The answer my friend is blowing in the wind 🌬️

Or is that the marijuana wind or the cow shit from the grass puppies blowing on the wind? Maybe my mind is still stuck in Allegany County from work. I bet you not only do they make excellent milk there, they also grow excellent cannabis in that county with all that shit and backwoods people. All I know is that wind was roaring something else a little after 6 AM, the neighbor’s garbage cans were banging around, the wind a roaring, the building creaking and my dumpy apartment suddenly felt drafty.

I tell you that marijuana smoke some old black lady was smoking at the bus stop last night, 🚬 definitely was not the best quality, smelled like it was more tobacco then cannabis, but it clearly had a note of cannabis. She was fairly elderly, probably for the pain. She was being fairly discrete, and while your not supposed to smoke at the bus stop, whatever. The bus was close to on time, and I was able to walk for a half hour in the Plaza. Big group of State Troopers out by the Plaza Bus Turn Around again yesterday, I think that homeless guy that once tried to talk to me was harassing the state workers just trying to get a bus back their car again. Why can’t he just live and let live?

After last month’s $116 electric and gas bill, in part due me being home sick, the dying refrigerator compressor running non-stop for several days, and the generally cold month, I’m hoping for a lower bill this year. That said, I rarely pay more then $100, and only one month out of the year so I’m not complaining. That said, I do not like the wind or the drafts, even if I’ve done my best to seal around the doors while the wind comes in around the cracks in the foundation, walls and bad windows. So, yeah I don’t like the wind, and it’s going to be cold when I’m out waiting for the bus this morning.

I started cooking beans down around 4 AM when I first awoke to run to the bathroom, getting my non-winning entry into the chilli cook-off event today at work. My team is bringing in all kinds of good stuff, and it should be a fun day. Also baked some homemade bread to bring into the office. I figure most of it won’t go so I’ll have good eats throughout the weekend. I borrowed my mom’s crockpot but I didn’t want to carry it on the bus, so I figured it just would be easier to cook it in a pan and bring that in instead.
