Postcards from Snagglepuss
Talk about "care packages" galore ...
INSIDE CATTANOOGA KLATSCHE, GATLINBURG: "Huck ... Snagglepuss ... we'd like to see you for a moment before you leave ..."
It was the leader of the Cattanooga Cats, Country by name, leading us into what amounted to the private office of Cattanooga Klatsche (and, in a way, the Cattanooga Cats proper) for God-knew-what, which had Huckleberry wondering if a surprise was in order.
And (heavens to Murgatroyd!) it was.
"On behalf of the Cattanooga Cats," Kitty Jo explained, "please accept this package for your onward travels in that motorhome of yours." Humbled though we were, we were essentially at a loss for saying the proper acknowledgement of thanks, which the band more or less accepted. Because, as it happened, such was two pounds of a special house blend of coffee "reserved for special friends like yourselves," as Country explained it--a "half-and-half" blend of medium-roast and dark-roast beans for to ensure some balance of taste.
A modest little hand coffee grinder, which Groove hilariously tried to explain the mechanics of (especially in trying to adjust the desired grind).
And "to snack on while on the road," a dozen raspberry white chocolate scones, just baked from Cattanooga Klatsche's kitchens.
"At any rate," Scoots remarked, "I also threw in a couple of my story collections to keep equally entertained."
"I know not exactly what to say," said I, "save thanks."
Which brought quite the chuckle.
Not to mention Kitty Jo acknowledging what support we provided in getting their Gatlinburg Easter Parade off and running as it did, even when a Character Convocation in connexion came off hastily, but with some measure of success.
"Especially with quite a few of us characters being in the company of visitors going up the Gatlinburg Space Needle," Huck remarked.
"I admit that, being the Easter weekend," Country added, "things were bound to cross into unlikely character meet-and-greets, especially on the Parkway."
"And even before the parade, at that!" Kitty Jo was quick to add.
"Still," saith I, "I admit that we have a Chemex coffeemaker for the road."
"Not a bad choice," Country was quick to admit.
"And," Scoots chimed in, "we happen to be especially proud to recommend hand coffee grinders to such fond of buying whole bean coffee to grind at home--or on the road, for that matter!" Groove was quick to chime in that some of the biggest fans were those of the motorhome and minivan persuasion preferring pour-over coffee, "and who could argue with that?"
"Hardly anybody," Huckleberry Hound chimed in.
"At any rate," chimed in I, "thanks again ... and hopefully, we'll keep in touch with how things turn out in the bargain."
"Much appreciated" was how Country responded.
Soooo, getting things squared away and all that ...

Original to-do list:
Empty out cabinets
Wipe down the insides
Spray crevices with bug spray
Shower
Start bacon around 3pm?
Make dinner
Revised to-do list:
I should eat breakfast, ideally with coffee
No coffee. Have to make some.
French press is still full of old grounds. Wash French press.
Sink is still full of dirty dishes. Wash--
Drying rack is still full of clean dishes!!
Empty drying rack. Wash dishes. Rinse French press. 🪳 jumpscare! Grind beans. Boil water. Make the goddamn coffee!
Drink coffee and ponder what trials I must endure for a bagel.
...
Empty the cabinets
Wipe down insides
Spray crevices with bug spray
We'll see

Care to dispute the workplace rumor that you two were high school sweethearts? I've heard it mentioned once or twice in passing.
-Umbrella lab coffee guy
"Rumors are carried by adversaries, spread by fools, and accepted by imbeciles," Wesker remarks offhandedly
"Should we tell them abo-"
"No," Wesker cuts Will off before he finishes. "I'm off to run an errand now, do ring up the facilities manager to advise on our need for a new cafe attendant."
