Bows and flows of angel hair and ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere, I've looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun they rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done, but clouds got in my way
I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It's cloud's illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all

Illusions... so many illusions....
Good morning, everyone. A strange wake-up today... What is 'real' and what is dream? Anyway, time for tea! Amazing how that can always improve my mood!
I'm going to have that new Ahmad 'Hampton Breakfast' tea today and see if yesterday's impression was correct. A bowl of muesli, yogurt, and fresh fruit beside it. Let's see...

If it is the same then Not an overpowering drink...& on the weak side would be my description of it. It is not even close to Ahmad English Breakfast.

Yep! Same conclusion! It's remarkable how different the Ahmad teas can be! Their English Breakfast tea is very good, but all the other's I try seem not to measure up. Not even close! I almost bought another of the Ahmad line that was named something like 'English Morning' tea, but before I got to the check-out line noticed that it contained Bergamot.... Bleech!

That's about the same time my grandparents came over. Both maternals and paternals came from somewhere along the Russian/Polish/German border area, about 30k apart, but of course never knew each other there.

Lapidate?!? No, but beat you savagely until you mend your ways and stop drinking tea with Bergamot!

Piercing... In today's world men are required to take a extremely gaudy strip of cloth, wrap it around their throats, then tie it tightly in some sort of ceremonial knot so they can then be called 'civilized. It does have its roots in usage as a napkin 'way back when,' but what is the root of piercing?!?

Another cup of tea... but I think it will be an Assam from the East India Company. I need something that tastes good!
