Nearing the last quarter of this bowl of year 2019 C&D Yorktown in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Terracotta 4AB No.108/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Watching the Braves-Marlins game, and the first six Braves batters had hits as they scored five runs before an out was made. They just scored a sixth run as I was typing this.

C&D Autumn Evening in a MM Mark Twain cob with the long tortoise shell forever stem with slight bend. After finishing and dumping the ash and blowing it out I sat pondering truth and drawing on the empty pipe. It had a nice mild maple syrup flavor to it. I guess i temporarily ghosted it but in a pleasant way.

Finally a chance to sit down with a pipe! At our Airbnb in Bayeux with Viprati in a clay (and will be followed with Viprati in The French Pipe (shape 5) with a very pleasant french IPA. I had loaded the clay earlier as we discovered when we arrived a medieval fair is going on, and hoped to enjoy it in the throng, but too windy, too crowded There was even a blacksmith there but did not ask him to light the clay... Day before was a LONG day of Vintage racing at Le Mans and had loaded the French Pipe there and had just started working on a charring light and got pulled away to the start of the next great vintage race. It was awesome! HUGE! Could not do it all in one day. This was not your local track vintage race day, let me tell you. Way better than current day racing, imho. Also today on way to Bayeux, stopped in at the Brittany American Cemetery. Beautiful, well kept, respectful, ...and profoundly peaceful. Of the many things the US Govt spends money on, this is on the list of what's done right. -- Normandy beaches tomorrow.

@Scottmi I've got some Bayeux tapestry T-shirts - and I'd have asked the blacksmith to light my clay:)
