The ole joke goes that when they tipped Canada all the nuts rolled to the west coast. In other words, the gene-pools from the east sent their smartest, sexiest, and most extravagant butterflies to the newest migratory frontier. For only the crazy colourful ones are adventurous and flexible enough to settle new territories. Forget the rigid eastern seaboard, the quaint villages of Quebec, the Victorian masonry of Ontario, and the great rugged expanse of the mid-west. Roll further, young man, westward ho!
The psychology of people who live along the west coast is a bit different than that of people from the rest of Canada. Our love of Cannabis is well known. Turn on. There are cafes and coffee-shops in every corner of downtown Vancouver. Tune in. Sushi and other Asiatic delights are pervasive throughout the city. Massage parlors, flotation tanks, yoga studios, hiking trails, ski slopes, and sandy beaches. A veritable hedonic den of sin for the senses. Drop out. These common psychological traits of people inhabiting a region is what is referred to as neuro-geography. It broadly defines the behavioural repertoire of people from a given geographic location.
Which is why today, I'd like to talk about coffee. Tried a new brand that I purchased from a local grocery delivery service. I left the bag outside a couple of days to kick the hell out of the coronavirus with some solar radiation. The coffee tastes alright, but not as delicious as my beloved JJ Beans espresso.

Thank you for posting in The Ink Well.
Our Fiction Challenge starts next week, hope to see you there.
Starbucks originated on the West coast... that says it all! But so does this:
Another coffee nut, I see. =) I enjoy variety but have yet to find anything to dethrone the jj beans espresso. It's an addiction!
I enjoyed writing that opening and it was going great until I lost my train of thought and decided to write about coffee instead. On the plus side, my new sativa blend is wonderful.

Neuro.... stop me from googling this fascinating and new-to-me subject!
A curious cat! Unfortunately you won't find much on neuro-geography online because it's a fictional model of behaviour based on a mishmash set of ideas that the planet is a nervous system made up of different neural networks or communities... something like that.
Ahhh. That explains my failed search. (That, and daughter tells me Duck Duck Go is not as good as Google search.)
The planet, a nervous system... interesting metaphor!
