Bonnie, I sympathize with this loss. It’s not even my favorite coffee anymore, and yet it’s always been such an important part of my business traveling life. With that, are so many fond memories. I don’t even really like pumpkin spice lattes, but sure enough every fall I drink them. The thought of not having a Starbucks nearby feels like the end of a civilization. It seems as though they are the stalwarts of… Well if not a nation, a bunch of people who think they are really important. I am one of them.
