For some reason, the old Wildwood Weed song popped into my head

One of my brothers had the album on eight-track back in the seventies. Even my mom liked that song, and she was definitely not in favor of her boys smokin’ the wacky tobacky. 😎

I notice Evan seems extra snarky when writing about Kentucky. Is there a rivalry between Kentucky and Tennessee that brings this out? Or is it just that Comer is such a piece of shit?

Edit: It blows my fucking mind that there is a human being who looks like James Comer. He looks like if a character from a Mike Judge cartoon came to life.

Given Kentucky's proud and long tradition of homegrown tucked away in many a holler and backwood, I'm sure that shit just faded into the scenery like Homer into the hedge.

I don’t see how Comer did anything wrong here. But that might be because I’m high.

On the bright side, fans of Ronald Reagan’s death can celebrate exactly 20 years of Dead Gipper. I know we’ve got bigger problems now, but he’s still most dead and we are alive. And someday Stinky will join RR in superb deadness.

I worked for the State of California at the time. Word came down from on high from Mr. Big, Ahnuld, to lower the flags to half staff. I said fuck that, and just didn't even bother raising it in the morning. It was my job to delegate that task, rotating weekly. Caused an irreparable rift between my first line supervisor and myself. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Well done! I’d been romping around naked at Orr Hot Springs and didn’t get the happy news until it was two days old. That fuckin’ guy. Oh well, say nothing but good about the dead…

Yep. He's dead. Good.

At the time, I lived at Tecopa Hot Springs, on the other end of the state. Can't say enough good things about romping around naked at hot springs.

Ta, Evan. Sigh. I miss Carolyn Maloney (my former rep) as chair of Oversight. That said, Comer is comatose. Or should be.

"And thems was not just regular Chinese hemp seeds! Thems was CHINESE POT WEED DEVIL TOBACKY. Just fuckin’ full of THC, like 10 times the legal limit for hemp plants."

Somebody is going to HAVE to tell me why Kentucky Fried Comer is not LOCK HIM UP, with this clownery.

Especially given what VP Harris said to Jimmy Kimmel last night AND WE ALL KNOW there are Black kids still in Rikers for possession charges even though the **** is legal now.

Explain it to me like I'm five, now. Come on.

Mostly OT but just barely related topic:

Oral CBD has been, as far as I can tell, enormously oversold as a pain relief/well-being/whatever medication. (Anyone out there have good experiences with it?) But topical CBD is just the shit. I just smeared some CBD lotion on my arthritic knee, and it feels much better already. You can find it at smoke shops, many dispensaries, and maybe online? (Didn't check out that last one.)

i have all sorts of back, neck, shoulder, wrist pain (i am far more abusive to my body than my age would suggest). all my theatre friends (theatre + biking are the abuse) swear by all the CBD / gummies / joints but honest to god NOTHING works for me. occasionally i'll break down and get a massage but that's never 100% and anyway only temporary.

mostly i just drink red wine.

I've got some Papa&Barkley Releaf Balm. It's 1:3 THC rich, they say. My experience with it has been meh. About the same way I feel about oral CBD. Now there's CBN and CBG that I hear work better for pain. Next trip to the dispensary, I'll talk with the tender about it.

This is what I have currently: https://www.papaandbarkley.com/products/releaf-balms-1-3
