<p>Nick -</p>
<p>Thanks for the link. Ohori's is not my goto, but I'm 100% with
the spirit. I have had no traction on trying to extend this kind
of help TO my regular go-tos. I am of a mind that at the very
least, my weekly *tip* budget could go straight into the same
pockets it used to with no harm to me... and as you point out, my
entire luxury food/services budget could go that way as well. </p>
<p>I'll check for other go-fund-me's in SFe and would love to hear
from others who have discovered similar to yours here.</p>
<p>- Steve<br>

<p>To The Mother Church, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>As you know, I am addicted to coffee and particularly to
coffee houses, and particularly to Ohori’s-next-to-Kaune’s,
where I like to loll in the sunshine of a late afternoon like
the flea-bitten old dog that I am. Over the years I have come
to befriend and greatly admire the Barista’s of Santa Fe.
They remind me of graduate students. Many of them are using
barista work to make possible independent scholarship,
artistic careers, and musical careers, pursued for the sheer
love of it. So when the virus hit in March and many of them
lost work, I tried to set up some sort of a fund to help them.
But not being gig-economy type, I couldn’t see how to do it.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Now, to my delight, one of the workers has set up a gofundme
site. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p>I am hoping that those of you who have shared my pleasure in
dealing with these young folks will make some sort of a
donation, if only as a token of your support. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I am figuring it this way: I am saving about 7 – 10 dollars
a day in latte’s and zucchini bread (AND lost three pounds).
I figure that savings ought to go to them. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>It would be a great kindness to me if you would pitch in. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>All the best, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Nick <o:p></o:p></p>
