Anyone know the answer?

Don,
In my younger days, I was a Ray Charles fan (Much to the chagrin of my parents). You know the "America-The-Beautiful" Ray Charles with the gravelly voice?

I used to say that I'd pay good money just to go hear him "holler." (In some of his music, he does a good bit of that - sometimes it's the highlight of the song, after he's worked you up to a fever pitch with that voice!)

Any way, I'm rapidly becoming somebody who'd pay just to hear what else is coming out of your brain!

Mary....I LOVE your Spirit and Sense of humor and WIT! You are a "One-Of-A-Kind"...and what really would make ME feel good is to hear that YOU have "hit a BIG one"!

YOU have it within YOU to do something "great"! No BS! The first time I heard your voice on the phone I could SENSE..."something wonderful" inside YOU! All you need is the "right" idea for you.

Maybe...one of these days I can come up with something that works for you.

Oh...watch this!

I live in a small town in the Pacific NW, Roseburg, OR (pop 22,000 and a lot of trees, cattle and sheep)

We now refer to it as "Coffee Country".

Well...just for the heck of it the other day...I asked a friend of mine, who owns 4 drive thru coffee huts...approx. how many Lattes & Capachinos was he selling a month, at $3 a whack.

What he told me bolled me over.

Just in his 4 drive thrus he is selling 26,000 cups of $3 coffee A MONTH!...about $75,000 Retail worth of COFFEE!

Well...THIS got me wondering and thinking.

I then did some research and went around to the other coffee huts and made an astounding compilation;

In this dorky little town of 20,000 odd...they are selling 60,000 CUPS OF COFFEE A MONTH!

Well...these numbers caused me to sit down and do some serious thinking.

Then....I got it! I figured out a way where "I", Mr Idea Man, Don Alm...could make 18 cents from EACH CUP sold...every month!

Now...18c does NOT seem like a lot BUT...multiply this by 60,000 and NOW we're talking some SERIOUS NUMBERS!...each and every month.

And...once I get it put together here...I can go to the bigger towns where more coffee is being sold.

Sorry I can't divulge just yet BUT...when I get the thing up and going I'll let you know.
