[Vision2020] Interesting Dilemma

[Tom Hansen]

Greetings Visionaires -

The Situation:  Over the years I, and I am certain that many of you, have
replaced many coffee makers; each coffee maker exceeding its anticipated
life expectancy.

The Problem:  As each coffee maker "died", it was appropriately discarded
into the nearest dumpster, with one exception . . . the carafe, which was
placed in storage as "emergency" backup for possible use at another time
and place.  I have now collected a fair amount (9 as of yesterday at about
6:30 PM) of carafes.

The Question:  What to do with them?  It would simply be wrong to toss
them out and I truly have no use for them.

Your suggestions would be most appreciated.

"Caffeine is my shepherd; I shall not doze.
It maketh me to wake in green pastures:
It leadeth me beyond the sleeping masses.
It restoreth my buzz:
It leadeth me in the paths of consciousness for its name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of addiction,
I will fear no Equal™:
For thou art with me; thy cream and thy sugar they comfort me.
Thou preparest a carafe before me in the presence of The Starbucks:
Thou anointest my day with pep; my mug runneth over.
Surely richness and taste shall follow me all the days of my life:
And I will dwell in the House of Mochas forever."
