...absinthe recently relegalized in the US
does this mean the "green hour" will return?

bought some absinthe tea more than 20 years ago, a bulk
package - still have almost all of it.
amazingly bitter.  right up there with yellow gentian root:
one little tiny granule of that stuff will make a cup of
water bitter, but wormwood has something even beyond that...

what is the antipode of Tunguska?

location of the event:
60 kilometres westnorthwest of Vanavara, at 60°55' N, 101°57'E
therefore the antipode would be
60 degrees 55 minutes South, 78 degrees 3 minutes West --
which is a little southwest of Tierra del Fuego if I've
done this right...
