It's so hot here in Palm Desert! The temperatures are hotter than expected, and we're breaking records set 50 to 100 years ago.

Temperatures reached 119 out on the freeway yesterday as we were driving over! Cars were blowing out cheap tires left and right and Scott kept busy dodging tire shreds most of the way. 
We're spending the early mornings out in the sun before it gets too hot and are on our way now to go grab lunch and see "Kung Fu Panda." Perhaps, Panda Express for lunch for theme's sake?

Last night, Katrine left me in my hell of back pain to attend an invite-only event at Cafe Vita to drink crappy coffee -- literally.

At the "cupping" (the coffee snob's way of saying "coffee tasting") she drank Kopi Luwak, which is a coffee that is prepared using coffee cherries that have been eaten by an Asian Palm Civet (small monkey-cat hybrid), partially digested, and harvested from its feces.

In fewer words, Katrine drank coffee brewed from beans crapped out by a monkey-cat.

Kopi Luwak is the world's most expensive coffee, retailing between $120 and $600 per pound. That's some expensive shit.
