No sugar, just spice, and not very much that is nice

 


It is National Herbs and Spices Day, but I didn't really have a t-shirt design to go with it. It did make me think of the book (and movies) Dune and the spice planet Arakis. I read most of the Dune series and saw both the David Lynch movie and the latest versions.  The more recent movie version was probably truer to the book since David Lynch can't help but be well...David Lynch.  I always got a kick out of the way Paul Atreeides was given the Fremen name Muad'Dib in the movie with the Fremen leader dramatic stating, "We will call you Muad'Dib." I thought he was saying Moabdib and for years that was my go to password until it was compromised on the Dark Web. 

But I digress. National Herbs and Spices Day also reminds me (as if I could forget it) that I've stopped eating carbs and sugar and anything that tastes half way decent.  

Growing old sucks.
