I was tempted by their Caribou Coffee shop the other day. I had visited the
inside to recycle some coffee and the aroma of their freshly roasted/brewed
coffee smote my nose a heck of a lick. I was sorely tempted to try it out. But,
I needed to get back to the mother ship and finish my assigned duties. On the
whole though, I'd venture to guess that the coffee shop will be my first inside
purchase there.

You didn't sprain a brain cell cogitating on that or anything else, I trust.

You could if there wasn't a line at the wash ... unless you strap a lot of
stuff to the outside of your car.
