The Battle for the Future of Stonehenge

My mom bought a shadow box filled with coffee beans a tiny grinder, miniature mugs and other scaled down coffee accessories. The word "Coffee" was written prominently in 3 dimensional letters.

She doesn't even particularly like coffee. She just bought it to cover up her old landline phone jack on the kitchen wall, but I keep telling her it looks like she built a coffee shrine.

I'm certain that if archeologists found it 5,000 years in the future, they'd construct elaborate stories about our daily devotions to the deity we called Coffee.

Honestly the closest thing to a religious experience I have most days (weeks...months...) is getting rid of the foggy feeling in the morning with a cup of coffee while reading whatever I'm interested in at the moment. I've often wholeheartedly thanked the coffee in front of me for saving my mental state. It's certainly a ritual at this point.

I guess I'm saying... Would they really be far off?

Or tanning salons. Future generations will be horrified people cooked themselves and willingly gave themselves cancer in the name of "beauty."
