Agreed. But man, those are some butt ugly buildings.

Maybe they're nicer on the inside.

But it's a neat way to play shadows and perspective.

Cpl Thomas Ellis- “The Weary Marine” photographed during the Battle of Saipan. He was later killed in action during the Battle of Iwo Jima in 1945







As Baker Company attempted to advance on D-plus-13, a fortified position manned by determined Japanese troops opened fire, stopping the forward movement. Corporal Underwood took charge of the situation, deploying his under-strength squad for an attack on the enemy. As he did, a Japanese bullet struck and shattered his carbine in his hands. “Undaunted by this narrow escape, he picked up a Browning Automatic Rifle and continued to lead his men in a successful assault,” recalled a battalion officer. This valorous act would be his last. A shell fragment tore into his back, and Thomas Ellis Underwood’s life ended on 4 March 1945. He was twenty-two years old.

Two cup timer at the nursing station. Not that it really matters as you end-up nuking your coffee several times until it turns into transmission sludge.

That point is known as perfection in multi user facilities. An extra dash of milk/creamer/sweetener of your choice, and just get on with it.

I used to work with a Scandinavian guy who was the self-appointed coffee maker. He would have the coffee ready by the time everyone else arrived in the morning. He always brewed too much. There would almost always be three or four cups left in the pot way past lunch. At least once a week around 2:30 or 3:00 he would ask around if anyone wanted any more coffee. Of course nobody did because it was nearly asphalt by that time after sitting on the heat all day. He would then take the pot and pour the remaining coffee into the water tank and run it through the old coffee grounds again. The paste that came out of that poor coffee maker was absolutely disgusting and he loved it.
Now I don't like the smell of coffee at the best of times (I've never had a cup of coffee, ever) but the smell of his twice-brewed tar would turn my stomach. It was next level bad.

When I think of some of the rot gut coffee I've drunk over the years, I'm afraid sometimes I haven't been too picky.

This picture looks very ordinary but it's made of 365 slices of pictures taken one a day.

I admit it. I am coffeeholic and always have been. Second thing I do after waking up. First I feed the cats. I drink it all day long, then switch to tea at night. Now that I am retired and home a lot I get to drink the brew of my choice, but yeah, over the years I have choked down some really bad stuff out of sheer desperation.

The one thing that I have refused to touch over the years is chicory. The Navy served this exclusively aboard ship, and no one ever drank the stuff. Every shop aboard ship stocked up on real honest to God coffee before sailing, and no matter where you went coffee was available 24 hours a day. It might have been good - it might have been blah, but by God it was coffee and at least tolerable.

Is there a cool coffee pic or did you mean to post this in a different thread?

And I drank coffee and chicory for years and enjoyed it but definitely an acquired taste. Don’t drink it much anymore but I find coffees to be like slightly stronger tea…
