Mother, Daughter, Sister, Lover

Mother, daughter, sister, lover,

Her needles and pins hold the pieces together,

She'll thread your pearls with her words of wisdom,

In the palm of her hand, your future is there running

Through

Mother, daughter, sister, lover,

There's no perfect choice, as you walk in your future

Be still a child on your bed of eggshell,

Behind your first steps, it's her shadows that cushion

Your fall

All questions will simply beg,

The most innocent replies.

She'll make you a daisy chain

And cry as you walk away.

Hills Coffee

Hills brother's coffee

Sunday, 22. January 2006, 01:11

1881

Austin and Reuben Hills buy a retail coffee shop in

San Francisco, beginning the Hills Brothers coffee

empire. By 1900, they lead the industry by packing

their product in newfangled vacuum cans, making it

possible to buy coffee at grocery stores instead of

going to neighborhood roasters.
