Mending the Cold
Tea with honey and lemon, Em-eukal German cough drops, and lots of tissues.
Waterdog Willy’s
Waterdog Willy’s across the street from us is the nicest shop around, well, at least the one with the most character. This bait and fishing supply shack sits lonely on a near-empty lot, waiting for the day a developer finally takes over the plot to assemble clone homes. Today though, it sits proudly next to the strip club next door called the Candy Store, where no less than twice a week, we get to listen to the police helicopter hovering overhead as some sex-crazed moron does something stupid so another customer steps in to start a brawl.
Tea
Samples of nine different teas we ordered online from Adagio. The Moonlight Gyokuro and Choral Pi Lo Chun are green teas, the Wuyi Ensemble and Jasmine Suite 12 are Oolong, the Darjeeling Rhapsody 2 and Golden Monkey are black teas, Organic Rooibos (pronounced Roy-boss), the White a Cappella is a white tea and of course, Chamomile is Chamomile.
Shelf
Late in the afternoon, the sun glares through a western window towards our dusty, overcrowded knick-knack shelf.
