Hoping that you guys are with me in contributing a bit of change for a good-sized group tip to pass on to our hardworking, thankless baristas at the Moka House. For a year and a half, the staff has been cranking out up to a couple dozen Americanos, teas, macchiatos, and, er, decafs. A dollar or two per rider should do the trick.. Why not start tomorrow am? Depending on the numbers, we could offload the coins on Friday or at the end of the ride on Tuesday next..

pour·boire (pr-bwär), noun: Money given as a gratuity; a tip.

[French, from pour boire, for drinking : pour, for (from Old French, from Latin pr; see pro-1) + boire, to drink (from Old French boivre, from Latin
bibere; see beverage).]

The French are such straight shooters..
