We’ve known eachother online for awhile in various contexts: internet stalker and stalkee, turned friends, turned online boyfriend and girlfriend.  Now you could consider us star-crossed lovers who because of our stubborn roots on opposite sides of the continent, have to settle for being creative business partners. You can read Scout’s verision of the story here: An Anarcho-Primitivist Romance, here: Week12: From Cave to Grave With Penny Scout, here: Whiskey in the Yarrow! and finally here: Week13: Smokin’ Peace With Penny. But really no blog can do the week justice. [...] [...] Another big thing that happened is Urban Scout came to visit me!

I had wondered about the 6 week thing, Penny, as I had read that somewhere else (susun weed, i think). Does the alcohol bother your skin at all, if you have to keep applying it every two hours? You rock, Scouts!

Shake it up whenever you think of it. Especially during the first week. Keep out of direct sunlight. Yeah, I let my tinctures sit 6 weeks for full strength. Shake it up whenever you think of it.
