4 minutes for black tea is what I like, it’s considered English style if steeped for 4 minutes and Chinese if steeped for 5. Herbal teas are not even true teas they are bastages 😜 (by the measure of tea).
I have a friend who owned a tea cafe for about 15 years. He was crazy about steeping for the proper amount of time. When I would get my tea to go and ask them to leave the bag in because I was on a time crunch he would always if he was there roll his eyes and say something about not blaming him if it was bitter 😄.

Robert Frost admired trees…
The Sound of the Trees
Robert Frost, 1874 – 1963
I wonder about the trees.
Why do we wish to bear
Forever the noise of these
More than another noise
So close to our dwelling place?
We suffer them by the day
Till we lose all measure of pace,
And fixity in our joys,
And acquire a listening air.
They are that that talks of going
But never gets away;
And that talks no less for knowing,
As it grows wiser and older,
That now it means to stay.
My feet tug at the floor
And my head sways to my shoulder
Sometimes when I watch trees sway,
From the window or the door.
I shall set forth for somewhere,
I shall make the reckless choice
Some day when they are in voice
And tossing so as to scare
The white clouds over them on.
I shall have less to say,
But I shall be gone.

I have oaks, loquats and maples that I grew from acorns/seeds that are from trees that Katrina destroyed. A couple of oaks just flat took off, they’re about twenty feet tall as much wide and I’ve babied them from day one. Now there’s as much tree below ground as above and each one sucks up and spits out an amazing amount of water. One ag guy, three years ago, estimated our trees pumped out about 1.2 million gallons of water a day into the air. They are amazing.

Worst thing about this is that evacuees, many of whom have never had to evacuate for a storm before, will be less likely to evacuate next time. We had evacs that accounted to zip before Katrina and when K came there was a lot of hesitation – I won’t go into how city government screwed the evac of those who couldn’t. Now that NOLA has a ton of new residents with zero background in hurricanes, residents who are bombarded with political speeches about how the current pols have worked to make the city more hurricane resistant than ever before (where have we heard that before?), the next call for an ecac should be even more interesting than K.

Them gummint m-ployeez ain’t doin’ too well either. Their Fed health insurance has gone thru the roof. Many years ago Sone of us pushed a suggestion that instead of ‘self only’ and self and family regardless of hiw many dependents we have’ a third option, ‘self and one’ be added. It would mean that a man with a wife but no kids, or a sole parent with one child wouldn’t be paying the same premium as a man, wife and 23 sons/daughters. The ‘self-one’ option should be more than ‘Self only’ but less than ‘self and family’, right?
Well the Feds fonally went and done done it, probably some big GS or SES suggested it and his bros approved it and gave him/her a big bonus. The Fed health insurance big wigs at OPM sat down and worked out the premiums and…..viola!…..’self and one’ somehow became so expensive that HR peopke were telling chosing ‘self and one’ that they’d save a LOTTA money by sticking with ‘self and family’ instead.
And these people worry about Trump with his finger on the button.

Little known fact about Katrina is that the Feds sent a lot of their LEA down here to assist in ‘search and rescue’. Many of these folks were engaged in breaching operations, breaking into locked and secured houses of evacuees to search for victims, many teams quoted that they got more hands-on training breaking into houses the few weeks theybwere in NOLA than they did in two years out in the field. Of course once they broke in to your house thry thoroughly tossed it while ‘searching for victims’ and it wasn’t really secured when they left. No telling how many houses were looted due to looters seeing an unsecured house and taking advantage of it. Of course if the Feds found anything untoward in your house once they broke in….welllllllll.
Then there’s the issue of the city government not havingbthe legal basis for forcing people to evacuate, a hole they desperately want to plug. The city was so pissed that it couldn’t force residents out at gunpoint that it soent about as much effort harassing those who stayed as it did trying to contain the storm damages. We’re still a heavily Red state but the Commissars are looking at using, among other excuses, the potential of child endangerment as in ‘you must take care to evac and take your children to safety’ to lever an ‘everyone must evac under the law’ mandate. A totally empty city at the complete disposal of pols from every level of government…what could go wrong?

I tend to use their measured introduction as a verbal vaccination sonce elements in public schools use them to verbally overpower kids who haven’t been exposed. Comes as a surprise to the offenders when their targets don’t recoil in shock.

I told her to buy disposable diapers and use wash cloths if she really wanted to be environmentally friendly and she gave me a long drawn out line of bs about how it takes less energy to make these diapers than it does to wash diapers and somehow they supposedly turn to some kind of dust or some crap not filling up the landfills.
I told her she was using a diaper genie that has horrible plastic bags that are not environmentally friendly. She got mad and told me she was trying to save the planet for her children and I was doing nothing.

This very annoying lady started asking if it was organic and she couldn’t eat anything that wasn’t organic, she went on and on forever not giving me a chance to answer her question. When she took a breath I told her I spray our squash plants with DDT that’s why I had so much of it.
She looked like she was going to have a stroke and stomped to her car mumbling something.
Someone else asked me if that was true, I told them no, DDT was outlawed. There actually was nothing on the squash, but people who are getting something for free shouldn’t be a pain about it.
