"Dirty almond milk treehugger", the woman said to the other woman.
No, they weren't arguing, and no, this wasn't said to possibly insult an environmentalist. Magnum and I went on a coffee bike ride this morning, and this was another customer's order to the barista. Neither of us had any idea what she'd ordered as we sat sipping our medium roast drips. Such boomers.
But speaking of tree hugging, we were up on our land yesterday. Huggable trees are pretty sparse, as I've mentioned the place is still recovering from a 2012 wildfire. Our kids were all with us to help dig out some trails.
While I hiked around, continuing to get my bearings of the place, I came upon this bit of greenery

I thought it looked almost like cannabis, but not quite. I'm no expert, though, so I googled. Nope, it's not weed, but a weed: common cinquefoil. I read that its leaves can be used in salads or as a common pot herb, so that's the only relation to "pot".
One day last week at the college, I was in the student center and stopped to read a few of the "insPAWrations" students tacked up at the end of spring semester.
As we headed out, we had to pull over to let a fire truck and ambulance go by. Some medical emergency for one of our neighbors. As it's out in the boonies, it's good to know the EMS people can make it up there, but I hope the person is all right. No word of it from the online group. The only new discussions have to do with cute bears roaming around and tactics for getting rid of mice.
It was a good productive time, but we didn't stay too long as it was quite hot out, plus people had places to go. I'm coming off some lower back crap, so I purposely didn't do much of the heavy work. I played supervisor and did some lightweight stuff when I wasn't traipsing around looking at possible marijuana.

Many seemed a bit trite, and I suspect they were possibly put up there by administrators to get the ball rolling. But in my brief perusal, I picked a favorite:
Hmm, what is my one thing? What's yours?
I'll leave it here and wish everyone a Whole Assing week ahead.
"Dirty almond milk treehugger" is going to be my go-to insult from now on. But I don't always work half-slow, sometimes I work half-fast.
ReplyDeleteAh, I have encountered people in cars who drive half-fast.
DeleteI like the 1/2 Ass Full Ass suggestion, so True. *winks* It did look like Weed at a quick glance on your new Land. *Ha ha ha* The Dirty Almond Milk Treehugger, I'd qualify, even if I wasn't ordering said drink from a Barista. *Smiles*
ReplyDeleteI thought we could possibly have a little ganja grove, but no.
Delete"Dirty Almond Milk Treehugger" could apply to me as well :)
Well I for one love Dirty Almond Milk Treehugger. I wanna see the person who picked up that order!
ReplyDeleteDirth Almond Milk Treehugger sounds interesting. I wonder what's in it besides coffee and almond milk! That cinquefoil does look somewhat like marijuana. Happy 4th of July weekend!
ReplyDeleteI use the whole ass saying. lol.
ReplyDeleteGlad they were able to help someone out in the boonies. Hope the person/persons helped are okay and safe.
Been making fun lattes at home.
