I asked this barista if he was wearing the wristbands to keep from getting burned and he said, "I don't believe there's any balance in the universe." He stared at my uncomprehending face and added, "Do you think that there can be any two things that are exactly the same length?"

When I asked if I could take his picture he mentioned a book in which the author had taken a picture of everything that he had eaten for a year.
