The coffee ring on the table

I have no coasters on my coffee table. Still, I take precautions. I don't know that I care about rings on the coffee table. But I do care about the possibility of rings on the coffee table.

Possible Reasons Why I Care about the Possibility of Rings on the Coffee Table

1. Bemoan wasted coffee

2. Want to have nice things

3. Inscrutability of what causes "rings."

4. Not wanting to get into trouble

There are great freedoms within the confines of even a small dwelling.

Dairy-based Freedoms within Confines, Brought Back Around

I will continue to buy whole milk with moral impunity. I will make French Toast out of peanut butter sandwiches. Half-and-Half may be drunk without accompaniment. I can discard an entire container of cheese due to of one spot of mold and I will continue to revel in drinking directly from the milk jug, but I will not set it down on the coffee table without an entire ad mailer for absorption.
