I miss hugs an awful lot. And cuddling/snuggling. But that part has zero to do with a pandemic

The pill is in yr mind.......lol. If we had a pill to shrink down our plants we could grow everything!!!
Same place it would go anyway.
If these screens aren't what lewis carroll had in mind when he was playing with language absurdities......
Alleged universes rising and falling.....systemic rumors with their own gravity but it's all just jokes...
Ha ha
Best to be growing and leave that for people crazy in a different way from me.
What?

So in grad school i wrote a manuscript called systemic rumors. It was poetry about the wobbliness of identity in the face of the search for love.
Yes seriously.
(Lol Milson wtf) yeah i know, i was crazy and still am. But it got me teaching and that has been a very fulfilling activity in my life.
Anyway, cannabis geneology is in essence systemic rumors of a different sort. And i think plants in general are like that. More like rhizomes (associating via density) than arborescent root systems (associating via a nest of categories like russian beating dolls).
Get so stuck on making them procreate like humans that i need to remember.....they're plants.
So i begin sifting this way and that toward a coherence that i approach and merge with....not a coherence with what's in my head....that's building by category.
Take what the plants give.
I have loved watching my plants of the same strain grow and show differences. Just watching them.
Could see myself doing it quite a while. No need to spin around gathering like a mad man. Just relax, Milson.
Good morning.

Why not just germinate new seeds of crazy alongside theBest to be growing and leave that for people crazy in a different way from me.
I feel like the craziest people are those who go in circles. The smaller the point, the crazier the person.
Those who expand and confound and traverse simply just crave variety.
I find my severe ADHD friends who others might label as crazy are really quite the brilliant ones. It seems your issue if you've stopped to pick out something they've gone on about and they've moved on, unable or unwilling to return to that point. Who are we to label them crazy when we're over here analyzing the dust they've kicked up a quarter mile behind where they are now?
Good morning, Milson.

My circle when I was more sick than I am.I feel like the craziest people are those who go in circles. The smaller the point, the crazier the person.
1. [Look to screen]
2. [Ingest cheap information like a baby with a bottle]
3. [Look away from screen]
4. See 1.
Now it's:
1. [look to screen]
2. [Ingest information, usually about pot]
3. [Look away from screen].
4. [Be a stoner and mess around with a notebook, day dreaming, staring outside, work, dance in the kitchen, hang out with birds, read books and other sources of information that require work to process and haven't been chewed for me by people i resent, generally not act like an addict].
Idk.

Tucking this here for some time way down the road. Or maybe sooner if i find i like the chemdog and black widow from Nirvana and want to try either of these.
Not the Super Authentic version of course. But again, if i like the stuff I have from them already then i might roll the dice again because if it's good then it's good, right? My Chemdog from them has been vigorous as hell and stinks, so if the smoke is good then color me impressed.

A GDP cross was one of the first strains I was so lucky to actually grow well.
Not quite the effect I'm looking for these days, but the flavor profile was so deliciously fruity pebbles.

My wife's a chef. We lived in New Orleans for a long time. Anything creole? She's got it nailed. Beignets are pretty simple. One thing everyone leave out that Cafe DuMonde includes is a shot of Everclear in every batch. That's a fact. For some reason it makes the things both more airy and chewey. Idk, I'll leave the food alchemy to my wife...

I have always assumed it's something about the specific oil and flour protein content combo that makes them so much better. People don't realize the protein content differences in flour regionally....but what you say is like a bomb in my brain lol K and I are already talking about it.
I was born in new orleans. Went home from the hospital to an apartment on bourbon street iirc. We moved to be closer to my dad's folks in michigan when I was quite young, but damn if I don't remember those beignets man.

Dough halfway through first rise....
Something curious: my haze plants have red stems and my widow plants don't. Both seem healthy enough, so I'm just chalking it up to genetics. Interesting though...

My old stomping grounds. There was nothing like it in the 90's up until Katrina. That and the aftermath that followed sucked the soul out of the city. I'm about 3 hours or so away from there. We go sometimes for day trips and dinner, but are usually gone before the sun has set for an hour and we stay off Bourbon. Magazine and Warehouse District is where we typically stay to.Dough halfway through first rise....

But those freaking donuts... omg love them love them love them :) That and chicory coffee on a cold fall day down by the MS River watching the tugs chug and the calliope hoot on the river boat. Now that riverside park is overrun by meth heads and heroin junkies. There are no more safe walks down by the river at sunrise with some of Cafe DuMonde's finest in each fist. No more quiet joints in Jackson Square hanging with the ghosts. No more midnight trips through the Marigny with more blotter between lip and gum than Jimmy ever thought about doing... communing with the dew forming on the leaves of the plants that a bug is lazily strolling through. What a different perspective of reality they must have in comparison to ours.
That shit isn't possible anymore. The city is too damned dangerous. Sucks how the good things have to give way to shadows.
But we WILL have their FUCKING DONUTS god damn it. Just sayin'. They CANT have the DONUTS.

It’s because the alcohol provides moisture for the batter to come together but it’s not water which would activate the gluten and potentially make them tough, and it will evaporate off quickly so there’s nothing really left in the finished product. I think, anyway. It makes for a better pie crust too.My wife's a chef. We lived in New Orleans for a long time. Anything creole? She's got it nailed. Beignets are pretty simple.

My pie crusts were always rock hard and burnt tasting until I started using vodka.
Think I learned it from Chris Kimball... dude's great. Like Alton Brown without all the bullshit (fun.)

Sorry to hear about the danger. It's always been a bit checkerboard from what I understand, but i haven't really checked in down there in at least 8 or so years. Could definitely understand deterioration past the breaking point.My old stomping grounds. There was nothing like it in the 90's up until Katrina.

Friends who went to Tulane love the crap out of it though. My dad always joked that we moved because my parents hadn't secured me a place in the right private high school and it was too late now (i was, again, very young).
