In this food review, granddaughter Tillie pronounced Columbia's donut house, located beside the old Circle R, as serving "top tier Boba." She and her sister cousin Hailey are tasting their way across the USA to find the best. Taro tea is how Boba is listed on the Best Donuts menu board, with a main ingredient of that root vegetable. Taro is a widely cultivated species of several plants in the family Araceae that originated in Taiwan in the early 1980s. Boba, or Bubble tea, most commonly consists of tea accompanied by chewy tapioca balls, but it can be made with other toppings as well, such as grass jelly, aloe vera, or red bean according to Wikipedia.

Sharon says, "On a recent evening with every last bit of kibble consumed, this bully boy was inspired to show off. He swung a bit clumsily onto the horizontal porch railing, got a good grip and shimmied up to peer at us from the angle of the bracing.

His descent was lacking in grace, and he huddled for a moment getting his bearings before scuttling towards the sanctuary of the woods."
