I'm sorry. I enjoyed the snow, before it turned to freezing slush and rain and I had to walk to the bus in it.
Thank you. I'm glad that you enjoyed the snow, although I'm sorry for your having to walk through the slushy rain/rainy slush.
It's a common coffee substitute without caffeine. It may taste like it could kill me, but it can't.
I'm glad of that. I'm very aware of chicory as a coffee substitute/stretcher, but somehow it hadn't hit me that it was caffeine-free. I suppose because my earliest experience of it was as the secondary ingredient of Orleanian-style coffee, which is generally brutal,* even with the evaporated milk.**
I am just also hoping to inveigle people who have cars.

Good luck and happy inveigling!
*Having a level of viciousness somewhere slightly below Scandinavian-style coffee. To be fair, the brutality of café Louisianais isn't specifically caffeine-based, being more a matter of bitterness and acidity, IIRC.
**It's not quite the dairy equivalent of lutefisk, but still, I must say that the Vietnamese were very wise when they adopted sweetened condensed milk instead.
