Hit Coffee is the story of Will Truman (trumwill), a southern transplant in the mountain west with an IT background who bides his time substitute teaching while his wife brings home the bacon. This site is a collection of reflections on the goings-on in his life and in the world around him. You will probably be relieved to know that he does not generally refer to himself in the third-person except when he's writing short bios on his web page.
Greetings from Callie, Arapaho, a red town in a red state known for growing red meat. And from Redstone, Arapaho (Aw-RAH-pah-hoe), a blue city with blue collar roots that's been feeling blue for quite some time.
Nothing written on this site should be taken as strictly true, though if the author were making it all up rest assured the main character and his life would be a lot less unremarkable.
This website is maintained by Guy Webster (web), who also contributes from time to time. Web hails from the midwest and currently lives in Truman's home city of Colosse, Delosa. He works as a utility IT person at Southern Tech University, their alma mater.
Also contributing is Sheila Tone (stone) a West Coaster, breeder, and lawyer who has probably hooked up with some loser just like you and sees through your whole pathetic little act.
Me: {looking up San Jose’s airport for information for the novel} San Jose’s airport’s initials are SJC. I wonder why that is.
Wife: San Jose, California?
Me: Oh. Duh. I figured out the SJ, but for some reason drew a blank on the C.
Wife: California.
Me: Right. I realized that when you said “San Jose, California”
Wife: Good.
Me: My mind draws blanks sometimes.
Wife: That’s what I’m here for, sweetie.

Three-letter airport codes can be quite obscure. Sometimes they harken back to an otherwise forgotten past name. For instance, Chicago O’Hare is ORD because many years ago it was called Orchard Field, while CMH for Columbus recalls its long-ago moniker Columbus Municipal Hangar. Kansas City is MCI for a name that never was. When the airport was being developed in the 1960’s, before construction began, there was a plan to call it Mid-Continent International; the idea was soon dropped, but the code remains as its sole legacy.
And then you’ve got the people in Fresno and Sioux City, who’ve been campaigning for years, without success, to change FAT (for Fresno Air Terminal) and SUX.

SUX makes me wanna laugh, Beavis and Butthead style.
One of Colosse’s airports has an unexpected code, though it’s not as off-base as the ones you mention.
