a small community here and I go out of my way to buy local, even if the price is a little higher, but I just can’t justify a 5 vs. 1$ buck cup.

Unless he’s really hidden, no Bleeb… I,m thinking these other green guys (girls?) were just to snooty for him? (Hell’ that’s how I’d react)

And McDonald’s is on the back side…

It has such great atmosphere!

And there’s another Starbucks inside.

Ah Starbucks Coffee Burnt to Perfection with the Modeler Rocket Engines.

Shouldn’t be……

That’s their headquarters.

Why is it called Starbucks? Shouldn’t it be Moonbucks in this situation?

I’m surprised they also didn’t find a Dollar General Store.

I went in one once and got so confused that I ordered an Al Pacino
