		<description>Okay Elizabeth,




Then we should convert your weed into &lt;i&gt;cannabis butter!&lt;/i&gt; which you can spread on bread or a cracker or just eat it straight — it tastes meh, not bad. Details to follow…





Meanwhile, this ain’t Elvis but it’s a cool song to wake up to &lt;a href=&quot;“&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Back To Life (Acapella)&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>Not sure why that last one didn&#039;t open in a new tab. I did the target=&quot;_blank&quot; attribute. One more try at that.

Different track, but not really.
Came across this and thought, &quot;Oh, that&#039;s how Alice&#039;s Restaurant Masacree&quot; happened. Now it really makes sense.&quot;

&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkAxuqrVNBM&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Talking Dustbowl Blues&lt;/a&gt;

Anyway, that&#039;s my musical contribution to the party.</description>

		<description>I think that was the greatest labor tune since the Woody Guthrie, Weavers days. It&#039;s also one of my favorite.

Next, I&#039;ll open it in a new tab. Forgot to do that.
My Dad used to walk around the house singing this when it came out. One of the dumbest ever, but when I remembered it and played if for my wife, she called it &quot;sticky.&quot;

		<description>Hey EM

I tried offering you these a few weeks back. One at a time, this time (three). I&#039;m gonna see if I can code the first one correctly.

&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D77dbv-xNfE&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt; Working Class Hero&lt;/a&gt;

Wow, it&#039;s been a while. Hope it works.</description>

		<description>G&#039;nite ... my stuff doesn&#039;t look so good anymore so I better not send it. I should probably just toss it. Besides, I HATE smoking. Looking forward to more tunes!</description>

		<description>K, Momma!





I’m up at 0620 so soon to bed. Those are two of my go-to Elvis tunes. But I’ll walk the Husky-Wolf Betty…and you will awaken to a couple more selections. Not hard to find tunes to spin when yer talking The King.





G’Nite! Happy Belated New Year, unless you Canucks celebrate Orthodox New Year haha.

		<description>Elizabeth, you really should hold onto your weed and rehydrate it! I’m guessing it dried out and therefore smoked harshly, and unless you smoke ciggies that would make all the difference.



To rehydrate put the weed in a film canister or some other more or less airtight container that the weed mostly fills. 







Toss in a ~2cm x ~2cm piece of lettuce/carrot/celery and check it after 4 to 6 hours. 







Let it be until the weed is close to it’s fresh of the shelf moisture and bouquet.







 Works every time and worth the tiny effort involved.



**





Me, at almost any hour I can walk around the corner and get one of the multiple growers that I know here in Green Valley Lake and he will front me an ounce of the killer for $100IFUSD.**









**Imaginary Future USD

		<description>I don&#039;t know about y&#039;all but I&#039;m feelin&#039; like some Elvis tonight ... be back after dinner with all my favourites. Hoping everyone will play some, too!

Another &lt;b&gt;CW Sunday Night Music Festival and, ah, Gyrating Dance Party&lt;/b&gt; is about to get underway.

Don&#039;t miss it! :-)</description>

		<description>I put a lot of stock in the things that Michael Moore says. 

He rang the alarm that the Dems were taking the upper midwest for granted in 2016 and said that Fat Donny was going to win.

In October, he said that there would be no red wave, it was gonna be Roevember.

MM now predicts that the new GQP House majority will not last 2 years. Their insanity will drive members in Biden-leaning districts to change parties, some will die or find better jobs, and then there&#039;s George Santos. 

Obsession with conspiracy theories and election lies will make it difficult for them to win special elections.

Let&#039;s hope he&#039;s right again.</description>

		<description>She doesn&#039;t deserve the MDDOW, but perhaps the most disappointing news *about* a Democrat was Sen. Stabenow&#039;s announcement that she won&#039;t seek re-election.

IMO the most under-reported story of the 2022 mid-term elections was the power of incumbency; even the most incompetent and ineffectual Republicans sailed to re-election, up and down the ballot. I haven&#039;t seen any chart or statistic of how many incumbents were re-elected, but I&#039;m certain it&#039;s in the high 90%.

		<description>Happy New Year, everyone!

Here&#039;s hoping the subsequent FTPs for 2023 are as solid as this one. 

I couldn&#039;t agree more about the MIDOW - unless you were to award it to the *entire* Democratic caucus.  After all, any one of them could have pulled a &#039;Goetz&#039;. Instead, each and every one of them acted like an elected representative of our great nation.</description>

		<description>My latest hmmm question now that we know who the Speaker is (for however long that lasts).

Most of the &quot;promises&quot; that were made do require a majority of the R caucus to be kept. E.g. Gavels and Committee assignments &amp; rules changes.

Let&#039;s face it, why would someone who &quot;earned&quot; a Committee gavel (same as KM &quot;earned&quot; the Speakership) agree to letting one of the whackjobs take their gavel?

What if the NUR (Not Unreasonable Republicans) group simply didn&#039;t vote for what KM agreed to? What could the whackjobs do exactly?

They might be able to vacate the Speaker&#039;s seat again, and...

Like most of my hmmms, I haven&#039;t a clue how that plays out.</description>

&lt;i&gt;Is it just me, or did McCarthy&#039;s speech this evening sound just a little Bidenesque? &lt;/i&gt;

Which part? I couldn&#039;t stop laughing toward the end wherein Kevin proclaims:

&lt;blockquote&gt;
If we let everybody in the boat; if we row in the same cadence together, there is no obstacle this body can overcome for this nation. 

~ Kevin McCarthy &lt;/blockquote&gt;
*
I&#039;d be lying if I said I didn&#039;t spew. 

I agree there is no obstacle we can overcome under this idiot&#039;s leadership. Poor Dumb Kevin (again) says the quiet part out loud. :)</description>
