walkitoutThat’s kind of ambiguous.
I saw this yesterday or maybe the day before, read a paragraph, my surreality meter pegged and I gave up in favor of other things. Today, I was telling K. about it while on the phone, and decided to go back and read the whole thing.

I have so many questions, and I don’t subscribe to Medium so one of my better shots at an answer is minimally available to me. Maybe Reddit? Like, do certain age/gender/job/wtf combinations order certain types of drinks? The last time I paid any attention to screwy coffee drinks, it was all about insane levels of caffeine. Clearly, I have missed a few trends.
I’m still trying to figure out what a reverse French press is, altho I have definitely looked at things online.
Earlier this year, apparently Starbucks released a new drink, the Oleata, which runs right along the lines of other trends this year in weight loss. I understand why people might want olive oil in their coffee beverage in the morning. I applaud journalists for writing articles and posting videos and so forth explaining in some detail for people who maybe were just trying the new thing without understanding how the human body and olive oil and caffeine interact.
When R. and I went out to dinner in West Concord a couple days ago, I saw a very attractive young woman through a shop window who I initially thought was wearing the nicest, best fitting scrubs I had ever seen in my life. I realized yesterday evening, when I saw another attractive young woman walking along the sidewalk who _also_ appeared to really nicely fitted and nice fabric scrubs. Those Are Actually NOT Scrubs. That Look is monochromatic fashion in a tunic/t-shirt slim pant combo that initially reads as scrubs for people who don’t pay enough attention to fashion trends.
