Those Ethiopians are great. Do you roast any dry processed? I had one from Sumatra that was awesome.I've been working on a 5 pound bag of green Columbian beans and will be glad when they're gone! Nothing wrong with Columbian, just nothing to stand out. Ethiopian Yirgacheffe is my favorite but Sumatra Mandheling, Costa Rican Tarrazu and Guatemalan Huehuetenango all have great flavors.
Nice lines of poetry! Sounds like a blend I'd like.Of all the money that ever I had
I spent it in good company
And of all the harm that ever I done
Alas! It was to none but me
And all I’ve done for want of wit
To memory now, I can’t recall
So fill to me the parting bowl
Goodnight, and joy be with you all
What sorrows one finds in the parting bowl. Down to the last of my three-year old Peretti’s Blend DD. And what great company it has been. The dark nuances sing more boldly in their aging. The sweet-sour Burley refrain that now abides its lovely melody would make any Irish man cry like a baby, me included.

Just finished smoking year 2019 C&D Derringer in a smooth brown-orange undated Mastro de Paya 3A L Tulip with a silver cap military mount and an acrylic yellow tapered stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

I let Sam the Scamp in to eat under my strict supervision while Daisy the Feral Princess and Tomato the Brave ate outside. When he finished, I put him on my lap and took a few pics. Meanwhile, Abner the Eager came over and ate what Daisy and Tomato left. I put Sam outside, and saw him stop walking. At the edge of the deck was a hungry Shy Stripesy who was waiting for the other cats and me to leave. They stayed together for a minute or two, and once I went inside the house, Stripesy came over to eat.

Jim, your updates on your feline cohabitants are some of my favorite. I've got $20 toward one of those livestream webcams and sites like they use for traffic and weather, but to monitor their adventures from your porchAs I was walking, Tomato the Brave was with me until he saw other cats around. Staring around in the middle of the street, he focused on Midnight, who is afraid of me, but I finally got a photo of him before Tomato chased him away. Sam the Scamp showed up, and Tomato ended up chasing him, too. Sam came to me because I am his safety zone. In the meantime, Shy Stripesy came to eat, and as soon as she saw me, she ran under the deck lounge. She was surrounded on both sides by Tomato and Abner the Eager. Nothing was happening beyond a stare down between the cats until I walked over, and Stripesy, who has always been afraid me of me, ran to the back yard, followed by Abner. I took one step toward them, and Stripesy jumped the fence with Abner right on her heels. No matter what I have done these three+plus years, Stripesy is deathly scared of me. I’ll continue to feed her, but I have given up hope that anything will change.
