Random Tidbits
4. Brain Strain Pepper.
The name of number four on our list says it all. Yet another variant of the
7-pot pepper, the "Brain Strain" approaches the 2 million Scoville
mark, making it one of the headiest capsaicin bombs known to humankind.
5. Pot Primo Pepper.
Weighing in at number five is the Pot Primo, a hybrid between the original
7-pot pepper and the Naga Morich. It can reach heat levels of 1.9 million
Scoville heat units.
6. 7-Pot Douglah
Pepper. The 7-pot Douglah, also called the "Chocolate 7-pot," is
a dark purplish brown. That's where the resemblance to chocolate ends, however,
as this little pepper boasts a whopping 1.8 million heat units.

My Rambling Thoughts
A windy day. A hot day. With little to do, I cleaned
my oven and toaster.
I talked to my travel partner Ed last night. We are
going to do Tahiti in March of 2021. Bought the insurance; just in case this
virus is still going.
Headlines here and social media are blowing up with
the new information that AZ is the #1 global hotspot. Thankfully, Flagstaff is
a couple of shades lighter red than the Phoenix and Tucson areas. Still, not
the #1 I hoped for.
The opening of schools this fall are Trump’s latest
tirade…even the threat to stop Federal $$ to those districts that do not open
in August. For months he has left everything to the Governors, now he steps in.
If cases spike in the schools, he will blame it on________. Fill in the blank.
Trump announces end date for ties to WHO. 7/6/2021.
Plenty of time to change after the November elections.
