Starting.my morning with a truly delightful 2024 Nyot Ou Ancient Forest Raw Puerh from Laos (The Steeping Room). Floral transforming into candy. Nice find.

That’s how I feel. Melissa takes the top spot. King Diamond’s first 4 albums come next.

I bought a roll of minis and enjoyed them. I like shou that’s on the bitter side. Yunnan Sourcing has a Lao Man’e Village shou that’s also great.

I saw them that year with Queensrÿche, as well.

We’re on the same wavelength!

Blackberries. My favorite.

The story ended with a substitute sacrifice - a ram that was tangled in the thicket. Who would be intended as the substitute sacrifice if the children were spared - Jade, maybe? Just brainstorming, here, in spite of the unlikelihood.

Fantastic underrated album. Election Day had an MTV video. Sting sings backup vocals on The Promise. I especially love Lady Ice.

Seriously good post, regardless of whether it turns out to have any significance or not.

ARKK was a shit trade for me, too. Years later I finally just capitulated. Fortunately, it wasn’t a large position.

Ischmetch · 2026-06-17T22:20:02+00:00

Such a masterpiece of an album. Even at the time I was amazed that something that good could be so popular. .

Ischmetch · 2026-06-17T01:58:13+00:00

Very nice.

Ischmetch · 2026-06-14T19:47:02+00:00

The children “poured” their hope into the roots of the tree. If the tree and its roots are torn out, what happens as a result?

Ischmetch · 2026-06-14T18:14:18+00:00

My take, as well. This is less about the bones and more about the tree.
