the far corner

I enjoy a bit of coffee during my workday, so having a container by which I can transport this coffee from home to work is essential.  As it happens, 32 fl. oz. is the perfect amount of coffee.  As it also happens, 32 fl. oz. is a damned difficult size of a thermos to procure locally.  But, the Wal-Mart came through, or so I thought.  I discarded the “instructions” immediately, thinking “How difficult is it to do the job of a thermos?”  I now imagine that those same instructions carried a disclaimer similar to the following: “Will contain liquid (results vary)”.

In case the picture doesn’t clearly depict it, the thermos is positively weeping coffee.    Oh well.  I’m just drinking it a little faster today.
