Museum of Death mug
Death by coffee?

The daily picture theme for November 13, 2025 is mug. Like everyone else I have an endless supply of coffee mugs with various slogans, companies, politics and humor. Coffee mugs rival t-shirts and bumper stickers for their variety of content. For example:

Opening its doors in 1868, this Carter Street treasure was Connecticut’s last operating one-room schoolhouse when it closed in 1957.
