After over 700 miles of driving over the course of four days, my energy levels are in an interesting state of flux today. A weekend of football, exploring, and a Monday of interviews, a midday cup of coffee was very much in order. On my way back to Austin today, I kept scanning the road for a Starbucks to no avail. To be fair, there was one in Brenham, but construction and closed exits made stopping impossible. As I pulled up to a gas station shortly after the missed Starbucks, I saw this sign: "Must. Have. Coffee. Now." Truer words have yet to be spoken today. I didn't watch the clock, but I'd estimate I drank 16 ounces of very caffeinated coffee in the span of about five minutes. I wouldn't recommend this in the face of another stretch of mind numbing driving ahead of you; the jitters became a bit too much for the confines of even the enormous Brutus. At the same time, I'm not sure how I would have survived the drive without it.
