Solany

The north-eastern part of Czech R. is carved into by coal mines and eaten by power plants. The rest of it is agricultural fields full of sugar beets, corn, grains and poppies for poppy seed. I went to deliver some Arizona sage to a Czech woman, Katka, in Solany. I arrived just in time to watch her, her Norwegian-Czech partner and their summer helper mixing clay in bathtubs for ongoing roof repair on their old brick factory abode. Summer helper was so energized by the spa-like mud, he took a bath in it.
