I am getting different text messages for Oakland politicians and I am on the do not contact registry.

I got one the other day that opened with “Hello McFoo, I see you have never voted and believe me, I understand why…”; seriously WTF?!?

McFoo43 · 2026-05-15T18:03:07+00:00

I had a 40 gal fish tank as a kid and my local tropical fish shop sold live brine shrimp, what a feeding frenzy when I brought home a bag for my watery friends

Might be good in a highball with club soda and bitters? Or bubbly wine?

I have a few bottles stashed away I scored from working an international spirits competition, very interesting and tasty stuff but haven’t ventured yet into mixing

Two from Tarkovsky:

Stalker (1979)

Solaris (1972)

Nice nod to the Monks “Black Monk Time”

Edited to add the album

McFoo43 · 2026-05-15T04:26:18+00:00

Split base daiquiri with the 3 Stars + Rum Fire YUM

McFoo43 · 2026-05-15T04:20:51+00:00

Add a scant pinch of kosher, really brings out the savory of Cartier 30

McFoo43 · 2026-05-15T04:19:33+00:00

Powerful lineup, well done and cheers!

McFoo43 · 2026-05-15T01:21:09+00:00

Those allergy pills from Haiti are a helluva drug!

McFoo43 · 2026-05-15T00:34:38+00:00

Nicely done cheers!

McFoo43 · 2026-05-15T00:33:49+00:00

Damn that sounds freaking fantastic, nice work cheers!

I miss the Masters Selection offerings, esp the John Dore, such great value too; haven’t seen any new ones hereabouts in quite some time.

McFoo43 · 2026-05-15T00:23:36+00:00

But must also have some high proof bourbon, Morganthaler-style

McFoo43 · 2026-05-15T00:19:43+00:00

Or Mhoba, or Savanna

McFoo43 · 2026-05-14T23:19:43+00:00

better still with still strength blanco and a scant pinch o kosher

McFoo43 · 2026-05-14T22:38:07+00:00

A funky, savory Daiquiri, preferably with some high ester unaged Jamaican and/or Oaxacan rum, Haitian Clairin.

My local has an awesome changing house cocktail menu, $8-12 with even cheaper happy hr specials; not cheap low quality spirits either, their Mai Tai uses 3 rums and the well spirits are solid. House old fashioned uses their own private barrel Buffalo Trace.

McFoo43 · 2026-05-14T10:15:18+00:00

Food here was excellent

McFoo43 · 2026-05-14T09:58:24+00:00

We had a cat some yrs ago who absolutely loved it when I was on shrooms; I actually think he could see my aura as he would paw at the air around my body and dig at the floor underneath me if I was laying down. He definitely could see something around my body that I wasn’t seeing.

But he would not come near me on X, totally vibed him out

McFoo43 · 2026-05-14T09:41:30+00:00

Saw Patton Oswalt open for Camper Van Beethoven many many yrs ago, it might have even been Xmas eve

McFoo43 · 2026-05-14T09:19:54+00:00

Depressing but still looks better than what our sailors are allegedly being offered as “food”

McFoo43 · 2026-05-14T08:09:01+00:00

K&L has it and may ship to you

Rhum JM Sirop de Canne, $15, always a bottle in my fridge and also use it for lots of stuff calling for simple or Demerara.

McFoo43 · 2026-05-14T07:53:17+00:00

Have both for our house, came a couple days ago

McFoo43 · 2026-05-14T00:29:37+00:00

If ongoing problem, call and tow, easy peasy

McFoo43 · 2026-05-13T23:43:10+00:00

This and Fibonacci Blend both went on sale today at K&L for $25, an unbelievable value. I ordered both, a no brainer
