I've brought this up before, but it still baffles me why you never see graffiti in public restrooms anymore. Were people more apt to carry markers back in the day? I think graffiti gets covered-up/erased/painted over quicker these days.
Maybe it's like lighters/matches. I grew up believing (from the movies) that every adult carried some flame source as a routine, like they would keys or ID or even a pocket knife. I bet you'd only find maybe 15% carry lighters now. Tops. I'm not going to take a guess on knives.
There would be shitloads of graffiti if you could somehow text it into the wall.
Holy crap! What an image that conjures up. And you're probably right.

It strikes me as odd that certain demographic groups enjoy the music they do. Maybe it shouldn't. Perhaps the problem lies with me. But down here, a LOT of GLBTQ people like country music. And strangely, a LOT of pro-Trump people like late-60's/early-70's rock. I dunno. These genres just don't always seem to gibe with their belief systems.

I don't grok country music (at least of the more commercial Nashville variety) --though a lot of the session players who record it are outstanding musicians.
As far as Trumpies liking 60's-70's rock music: my guess is the average age of this demographic has something to do with it. There were an awful lot of songs from that time frame that weren't explicitly political. And let's face it, it's only human to feel nostalgic for the tunes you smoke(d) and screw(ed) to...

It's funny because DFIT spent the 1970s at Studio 54, abstaining from drugs and often keeping a single drink in front of him all evening. If he can stand to listen to that much disco without taking Bolivian marching powder, well, that's maybe the most disturbing detail of all.

I of course know who DFIT is, but perhaps you could provide more specifics so our audience at home can follow along.

Other than the fact I'm talking about the 45th POTUS, you mean?

Precisely. I just wanted to make sure everyone else was clear on that. (cough cough)

I only know of one medical marijuana dispensary here*. It's called "Med Men". It just seems like - of all the names I could come up with for a pot shop, that'd be so low on my possibles list.
*There could be lots for all I know.

There is one near here named Starbuds. Their gummies are good.

See, that is so much better than "Med Men".

This why stupid people shouldn't be allowed to use psychedelics unsupervised... I have one friend (who sort of dropped out in the Bay Area and I hope she's OK) who kept advising several of her bandmates that they shouldn't take Ayahuasca--Stef already had some experience with it--but they did the thrill-seeking-20-something-I-can-handle-this bit.
Apparently it didn't end too terribly well.

I just got a letter in the mail announcing that my stimulus check has arrived. Yeah, I know...?

I'm actually not interested in imposing any checks on my stimulus, thank you.
