“It’s 420,” Julie said to me at the pool.
After she had said it at least 15 times to all of us, I asked what it meant.
“It’s the number of the marijuana initiative,” she said.
“I have no idea what you are talking about,” I replied.
“It’s also the number the cops use to call in a marijuana problem.”
“So?” I said shrugging. “I was a failure as a pot head. One hit and I was sound asleep for the duration.”
I’m also a failure today as a drug addict as I had no idea what she was talking about. Even George didn’t have the faintest idea. Heartening.
- Himself: He was hot night before last so he changed all the bedding. Costco last night. Slept well. Working hard this morning.
- Herself: If I could forget it, I forgot it this day Today I am vastly better. Got the ingredients for “The Chew’s” Roasted Buttermilk chicken and the baby arugula salad too..
- Reading: DE Stevenson’s “Mrs Tim Get’s a Job.” I so like these characters. The new Jance is next.
- Gratitude’s: That my brain seems to be sharper today.

That buttermilk chicken recipe did look very good.
Just being in the same room with pot smoke (which was often unavoidable in college back in the 70's) used to make me physically ill, so I never tried ingesting it.

420 is a big deal for high school students. They talk about it and write 420 graffitti on things. Attendance at school is sketchy in the afternoon. If marijuana is legalized in Canada next year they will have to find other things to protest.

Never heard of it. Why was she bringing it up in the first place?

Actually, it is a date. April 20th. It is a day celebrated with open marijuana use in Denver... Big thing in these parts....

I was a dedicated pot smoker eons ago and I had no idea either. Not on my radar anymore, altho JH is still an occasional. I like that the tax money can be used to great advantage tho.

Oh gosh, if it was from the counterculture, I did it. Liquid, solid or gaseous.
If I only knew then what I know now, eh?
I'd go back and kick my 25-year-old self in the ass.
I'm very happy you're better!
