OK, I need to know if I know anyone who's ever had a "Farmers Coke". They mention it's drunk in North Carolina. I've never heard of this, and now I need to see if I have any peanuts in the house.

Someone uploaded all the Jeffery Epstein documents to Gmail clone and it's awesome. JMail, JPhotos, there's a Drive, and JFlight section as well. Very well done. https://www.jmail.world/

End of an era. The Black in Ocean Beach is closing after 57 years. I lived in OB, and The Black was a landmark. A piece of San Diego counterculture that somehow survived all the changes around it. Gonna miss that place.
