A proper copper coffee pot
Carrie Fisher, from Wishful Drinking:
All I want is a proper cup of coffee,
Made in a proper copper coffee pot
I may be off my dot
But I want a cup of coffee
From a proper coffee pot.
Made in a proper copper coffee pot
I may be off my dot
But I want a cup of coffee
From a proper coffee pot.
Tin coffee pots and iron coffee pots
They're no use to me -
If I can't have a proper cup of coffee
In a proper copper coffee pot
I'll have a cup of tea.
They're no use to me -
If I can't have a proper cup of coffee
In a proper copper coffee pot
I'll have a cup of tea.
She mentioned it was helpful while enunciating Star Wars lines.

Mission Hill Staircase Tour - Santa Cruz
We walked the first half of the Mobile Ranger "Mission Hill Staircase Tour" this afternoon, reaching the Locust Street Stairs. We saw the Lower Plaza, the School Street Stairs, the Santa Cruz Mission State Historic Park, the Mission Hill Tunnel, and a number of other historic and modern details.
STEPS
After, we split a Mission Hill Creamery ice cream brownie sundae (Cookie Monster ice cream) and a cherry mini pie, then purchased two pairs of socks, from the Sockshop & Shoe Company.
It looks like the Mobile Ranger app founder has decided to pursue other career interests.
