Poly wants a cracker or an espresso.

Pennsylvania police say a woman lays the blames for a recent auto crash on her coffee-drinking pet parrot. The coffee addicted parrot distracted her moments before she crashed her car into a guardrail.

Troopers from Uniontown say the woman was driving on a South Union Township road just before 5 p.m. Tuesday when she was distracted by the bird pecking at the lid of her coffee cup. The woman says this distraction led to the accident.

The woman told police that the bird likes to drink coffee with its bird seed. The bird seed was found in a cup holder next to the coffee along with a few feathers nearby.

Police say the woman suffered a broke her arm and has facial cuts because her air bag deployed.

The bird was safely removed from the vehicle.

No word on if the coffee was decaf or not.

Used coffee grounds can help stop global warming.

With the environment in the news lately. Here is one you didn't see coming. Used coffee grounds are very good at storing Methane. Methane is a global warming gas many times more potent that carbon dioxide.With Methane having one advantage over Carbon Dioxide. That is Methane can be used as a fuel. The process to make this work is relative simple with the moist used coffee grounds being heated with potassium hydroxide. So who cares you may be asking yourself. While It's not likely your local power company will be digging around in your trash ben for your used coffee grounds in order to capture and store their Methane emissions. Some smaller producers of Methane emissions may have some interest. Many oil wells also produce small amounts of natural gas.

Weather /climate change and your coffee

Weather unpredictability/climate change is a leading factor in future coffee prices. Making the small coffee grower looking to expand their land used to cultivate coffee. Felling of rain forests will accelerate current trends in a changing climate. adding even more unpredictability to coffee supplies and future prices. With the current world price at 90 cents a pound is making profitability in many countries nearly impossible With production cost at about $1.50 per pound. The shortest answer is to grow more coffee witch takes more land, ,fewer trees, more c02, additional climate effects . Climate change and general weather unpredictability are one of the driving forces in the roller coaster ride coffee prices are having and will likely continue to have in the foreseeable future. Perhaps second only to the never ending political unrest in many coffee growing regions.
