Gifts For The Coffee Lover

We all drink coffee, well most of us do, so at Christmas or on a birthday, a coffee gift can be an excellent way to show you care. However, beyond buying, well, more coffee, what can we do to make a special coffee gift to a special coffee lover?We will ignore buying specialty coffee here, because that is simply too easy to do, instead we will focus on various other types of coffee gifts there are to give.Customized mugs, which say something along the lines of World's Best Husband, are a good way to give a coffee lover a unique gift. You can usually find a place that will put anything you want on a coffee mug, including a special picture, saying or a goofy graphic. Another option is to make a coffee mug yourself through clay pottery. If you don't know how to do that, paint a special design on a coffee mug using paint pens. This will give the cup much more sentimental meaning. Coffee makers are a pretty standard gift for a coffee lover, but you can go the extra mile and get them one with all the bells and whistles. An even better option is to buy them a coffee maker that doubles as an espresso or cappuccino machine. Once the coffee lover has had a taste of cappuccino from their own machine, they won't be going back to regular coffee.

Mooning of the Amtrack Train

On every second Saturday of July, people gather outside the Mugs Away Saloon, in Laguna Niguel, California, for the annual Mooning of the Amtrack.

Known also as the Mooning of the Train, this tradition dates back to 1979. Legend has it it all started when a rich person walked into the bar and promised free drinks to anyone with enough balls to show their naked behinds to the passing Amtrak train.

This year around 1,000 people attended the mooning and a great time doing so. there were no incidents, unlike last year, when many of the 8,000 mooners got intoxicated in public and the festivities had to be shut down.

The trains are mostly full when they pass by the Mugs Away Saloon and the conductors even slow down so the passengers can really enjoy the view.
