The “Cup of Coffee” is the daily post where the Citizens are free to chat about whatever they want. Topics that prove sufficiently popular often migrate to their own, dedicated post.
May 8, 2013: Sweat
It's consistently over 95-100 here now, and we're just not rich enough to keep it as cool as I'd like. Well, maybe I'll sweat off those pounds I've gained by getting lazy and eating fast food.
May 7, 2013: Peer Pressure

May 1, 2013: Oh, Right
The 100+ temperatures day after day. That was why I can't stand this place.

I missed the game log intentionally yesterday so I could keep up my undefeated streak.
