If a coffee kiosk had the right syrups and spices, this whole note-thing could be housed in a cup. I like to infuriate baristas by asking for Sweet'N Low. Hot, no sleeve or lid. Well-balanced/rounded and warmly-sweet. Consistent and nigh persistent. Pleasant. Earthy--a well-traveled hiking path in Autumn sunlight.

Points of (further) interest:
(550) is the correct expression of the Robusto format.
162 is the number of games played per MLB team.
