This is the coffee-making apparatus from the hotel room in St. Louis. Note the waste associated with brewing a single cup of coffee. I can understand the need for ensuring the hotel-room coffee-maker is clean, but I mean, this thing still has a water reservoir, so what’s the point? I guess I just feel like […] So going to crazy lengths to minimize their fuel costs is called “hypermiling”. According to Wikipedia “extreme hypermilers” will do things like coasting with the engine off and running red lights.

The problem is that I’m in pretty terrible shape right now. So this is actually a the-Sanskrit-characters-for-problem-and-opportunity-are-the-same situations. I’m more or less following this program, which seems just barely doable for me, with the exception that my short runs so far have […] … but what to do with it? I spend a fair amount of time trolling the Northern Brewer forums, and one of the more frequent exchanges goes something like: Q: OK, I have my water report, now what do I do with it?
