You never cease to amaze… More on your comment later but, as Buddha might say: Shopping. Must go. Now. Or is that Yoda-speak. Or both…

I’m outta here, before it’s too late…

Take care…, too.

Hearty laughter on this end…

I ended up with a last minute Christmas chore (for lack of a better word) and it’s thrown my whole day off. Any holiday responsibility when you normally do nothing for the holiday is a monkey-wrench of major proportion. I say that from a behavior mode verging on total sloth for the next few days.

I hope you (and the other Turleyblawger’s) get some rest and can usher in Christmas: 1. sitting on your butt, 2. mildly buzzed, and 3. smiling at all you’ve accomplished. If not, repeat steps one and two as often as necessary.

Take care of yourself.

lol… (a lotta that goin’ around… (sorry, lottakatz, I can’t help my fingers — they have a mind of their own at the moment… the “lottas” keep poppin’ up… )

Too much caffeine… Time to take care of some last minutes shopping before the stores close…

The small grower medical model is appealing to many unemployed but involves zoning issues. Neighbors complain about the traffic and there have been problems w people breaking in to steal the goods.

I have blogged a lot about my problems on Princeton Ave in Steamboat Springs. I lived next door to a city council president who had been convicted of conspiracy to sell hash. That was not publicly disclosed at the time and was denied by the police but fueled gossip. I heard that he was dealing years later but don’t know for sure.

Just because you eat meat doesn’t mean that you want a slaughterhouse next door. etc.

My perception at the time is that a lot of people were coming to my neighbors late at night. That bothered me because we lived on a dead end with no culdesac so my neighbor’s visitors turned around in my drive and their headlights and noise woke us up. Rightly or wrongly I worried that the reason that the city let him build extra buildings that weren’t allowed by the zoning was because he was supplying them.

One thought is that maybe wineries could grow pot too. They already have the zoning, they have the real estate buffer, they are familiar with licensing and control of sales etc.

Mendicino County CA is supposed to be a huge pot growing area. It also has a lot of wineries.

Yep. Makes no sense at all. Some people still few it as a gateway drug… and can’t get past it.

And that same alcohol is causing people to die maim one another disrupt families etc,etc.Get caught with a $10.00 bag of pot and you go to jail.Crazy.

Surely, these are strange times.

And what a long, strange trip its been.
