Although this pic doesn't adequately show it, we pretty much invaded this small, very cool coffee shop in Alpine, TX., descending on the place in full cold weather biking gear, including a pair of red shoe covers, balaclavas, screaming yellow windbreakers and with rear view mirrors attached to our biking goggles.  We really stood out!  As usually happens, conversations with  local folk usually ensue and we all are more enlightened.  And we usually leave the place well depleted of food, so we assume we're quite popular.  Our metabolisms are so revved up that eating is one of the mainstays of our lives these days.  This will make re-entry quite a challenge......
