The Case of the Disappearing Eighth
-or-
The Color of Stasis
What’s the strain, Honey Bun?
Some jar aroma, not potent. Some stickiness from breaking up bud for grinding. Nice chunky buds, a little dry. No inner seal. Their Bureau jars have a rubber ring under the lid but it’s not as effective as a properly applied wafer-style stick-on seal. I’ve also gotten Revolution/Tales & Travels flower in Illinois with the same jars, and the same result.
Nice grind. Even, no shell/seed parts. Good green color.
Better jar appeal than the Twenty Twenty Melonade. More smell on the Honey Bun, stickiness.

The Honey Bun is good. Solid base high leading at times to crazy zany but legitimate writing ideas/scenes/sketches.
The smoke had a spicy menthol flavor; was a bit sweet maybe.
Jays. Carry. Zingy even now smoked…two hours ago? Maybe 90 minutes.
Is it the Nigerian in here? A la Velvet Glove, an Illinois “indica” by Columbia Care / Seed & Strain that buzzed me this way. Or Cresco’s Rollins, which also draws its lineage from the Nigerian landrace. I have purchased two eighths of Rollins. One held some of the raciest sativa flower I’ve ever smoked, the other didn’t get me all that high. You pays your money, and you takes your chances.
The only other strain I’ve smoked that I know has Nigerian landrace in its lineage is the BK Satellite from Alien/Connected in Arizona. When I first wrote this entry in the notebook, I had only tried the Satellite once or twice but I’m recently back from a trip to Tucson where I thought I had some BK Satellite in my stash. Only I couldn’t find it; it wasn’t there. That’s what I call a disappearing eighth.
That might be the last Honey Bun I had rolled. It’s zingy.
The lack of next
allowed me to see now
we all know this, or
did know it, early
but then but then
but what what now
The hanging off the deck scene, comical, obviously not real. The wife goes to look for way to break the guy, her husband’s, fall.
Scarlet Tanager, or is it the Summer Tanager. Sighted. Red, not a cardinal. A second Honey Bun joint. The smoke is a little harsh but it hits.

Rolled up the last of the Honey Bun this morning.
Disappearing eighth!
Seriously, where did it all go?
Later in the day. I had a 91 Bacio followed by an Animal Face or maybe I found the lost Honey Bun, a halfie tossed, abandoned. Before I realized its worth. I remember tossing what I thought was an NF-1. Thought that’s what I was gonna spark up, then the wrapper said, “Honey Bun,” I was surprised but then it also made sense so I was both surprised and satisfied. I am high on Honey Bun my writing wants to go to chicken scratch. I want to race but I’ve written so much gibberish in notebooks. I am holding back the flow. The color of stasis. Sweep the canal, sponge the register. Cinch the foundation, like a slice of unfound cheese.

Smoked a Honey Bun whilst out hiking. I’m out at Farm. Eastern Miller County, Missouri. Took a bunch of photos. That lock of glades across the street. One leading to another for half a mile, maybe longer.
Then along the road a vehicle stopped and I wasn’t sure who was driving. I didn’t immediately recognize the man. He was in a white Chevy Silverado, the model year or era where the corners of the truck are somewhat rounded. Robert Jones. He used to drive a black Chevy Blazer. Take the man out of the vehicle, around here, and it’s hard for me to place.
He used to drive past Farm on his way into Dixon. He managed the auto parts store there. Thick beard. Now he’s working on a property farther down the road, on DD past the turnoff to Rinquelin. I know the place he is referring to. A new deck has been put on. Looks like a good spot.
He asked me if I was doing alright. I’m not sure why he asked me that. Maybe I looked lost. But I was just enjoying myself, and a joint of Honey Bun, walking on glades and looking for morel mushrooms. I didn’t find any morels. Yesterday I found a few. Big ones. Today all I found was a pleasant Honey Bun hiking high and some soothing, curious, picturesque glades not quite in the Missouri Ozark.
I’ll post a bunch of photos below. I would buy Honey Bun again.
Honey Bun lineage is: Honey B x Wedding Cake. Source: Seedfinder.eu. Wedding Cake is Triangle Kush x Animal Mints. Honey B is Nigerian x Love Potion. That’s the unusual side of this cross. Love Potion is G13 x Santa Marta Colombian Gold. G13 is the strain created by the U.S. government in a facility somewhere in Mississippi.

Smoked my last Honey Bun earlier. That stuff stood up. $20 eighth from Trinity St. James (Missouri). For real. Not mind blowing (what weed is?) but good, very good. I need to re-up. Not even sure when I smoked that Honey Bun. Two hours ago? I tip my cap. It’s now officially a Strain of the Year candidate.
