Patchouli...Pot...Pizza and Politics...

 

Our Hippie Getaway...


Complicated by the fact Marshall voted down the dispensary...and necessitated a drive onward to Effingham....lol...

We are nothing if not resourceful!

And the dispensary was "...not your local head." It almost had a respectability about it...and a steady stream of customers from neo-hippies to business suits and grandma and grandpa.

When the side door opened strains of Billy Idol, Led Zeppelin, and Elton John poured out.

After perusing the merchandise...which you could smell long before you could see..we settled on a chocolate bar edible.

Its 100 mg. was more than enough.

With a patchouli candle (...the official smell of hippies circa 1970-1980's) and tie dye...a gas station pizza and the GOP Debates we started our adventure.

(...planks...seriously????)

The chocolate edible....delicious...and not the THC of the 70's.

Not pot brownies.

Slower to work...but nicely stoned stupid...like being wrapped in a safe warm cocoon...even if walking was out of the question...lol.

And amazingly free of all pain for at least four hours...which was very very nice.

The pizza...underwhelming.

The politics...omg...when Haley and Christie made more sense than any of them...it is time to turn the debates off.

(...planks?????? Seriously????)


 And like Poison reminds us

"Ain't looking for nothin' but a good time...and it don't get better than this."

                                  

  It was a wonderful adventure, guy!

 

Busy week...

 

Emma turned 17...and had Sisters Day yesterday with Tina. Pizza and brownies...Moscato and political discourse. It was wonderful.

 



Autumn is already creeping in at Brooks Falls.

And 151 (Walker) is not only around..


but also ROUND.

Becoming a serious contender for the Fat Bear Contest.

Fall is quickly approaching, here, as well.

The Summer Garden is spent...and my marigolds and sunflowers have a good start.

The fireflies are gone...but the geese and crows are back and noisy.

Ditto for the cicadas...which are obnoxious.

In less than a week it will be time to change the decor over to Fall!

As of tonight...pre-season is over...

 

Let The Games begin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
