What Are You Listening To? (June 2020)
I *love* the (best) version of "Shady Grove" on that one. I had that tape before it was released. Here is Billy Strings, unusually on an electric, doing a version of "Voodoo Chile" to rival Stevie Ray Vaughan's. Yes, I know it's a Hendrix song.- davek

Am I the Only One Here with No Cell Phone?
I have an i-phone3, a little over a year ago I had a brick. So, I like to have a cell phone, but a phone is a phone to me. I'm more into computers. I worked as a machinist when I had a brick (Nokia).

Pimples in Mouth
Yes. My smoking is on weekends only, and not all weekends. It's quite hard to maintain, I basically do have withdrawals on Monday. However, I'm doing it because you basically have to have (nearly) an emergency to see a doc. Here in Ohio medical stuff is opening more freely and things will be...- davek

Black and Mild vs Pipe Tobacco
White Castles are one of those foods that are the nectar of the gods when eaten occasionally, but are not good at all if had more often. Of course, alcohol totally changes that equation. I haven't gotten drunk anywhere but home in decades, but I do have fond memories of White Castle parking...- davek

English Blends More Expensive Than Aros?
I'm a homegrown and whole leaf smoker. I get physically ill smoking many store-bought blends (I must admit that I have not tried a plethora of them). So, I know it is the toppings in some way shape or form. However, I have always tolerated, actually smoked and enjoyed, English blends. I've...- davek

Favorite Windy Day Smoke?
Plugs or flakes cut big/chunky. Any tobacco that is a challenge to keep lit if it is not windy. And, yeah, Virginia suffers- davek

Good News People!
I'm hesitating to post this. I hesitated to post my last. I have my feelings about this, but some things are no brainers. A simple logical exercise. There are two logical possibilities. This was a real, serious, issue... or it was not so serious and we overreacted. Misinformation abounds...- davek

ATTENTION ALL MALES.....I am in Need of Advice
I meant that as a question to yourself, I guess. So... Is that enough? Do you think you'll ever want more? 2 quality lives to replace your wife and yourself is enough for me, but I'm not you. You could always put it off but keep thinking about it. Kinda sounds like the real decision is, "Do I...- davek

Good News People!
My neighbor is a head nurse at a local hospital here in Cincinnati. Ohio has not been hit particularly hard. She was telling me yesterday that she has had 11 of her people on ventilators in the last couple months. I'm thinking we will continue to have good news. I certainly hope so.- davek

This Happened to My Tobacco After 7 Years In a Mason Jar
Get a jeweler's loupe. I was wondering if some white stuff I had on tobacco plants hanging was mold or not. Now, maybe that type mold is different... whatever... but when I looked at it under a jeweler's loupe I knew what it was. A jeweler's loupe is 30x normally. I could not find a pic of...- davek

Corn Cob Cracks and Silicone
Didn't know pot pipes were made of silicone now. Are you talking about silicone like from a caulking gun, and is it the same stuff? Wouldn't think so, but I dunno. Regardless, I just fix corn cob cracks with wood glue or Elmer's on the outside and fill the inside with honey. Then I rub the...- davek

Tobacco Varieties: Nicotiana Sylvestris
