A lot of people smoked this back in the day. About like smoking sawdust. Cheaper than Prince Albert. My folks ran a little grocery store and I would occasionally steal a bag of it. I remember it costing a nickel.

I love those old cigarette labels. It would be fun to collect them. I remember when Home Runs sold for about $0.12 a pack. Everything else was about $0.20

Afternoon fellas...
FM audit coming up after lunch...can't wait (dripping w/sarcasm).
EJ & Nick .... great news. Brad is going in the transfer portal...makes sense if he wants to play basketball.
I think the Big Blue train is still rollin' on down the track.
Cloudy w/rain off and on today.
Not much today.
Not a smoker...don't see how people even get started on it. But same could be said about beer...so there's that.

FCC, it is a herb that was very common when I was a boy and grows wild in pastures, woods, etc. It was an old home remedy people used for colds and chest congestion, etc. Of course being a boy my buddies tried to smoke it which was really common in those days. Someone told me that you can actually buy it online. I don't know but I've been told. If you run across a weed or plant that looks a little like this it is rabbit tobacco.

Another name for it used by the old timers was Life Everlasting

That is what my dad called it. Life Everlasting. I had not thought of that in forever.
 
...................

I hope it is a good day for all. My wife and I are getting the band back together - son home from Lexington, daughter home from College Park, daughter SIL and granddaughter on the way from Kansas City for a little college graduation celebration for my second daughter.

That is what us old foggies look forward to. Hunker down and enjoy the hell out of it; why all your loved ones are around you.

That is what I live for.

I didn't either but I got hooked.

I have not smoked much in my life, but if they tell me I am dying of some dreaded thing, then I will get a pack of Camels and smoke. I love to smoke.
 
You might find it in Oklahoma. Here is an article about it. It is non addictive and was used, and still is by some, by the settlers and pioneers to treat colds, congestion, etc. We had it everywhere down here when I was growing up.

Good thing it is not spelled rabid tabacco. Smoke it and start foaming at the mouth. My wife says I do that every time she whispers in my ear.

Is that "hog ass"?

Bert, that is how I interpret "rectum". I had no idea this would be marketable for human consumption. I learned something today and my mother told me if you learn something during the day it is not a wasted day. I guess that applies to this

OK . . . That's something I'm not particularly interested in eating. Well done or not.
I will exit this earth without eating this. Well done or not. Ain't happening.

I bet they taste like crap.
You could never get this clean enough for me. I did some goggling and found out they are often put in hot dogs as a filler. Huh?
 
Pseudognaphalium obtusifolium . . . this botanical genera occurs around the world and used by native people everywhere. Linkys Pseudognaphalium

Eschew obfuscation. That's what I thought of when I saw that name.

I bet they taste like crap.

[laughing] beat me to it, but I'm sure I've eaten some in a vienna sausage or a hot dog. Probably ate some and didn't know it at a drunken pig roast. If you eat something that has tripe in it, then you deserve to eat a little ass every now and then.
 
Well, my friend came over again today and we have finished the framing work on the porch. All that's left for the structure is the screen, the carpet, and the doors. Can't put the screen up until the carpet is down. Can't put the carpet down until the doors are made. Can't make the doors until I procure the wood.

Gonna go tomorrow to get the wood to make the doors, the bar, and the chairs. Love me some oxford comma. Doors will come first and then I guess I should make a couple of bar chairs. After that I'll make the bar and then the rest of the chairs. Many beers will die a valiant death, but it will not be in vain!
 
Good morning D League and Happy Friday on this the last day of May. Wow, June is almost here and that means the start of Hurricane Season. Be prepared. The temperature is 73° and the weather channel says we will get up to 87°. But the girl on the radio says bunk to that, she says look for mid 90's. I believe her.

Our state sales tax is waived this time every year to allow people to get ready for hurricane season. So for the next few days you can buy what you want without paying a tax. Stores will be crowded as people grab up generators, batteries, lanterns, etc. .

I am hitting the pool to get these old bones moving. Beats running up and down the road. Have a nice one.
