Well, it was either the Grays conducting another one of their missile
tests. Or yet another of their frakking secret weapons, as if we don't
have weapons enough of our own without using ones devised by murderous
space aliens.

Or it may have been the Arcturans beaming peace and love everywhere
trying to get us to a higher consciousness. It's all very well sharing
the love if you can be, like, ethereal at will, but somebody needs to
take them to one side and explain how things are, you know.

I'm not sure which group of extraterrestrials I find more annoying,
truth be told.

Best wishes

Are you on drugs? There wasn't no buddha angle in that story.

The temperance assholes here are ramping up the campaign now.
There was a TV docu the other night about marijuana use among
skyscraper workers. They were playing up the "stoned equals
unsafe" angle but of course provided no evidence for it,
relying instead on popular assumptions which among non-users
amounts to having alcohol as the only reference point. I can
think of at least three industries where mary jane enjoys
widespread use on the job: construction, trucking and
marijuana farming. It probably makes all three safer on
average. Hell, I wouldn't even mind if my pilot had a toke
so long as I knew he could handle it. I guess that's the
problem. Like alcohol we generally find out who can handle
it and who can't *after* something has happened. Maybe we
need a licensing system for drugs. Prove you can handle
them and you can buy them and use them to keep you calm and
patient while lifting 5 tonnes of steel 39 floors above a
busy city street.

The one I got behind one time who sat through an entire light when she
could've turned right on red, then sat through the green until I honked
two or three times, then finally moved off at 25 miles an hour down the
freeway, was sportin' a bumper sticker which read,

"I <3 TM".

Of course, back in the '70s, six of us realized we were doing 30 in a 70

I once went through three red lights in Portland because I got green
confused with red in my mind. Luckily it was lat at night and no traffic. I
learned at a young age that for me personally, being stoned is no different
than being drunk. The colors are just prettier.

Sanford will never, ever live that moment down. On the memorial stone
on his grave it will read,

"Here he lies.

He fought for freedom in airforce intelligence. But do they call him
Sanford the Freedom Fighter? No they don't.

He built a huge retail business, but do they call him Sanford the
Store Manager? No they don't.

He saved millions from the great hunger by devising new ways to feed
Florida. But do they call him Sanford the Food Giver? No they don't.

He plays with the private parts of one stone dog, just once in Central
Park, and you know what they call him?

Sanford the Central Park Dog Statue guy. Yes, that guy is buried
here."


Might need a big memorial.
