    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2020?***

    Trade secret: @weezell hires in itinerant laborers at cut rates to heavily smoke his meers for a one-month period before changing stems. This is an Mark Twain solution that he read about while perusing articles in old copies of The Atlantic and having the help bring him mint juleps.
