    Do Blends Change?

    Pretty often I read of someone who says they smoke a blend that they liked previously only this time they don't like it quite so well.It just makes me wonder..Does a person's taste change or do blends vary from time to time? Or maybe a bit of both.

    Tobacco Is Money

    That's what the tobacco famers here in Carolina told me when I was a young lad.These days for me it's reversed.Money is tobacco..For those who may not realize it yet it's much harder when you're 72 to do the things you did when you were half that age.That includes mowing and trimming yards.So I...

    The Storms Missed Me

    They were all around me.The weather man said that a dome of cool air prevented storms from forming in my area.I give thanks that my family and friends suffered no damage and are safe.At the same I feel great sorrow for those who weren't as lucky.I hope they will get the help they need.
