Episode 265: Wheel of Life

A good strong wind rattles the windows at The Brew. Customers turn away from their newspapers and coffee to look outside. Rain lashes against the glass. The door swings open, sending a spray of water into the shop. A woman bundled up in a parka, a scarf, heavy mittens, and woolen cap, approaches the counter. I’ll have three coffees to go please, she says. Coming right up, says Mazolli. He prepares the order. We got some weather, says the woman. Supposed to last all day, says Mazolli. That’s what I heard, says the woman. Gonna clear up tomorrow, though.
