Speaking of drugs...

I am visiting my favorite coffee shop in Tempe, AZ, sitting outside because it is blissfully cool this morning.

I like this place. Eclectic people. Very diverse, very inclusive. I'm a cranky white male hetero libtard, some sort of outlier here.

Next door is a storefront named The Pigeon Coop. They have a meeting schedule posted. Three to five meetings every day. It's vague.

I looked them up. The meetings are AA, CA, HA, and a few other types. I looked up the acronyms, and it makes sense.

I thought of all the people that come here, acknowledging they have a bad problem, determined to make a better existence.

I started thinking of the former Mrs PDL. She died alone, thinking she could handle it. She was wrong.

We need these kinds of helpful places, even if they are imperfect. People are fragile and also amazingly resilient.

What we don't need is vulnerable, struggling people being demonized, mistreated or incarcerated.

It's a great morning to be alive. More kindness.

The real reason they are taking it off the shelf is not because it’s ineffective. What they don’t want you to know is that it’s a cure for Covid. How does it cure Covid? Well, now you’ve gone beyond my expertise.
