re: #92 Fourth Football of the Apocalypse

No, I’m Dave, man….

I (rarely, but) sometimes get nostalgic for the days of Cheech and Chong, $35 ozs. of “Columbian Gold,” separating the seeds on a double album, and all. But I left that in the early 1980s.

Today I watched the HBO doc “Cape Cod, USA” about the opioid and heroin epidemic that is now rightly getting so much attention. We moved to northern New England just about three years ago, and the thing has exploded. The young people who were using in the doc (and two died during and just after the filming) were athletes, scholars, happy sons and daughters, for the most part. Most took pills in school first. It was just so fucking sad. It is fucking sad.

All that said, I’d be lying (and be a hypocrite) if I didn’t add that I’d be sorely tempted to try weed again if it were legalized here. Nice example for the kiddies, though.///
