Today I got shot #2 of, uh, dried infected rodent brain tissue. “Japanese Encephalitis Virus vaccine is an inactivated vaccine derived from infected mouse brain.”
Suffering neither facial swelling nor respiratory distress, I rode my bike to the park to read The Miracle Life of Edgar Mint.
Then I met my dad at the bubble tea place for fun, chewy fun and fished a ‘bubble’ out for him to try. He said it was like a gummi bear with no flavor. Did you know that bubbles are tapioca pearls made from tapioca starch, processed from the bitter cassava plant?

Yikes, I had to become a blogger to comment and whoa! Now I’m out there.
All I wanted to say was:
Bubble Tea? Is it just tea with globs of tapioca floating in it? Is it a N’Orlens Thang?
Maybe I’ll google it.
Hi to Brother Chris. Are you a blogger too?
Love,

Hi Annie, Well! They don’t have bubble tea in CO? Yeah I’m a blogger now, thanx to my darlin’ dotter. I’ve been hanging out at the bubble tea place, and everybody is drinking this stuff, and dropping five dollar bills like used tissue. It is sort of oral fun, I guess, but out of my budget. I think Crystal is a pistol, don’t you, Annie? Love, big bro

By the way, the tapioca bubbles don’t float, they sink and you’ve gotta’ suck them out with a large caliber (.38 or so?) pink drinking straw. They’re fun to chew, but cost about .15 each or so to put into your tea which isn’t really tea either, at least the way they make it here. Has something to do with milk. So, like many things in life, it’s called one thing but is really something else. And I think that’s called marketing?
Love,
Chris
