New Coffee Pot and Wind

The most important duty yesterday was to replace our "dead" coffee pot. I went to Walmart after looking at Consumer Reports ratings to shop for one to replace our Mr Coffee. Of course, none of the ones I wrote down from the Consumer Reports comparisons were available. After looking at all of the available coffeemakers, I selected this Hamilton Beach Model:

This one has the regular 12-cup pot capacity with all the nice features, but also has something I had never seen before - a single cup maker on one half similar to a Keurig coffeemaker. What a great idea. There are many times when we finish a pot of coffee in the morning and would like just one more cup. This is the solution. We don't have to keep two coffeemakers on the counter and the single brewer makes coffee from K-cups and/or regular coffee grind. I hope it lasts forever.

The weather went south. We had strong winds all night long and we are expecting rain and cool temperatures ahead. Who said that Arizona is sunny and nice in the winter? Fortunately, it won't last long which is why we are here.

We are looking foreword to the weekend with all the exciting football that is scheduled. We expect WMU to remain undefeated tomorrow, and we also expect the Cardinals to stay on the winning track and the Seahawks to do the same on Sunday...
