Smoke 🚬

|

I was smelling my neighbor’s marijuana smoke and was thinking what a kind of disgusting habit it is. Certainly very pungent but so is tobacco and there is fewer and fewer places you can smoke that indoors and even outdoors. Tobacco smoke really trashes the insides of buildings and can be quite irritating to others even if I do think the risks of second hand smoke are quite overblown except maybe for cocktail waitresses who wafted through it all day long at a local bar.

Truth is that I like smoking pot and even that occasional drag on a cigarette in the wilderness with a cold beer. I do like that big bonfire, burning my trash, having good fires. Recycling these days zis a joke as is washing out those plastic containers. But let’s be honest, smoke even wh you’re just burning wood can be pretty obnoxious when you’re downwind. It’s why space and land is so important.

Basically I got home and collapsed last night 🛏️

I was so tired after visiting with the folks yesterday, and it was kind of a cold evening. I wonder if I got bit by a tick while walking in Black Creek Preserve yesterday as I’m a bit achy this morning, but also I couldn’t believe how dead tired I was at 6 pm last night.

Maybe it just was the weather, lots of rain and then it got cold on Sunday. 🌥️ I really was not dress to spend any time outdoors after visiting with the folks, having chose to wear only a t-shirt and shorts, with temperatures only around 50 degrees with a stiff wind yesterday evening, and times of clouds and a bit of sun.

Today looks a lot better, ☀️ and is going to be mad warm by mid-week. Going to be a busy week too, tonight I want to ride down to the Norman’s Kill Preserve, spend some time by the creek then go to Hannaford and stock up with groceries. Tuesday I am going out to folks house to house sit, then Wednesday I have the company End of Session Party picnic. 🍔 Rain for Thursday and Friday, ☔ more rain on Saturday – looks like another half of an inch – but I might still take the Nature Bus to Thacher and ride for a bit and hang out at Nature Center assuming it’s not a downpour all morning. Sunday looks good, maybe dad will want to go to the Gas Up 🚜 then. Maybe the following week I’ll get out to Vermont.
