Or Chicago. They actually work pretty good for merging traffic.

waste of time. Getting there to prove the capability was one thing. We didn't keep going back for a reason - which was there isn't one. Getting to the moon was not Columbus reaching the the Western Hemisphere.

SpaceX has a lot to prove with their HLS system before any landings.  Artemis II flies by the moon, not going into orbit, not even replicating Apollo 8, but HLS isn't involved in that.  The HLS is ambitious.  It's not like the Apollo where the lander goes along for the ride.  This flies up separately, gets fueled several times in earth orbit, then takes off on it's own towards the moon.  Then in lunar orbit the crew will transfer from Orion to the HLS.

A view from afar. I live an hour and 15 minutes from the pot Mecca in Monroe. I've been to probably 10 dispensaries around there. Always love going through the parking lots looking at how many Ohio plates we could see. Almost all of them. Even from my county, but didn't see anyone I knew. I'm retired so I bootleg stuff back here for something to do. 🙂

I'm really impressed with the service and the knowledge of the "budtenders." I have a favorite place and the service is always good. Never had a bad experience. If only some of our other retail places could replicate that. Maybe $ has something to do with it. Don't know.

I watched the West coast pot stuff and was in Oregon back in 2018 and it was like a candy store compared to around here when it was still illegal. The Netflix documentary did a great job with Murder Mountain. Things change. I've read there are Michigan pot companies folding up because it's too saturated and unprofitable. Same as it happened out West. If, and this is Ohio we are talking about, they ever get their **** together, will help run the border towns like Monroe out of business.

We are rec now, but  the prices are way too high. For example, an oz of 28% THC weed around here is around $240 where in M squared (Monroe, Michigan) it's $100. Tax not included.

other than computing power, might be the only that's cheaper today than when we were in college......

Friday night.  Going to put my feet up, maybe pour a bourbon, spend the next 3 hours figuring out which streaming services I need to watch the games this weekend.

cheaper maybe, but quality, maybe not. Stems and seeds and things you don't need. Giggle.

I haven't kept track, kind of wish I would have but never thought about it, after a few years of M squared pot Mecca, I can't say I have ever found even one lonely little seed. If I had, I would try to get the little guy back on life support. Never know what might happen.

From the wayback machine; we caught the back seat of a car on fire one night because a seed popped (using a corncob pipe) and landed in the seat and we didn't know it. It was hot.

I’m surprised there has been no discussion about Phillies Karen on a discussion forum whose primary focus is baseball

Some of the videos look pretty good.

My wife wants to see it. Some purists are bitching because they used AI to enhance some scenes to make them wider. For example if the uncle walks into a scene then they widen so that you see him sitting there.  It’s harmless. This isn’t Art.  Everybody has seen it a million times so this is just a twist.

Just a visit to the Sphere is awesome . We were there just over a year ago, opted for whatever the general show, Postcard from Earth.  I think U2 was still in residency but tickets were impossible to get (and afford) with our schedule.

Maybe on of the few reasons I'd consider visiting Vegas again.

My coworker said it was very good.

I’d kill for a package of Mallomars.
