After a week-long bout with a body-ache flu, complicated by a strained
sciatic muscle, I was tired of every cough feeling like someone hit my back
with a hammer. The Tylenol 3 tablets weren't much good; alcohol worked
much better, but that has its practical limitations. What to do ...
I mixed a little batch of massage oil blend (peanut, olive, lanolin,
almond) with ground red savina from Mr. Campbell's field - about 3
teaspoons in a 8-oz bottle. Apply to the muscle (from the lower spine,
across the top of my butt to the hip) and wash hand immediately. Wait and
see.
(Yes, fellow knuckledragggers, I did scratch my butt while I was thinking
about it)
The effect is more subtle than I expected - a gentle warmth and a
noticeable local pain-killing effect. Sort of a glow to take your
attention away from the muscle pain. Smells like a marzipan candy from
Hell.
Speaking of Mr. Campbell, he wrote:

Well, if the Senate wants to depose me, they had better disable every smoke
detector in the Capitol... that's about as political as I'm going to get
here.
Serioulsy, I've been looking forward to the firey foods festival in Madison
IN (along the Ohio River, near Cinci) ever since the last one. It's a good
time in a small winery in an old historic downtown. I hope to camp in
Clifty Falls State Park again, but this year I'll have the Outback that I
was waiting on last year. And Jim, I've got the hang of that black box
grill, so I can also maple-smoke or hickory-smoke some meats on the
sidewalk.
Now I have about two months to devise some fiendish way to assault these
good people with peppers. I already plan to bring samples of the Red
Problem #1 sauce made from Jim's habaneros, but there must be something
more, something new.
