Would love a pot of JAVA FROM JAMAICA right now; or a pot of Major Dickason's blend from Peet's.
It's base is Jamaica Blue Mountain, but it's known to vary, so they sometimes use a substitute as long as the same flavor obtains.
There is a town called Blue Mountains in Ontario, Canada. It's on the Grey River. The Blue and the Grey.
There are the famous Blue Mountains near Sydney, Oz.
There is a Blue Mountain in Norcal.
Blue Mountain is a mountain in the Crystal Range, a subrange of the Sierra Nevada. It is west of Lake Tahoe on the western boundary of the Desolation Wilderness in El Dorado County, California. Wikipedia
Elevation: 8,773' (2,674 m)
Mountain range: Sierra Nevada, Crystal Range
Here is a great shot of a blue mountain in SoCal.

There are Blue Mountains in Middle Earth, around which the Battle of the Sudden Flame was fought.

What position are The Flames taking on this Cuba business? I don't want to buck any trends.
Roger that? Frente unido, no?

Can you see it? Dominic, it's our future. Cuba. Ninety miles away, no godamn justice department, no FBI...
Hyman Roth, an investor living on his pension
Yes. We have Moe Green bananas today.
I loved Our Man in Havana by Graham Greene.
I've never had a Daiquiri, a fish taco, or a Havana cigar. I hate cigars, but they are just cigars.
What does this country need?
It might be a slippery slope going into Cuba. All those banana peels. We should have a rope and some protection if we do enter into some agreement with the former rebels. Or their kids & grandkids.
It has a good reputation for LARGE largemouths, I've heard.
Now I can believe the stories after seeing this video.

neebee,
You shouldn't have, but thanks.It is strange how things happen in "waves" around here.
We were discussing angels yesterday and who shows up in the snail mail today?
This mouse ornament with halo and a bell.
He's no angel, though, for he has no wings.
I suppose he figures he can cop wings by ringing the bell enough times.
What he's actually accomplishing For others who have died and gone to heaven is beyond belief...
unless you're a fan of Frank Capra's wonderful movie. (I forget the title.)
Angel Wings.
Future fancy Festus feast for some peckish raptor.
"I think you-know-who saw us." "Ack! Let's beat wings!"
Capra was no genius, but I think that Hawks was one.
http://www.google.com/#q=list+of+Howard+Hawks+movies
I had a Happy Bird Day this morning.
No kidding. A couple good shots while watching the birdies--NOT a gift because it took a long time standing in the window waiting.
And waiting.
A new calendar from the Historical Society for 2015.
A new pair of warm gloves from Shelley in the office downstairs.
Another Christmas card (this makes two, one from that Michigan angel and the trad one from Aunt Marg in Redding).
This ornament.
I'm also guaranteed a ride on the second of January to Fresno VA for a pulmonary function test and they want to discuss a defibrillator or pacemaker...uh-oh, nobody said a word about this, the doctor wrote me a letter. I'm sure glad I'm not pregnant.
Hey, the ornament DOES have wings, after all! Either I didn't see them before (my eyes are 'slowing' with age, see), or it's some minor miracle on N Street.
EDIT: I can't live with having this tree-topping bird's identity being in question. What I thought was a hawk when I made its photo may not be one at all, now that I've cleaned up my images folder from yesterday and have had a night's refreshing sleep of four hours.
And so, I must issue an apology to the birders out there, and am calling for an identity. All our probs should be this small, but MEA CULPA, MEA CULPA. mfm

weejust appreciated seeing weej's finger again
'slient partner' saw it too
but he's a swede across from a turn-up and a rootabooger
unlike strawberries
all this leepering into space requires
is to be faithful to one's other inner self
he hears voices which like him
u take a leap lover's faith away
and replace it with trust, crust,
and a yen for some 'tang or other
but that requires definition
and nobody has access to weej's personal dictionary
i'm not up in the air how i feel
i feel with my fingers
and i envy the fuelish man
who persists with the inventage of words
in spite of the spell chucker in his pewter
all those red squigglies can't make him retrack
his train goes somewhere special
at midnight or five a.m.
it's always on time
depot boy is never too deep
and he's never too high
just like the forked ribber
which he lives near bye
if he were hermetically zealed in a scarphogasus
he'd still find a way to go climb
and stew and spew on supertoopoo
gald to have u on board
the the special express to noplace special
is boarding on track 4 at 4:20
it don't matter if u are late
or have no bread to feed the bear
just sty where u are and it'll show
yes
it's coming
and then going
in or out
2 or from
1 of these daze
we'll meet and share some Tang or other liberations
till then keep spraying to the commie beetlejohn linen
he'll keep ur word-turds
streamin' by
euell be able to keep on pluckin' gems
from that stream of un-consequence
many parts of speeches are full of hiddenness
but many parts of those parts are legible
thousands hide in desoulation wilderness
and so 'tis no wonder u live where u doo-doo
typing is dry work durin' a drought
iwannabeer comes knockin'
easin' silent whispers under the door to my upper rheum
but i'm ignorin' the bastion and tryin' my best
to have an honest conservation here
f u f u don't mind u fing pisstiche of excuses
4 u i have no uses
i haven't need for liver disease
which'll killya
i hope i die screamin' fallin'
in a silent night of stars and galaxies
it's a quick end to a long OT thread
and beats the f out of dyin' in bed

Might as well ,by that I mean that to get a compliment wrapped in
But weepy, Moose hurt as that was not hard to find.
three o'clock in the morning the girl I would marry and the girl that played the roll of Gaurd Chick and I are driving down or actually up the Kankamangus Highway in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.
Heading north at this time of the adventure I get to try and cop some sleep if not an enjoyable cuddle curled up in the back seat.
Gaurd chick is with me and The Girl is driving.
As I and the stout one get to rubbing, she groping, the car slows and stops.
What?.
Are we Busted ? it was the innocent cuddle ing of ex Es and still both of us
she, and to a much lesser degree I, . . . pulled apart.
HMm made me think . . .
She . . . might may be like Like LOVE Me That Way!
WHY was she stopping the car?
Was she going to tell us . . .
Get A Room!
or
are you guys going to go through with it ?!
Did this mean that my shot was shot before I got the gun loaded?
Why did she stop the car?
. . . . . .
Hoofs on pavement, even the velvet coated pods of A moose, are unmistakable.
The shadow the size of the car , a small wagon, had been following along side for half an hour?
The whole time that Deliela and I were feeling in slow motion the car had been going slower and slower!
We , all three had an uncomfortable laugh.
My girl was scared of the shadow that was trotting along just off the snuggle corner of the car.
Now that we were stopped the cow moose was sniffing the car.
We opened a window and the moose stuck her head in !,
so and so can you guess
I have had A three some for the ages
A hot blond(who just might?)
A stout, groping, Irish red head (we were done)
And a Moose (well... her head came all the way)
In the window moose drool!

See CosmicCragsman with his hand-crafted sure-to-please-the-pickiest-boogers on the make for kleen ex-es or winders kind of peeps.
It's too bad he hasn't marketed it.
Peeping, China capital of the World, has lots of dirty smutty winders.
He'd make billions and billions
(of Chinese wake up earlier because they might see the sunruse through a clean pain of glass).
CosmicCragsman-o-man Collation & Blast-the-Glass Winder Wonder. It's also a potent chick magnet...but I'm not sayin' it will replace moose antlers as an afro-dizzy act. Moose look strange out of place and time with afros, even though they have no defecate of funk.

Moose saliva is easily removed from window glass.
Watching a funky moose get down is not that easy to remove 'fro the psyche.

Roddy Jackson in the center of things as usual.
There is an "elephant in the room" in the form of a B-52 or KC-135 tanker.
For what it's worth, I'm in Middle Earth for the simple fact that I know it well, and my sentimental fondness is being gradually replaced by something greater.

Cat-o-licks make up 90% of that stuff. I got that from a irroofutable* source.
Here is Scene Roofus doing Stray Cat Strut while making it look cool.
Notice the careful choreography, the elaborate attention to detail, and the expressiveness of the feline face.
