They will likely become essential tools for many homeowners, especially those with acerage to regularly rebuild driveways, lawns, pastures and bury debris.

More than half of all U.S. states have legalized cannabis, be it for medical purposes, recreational use, or both. The shelves of cannabis dispensaries offer an ever-widening array of gummies, drinks and joints.
Meanwhile, the federal government still considers most types of cannabis illegal.
A new report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, released this week, finds this disconnect between the states and the federal government is leading to fragmented policies, and risks to the public.

Vromans Nose With Contours Added
I've been fascinated by the Vromans Nose LiDAR and wanted a more detailed topographic layout with contours for elevation. So this is what I ended up producing.
Autumn Afternoon on the Cedar River Flow
Beautiful autumn afternoon on the Cedar River Flow. The mercury was around 85 degrees with a nice breeze, so I can't complain about the weather. Leaves are already somewhat beyond peak, although with the haze, looking south, they are hard to make our the colors.

Foggy, colorful start to Saturday 🌁
I’m heading up to Indian Lake today to check out the Moose Festival and then ride around the Essex Chain Lakes and do some work at the library. In some ways tomorrow’s programs seem more interesting and the weather better tomorrow but I still think today I want to head up there and tomorrow do Little Otter Lake.
Didn’t stay up that late last night as I was tired 😴 and I awake so early. ⏰ I was out of bed around six o’clock this morning and made coffee and eggs. ☕ Watched the beautiful sunrise 🌅 and are getting things tidied up before heading heading up to Indian Lake to ride 🚲 and explore the Great Moose Festival 🦌. Going to be a nice day though ultimately it depends on how clear it is later on in the morning. Yesterday was actually quite warm once the fog burnt off.
Probably walk around the Moose Festival First this morning, 
then go down to the library to do work then ride for the balance of the day. I’ve never been back to Essex Chain Lakes, there is a lot to explore back there. 
Probably will be crowded, but I figure on the bike, I can hopefully avoid the crowds. 
We will see how things go.
Not as quite as colorful up north as I hoped, and this morning is a bit cloudy, 
but i’m hoping it will improve as the day goes on. Still it’s nice to get away for a bit this weekend, even if it’s a bit of a working weekend as I election day creeps closer and there is always more data jobs to run. But it’s fine, I have my cell service, my laptop and solar power. So things are good.
I got off on one of my rants about retarded individuals being used as useful idiots 🤡 for the plastics industry, as every time you see the meme about an orange packaged in plastic 🍊, I like to point out that it’s retards being useful idiots. I’m sure thats somewhat the case, and I find it hilarious as I think we are way too sensative around the feelings of the disabled ♿. I’m fine with reasonable accommodations but often they go too far and disability is an excuse for not legitimately trying. Sorry, I’m a broken person 😔, I’m mentally ill 🤪 and I’m handicapped 🩼 so I can’t be expected to lift a finger 🖕 to help myself.
Of course the funny thing about mocking all the plastic 🧴 is that I burn most of my garbage up in the woods 🔥, so I haven’t recycled ♻ any plastic or paper all summer, though I did a bucket of burnt out tin cans 🥫 and scrap metal to my parents recycling bin a few weeks back. But burning it works for me and it often makes an excellent fire starter to boot. 👢
