Let's move ahead in time to the Seventies when I was a reporter/photographer for a newspaper in a rural county.
Farmers and gardeners were always turning up with weird vegetables they wanted photographed for publication all the time. Wowees quickly devolved into ho-hums.
Got to the point that the second two-headed calf I got to see was already a yawner.
About all that really impressed me was photographing the crime scene for marijuana plants that stood eight-to-12-feet tall. Now that blew my mind!
Well, me dino took that wad home, let it dry under the sun until it turned brown on top of a window air conditioner.
Then I smoked it in a pipe I used to smoke tobacco in By then I was a full time cigarette smoker up until 2009 when I had my doctor prescribe Chantix, Haven't smoked Mary Jane since the late 1980s.
That was pretty irregular and I never did pay for any of it. Joints had a way of being passed around at parties back then.
Stopped smokin cigars a few years ago now...still think about it sometimes.
Heard my ex still smokes (cigarettes) and spits up blood despite carrying around an oxygen tube.
Not looking forward to the day I'll have to call my son in Seattle about flying back to Bama for the funeral.
As for chapter one, I learned just a couple of years ago that as a toddler I got knocked unconscious tripping over laundry in a laundry room and would not say a word for a year.
Then when 14 I was washing dishes for my parents just after a thunderstorm. Done, I pulled the plug, took three steps from the sink and lightning bolt struck through an open kitchen window. The sink went GONG! The water that had not time to drain had evaporated into a cloud of steam. If I had been a minute slower, well . . . .
Skipping over all kinds of stuff such as why I conceal carry or fell into Yosemite Park's rapids, just like month I survived my 2013 Honda Fit being totaled. Insurance actually paid me $13Kplus for that. Now driving a 2001 Honda HR-V.
Thank you Carl.
