    So Much Information Everywhere, Yet..

    I am not antiemetic, I have Jewish friends both on here and in my personal life. What you haven’t done is looked into the meddling that the U.S. military offices I quoted did post WW2, what they did was fact and widely reported.

    ***What Are You Smoking, November 2025?***

    I would say that the plum is orientated more to my olfactory impression and only translates through the first third to half of the bowl. The red Virginia take over from there. Smoking some PS Cube Cut in a Castello #33 with coffee this cloudy Saturday morning

    So Much Information Everywhere, Yet..

    Well around here you won’t make it to tomorrow without critical thinking, something will kill or hurt you. Guess we are the minority.

    I Remember When..........

    Time To Give Up The Hobby

    It's nearly time for a private charter jet filled with tobacco and doing a global milk run dropping off supplies. Wonder how I got this idea, must have been in movie or something................
