The Bean Scoop

Welcome to our Fall/Winter Issue. Like the rest of the world we at the Bean Scoop have been rocked by recent global events. Our hearts and prayers go out to all victims world wide. This issue includes: 1. Responses to the September 11th attacks on the United States and the continuing violence. 2. Poetry and short fiction by Canadian writer, Leonora Record. These pieces juxtapose violence and eroticism, laying them out on a slab for our contemplation. 3. DecentCoffee.com is purchasing its coffee from Pistol & Burnes these days. Here's the reasons why... 4. A look at Titz'n Glitz: the event that dares to use the "T" word in public AND bravely grins in the face of breast cancer. Also, Angela Vecchio-Ozmon shares her story about her battle with the disease. Don't forget to look here on November 15th for our Christmas issue of the Scoop! Until then, try to remember there's only one earth. That makes just one big sandbox, boys and girls. We gotta learn to play nice. Diane Parsons
