It appears that with the dropping temperatures come rising expectations to have our fireplace working tomorrow. They should have our covered porch done tonight. You know one of the things I like to do socially is smoke weed. I always have. However, with the pandemic and the New Abnormal, I don’t want to die to death. So, what I do is travel with little mini-pouches with a nice bowl in them. Then my friends and acquaintances can all enjoy with a device of their own choosing.
Remember buying “lids” for 10 bucks? You got anywhere from ¾ oz. to 1 ¼ oz. of cheap Mexican weed depending on how stoned or how cool your dealer was. There was this one board game (for stoners only!) and I think it was one word (drug term) like stash for example. I’m gonna take a second, Google it, and be right back.
Scam.
That is the name of the game.
I was involved in an epic game of Scam with my best buddy in Tucson, Arizona in the early seventies. Mike and I got involved in an all-day game which saw us drink forty-one beers between us. We were playing the game with real pot and cocaine, and then Mike went home.
Evidently, I did not quite make it upstairs and settled for a very awkward contortion right on the stairs and directly under the air-conditioning vent.
You guessed it.
My girlfriend comes home and sees me splayed all over the stirs, dead to the world, and cold as ice.
She freaked.
Now I am on the record, if you have seen enough of my blogs (this is number 402!) as having really died on three occasions, but I don’t count this one.
But I did think it was funny.
To me.
This girl was nothing but great to me, and would later exact her revenge by Leaving Me in Las Vegas (sounds like a movie).
I deserved it.
I am practicing and just plain having fun everyday with my guitar and I’m getting psyched to go play out again.
I read where a Russian submarine ran into a British warship.
Now, stay with me here. How fucking hard is it to put a submarine in the Atlantic Ocean and not run into a Royal Navy ship?
You had ONE job.
I went to get measured for my next step up, so to speak, in a prosthetic leg.
I can’t wait and I am so ready to golf in spring. That’s also when I will decide on either a pool or spa for the backyard.
As Monday approaches, the best two college football teams in the nation will play for the National Championship.
From what I have seen, ‘Bama just has Georgia’s number.
Saban.
My expert prediction is Alabama 35 Georgia 17.
With these frigid temperatures, be safe out there.
Stay well.
