Root beer is an acquired taste I guess! So is Dr Pepper but in the Texas/NM
area it seems to be the cats pajamas. (always wanted to slip that into a

Yup "cats pajamas" is rather good; sort of rolls off the tongue in a
satisfying sort of way.
These tastes are very much bound up with one's childhood; have you ever
tried "Marmite"? I was brought up
on it (its a sort of yeast extract); most people who do not come from
the British Isles can't stand it.
Here in Bulgaria there is a drink called 'Boza' which can best be
described as fermented oatmeal porridge;
just watching my wife drinking the stuff gives me the creeps; it's meant
to be very good for you,
all sorts of vitamins and so forth; but I'm just too culture-bound to go
near the stuff.
Walking isn't quite the relaxer for me it would be otherwise due to various
complications but a nice drive or nap can serve the purpose.
The flowers here are sparse year round. Southern NM desert. When we hit a
bloom cycle all the little desert flowers are very cool but they tend to
not last very long. Luckily my hard has some nifty roses (at the expense of
LOTS of water) as well as a dead hibiscus. (didn't expend enough water, had
a nasty cold snap this winter, was just too much for the poor thing)
I have lived in 3 desert regions (all in the Middle East) so am fairly
well up on hibiscus
and the sudden flowering of the desert after rain.
"Root Beer" or "Root User" ? . . . :)
In my 3 years in the USA I could never quite get used to the taste of Root
Beer.
But, then, Sasparilla left me a bit cold as well.
I do, however, remember with quite considerable pleasure the efforts of
one "Samuel Adams".
Round here the Lily-of-the-valley has just come out, paradoxically just
after the Lilacs have finished.
A good, fairly "push-yourself" walk is often, I find, the best way to get
one's head round a programming
problem - as far away from a computer as possible.
