The leaves are still pretty green here.
:(. Sorry, Fall colors there are spectacular.... but then again, you live where people come to see them. Years ago, my parents and another couple went and drove all over NH on a “Fall foliage “ tour.

    You can have some of ours today. We are having a freak cool down today and it's only supposed to get up to mid to high 40's. First really cold day we've had.

    We finally got some cooler temps and lower humidity move in a few days ago. It was 90's (and even 100) up until then. Was sooooo tired of it. This weather has been a Godsend.

    Are you going to Lookout Mtn, ruby falls or any of those?

    Don't drink too much sweet tea since you don't like sweet flavors. Sweet tea is more like syrup. Don't know how I drank that growing up.
    I’ve lived in the South most of my life, don’t do sweet tea. If you order tea, you a syrupy sweet version. You have to ask for “unsweet tea”. I’ve gotten over people looking at me like I have two heads for not wanting it sweet. Daughter #2 lives in the mountains of East Tennessee, I swear their sweet tea is 10xs sweeter than what you get in Alabama or Georgia. When we went for her graduation from her Masters, the restaurant brought me hot tea with double bags and a big glass of ice. They didn’t even have unsweetened tea!

    We have one day of “cool weather” tomorrow... mid to high 70’s. Other than that, mid to high 80’s and high humidity. Beats last weeks 90s, but what I wouldn’t give for some cool Fall weather! Y’all enjoy it for me please.

    I've never been a sweet tea drinker. I can stand a little sugar and prefer some lemon in it but honestly hardly ever drink tea. However, I do go through about a pot a day by myself of coffee.

    I grew up with that sweet tea so when I moved to WA and ordered tea, I said you forgot the sugar. Waitress looked at me like I had two heads and said, there are sugar packets on the table. lol
    Word has it you have two heads so she probably was looking at you as if you had three heads.

    I just read that real flavors is closing. I'm glad now that I only ever tried a couple of theirs so I won't really be missing anything. Also, I guess ecigexpress is changing names or something. I don't know if they'll continue to sell flavors or not.

    I don't think that Real Flavors is closing solely because of the flavor ban. They had suspended retail sales online, selling exclusively to resellers and wholesale customers. That was probably a big mistake since the flavor bans don't have any effect on flavors that are just flavors that can be used in baking, candy making, etc. Losing wholesale customers because of the flavor ban would have a negative effect.

    BCF did it the right way after the deeming regulations came out. They changed their name and dropped nicotine and other mixing related products. That was smart business. ECX and other flavor sellers can survive if they follow the BCF model. It kind of surprises me that more didn't act earlier to protect themselves from being associated with e-liquids.

    Yes, it is ridiculous but exactly what part of government isn't pretty ridiculous these days? *sigh*

    I get the feeling that vendors never thought this would actually happen. I remember asking a few back n 2016 about their plans/concerns and most just blew me off. Same with vape shop folks.

    OSDIY removed any references to vaping and/or eliquids from their website almost 3 years ago. Got rid of most of their tobacco flavorings through their Clearance section since then, too. Kimberly said the only ones they'll keep selling are some RY4 types that are used to make a candy that's very popular in Colorado, especially around the holidays.

    I've been to Ruby Falls. About 30 years ago, but I've been there. :)
