Spring is Bringing Rain, Floods and CBD Oil

I don’t think it’s a secret a good number of Americans have pushed for the legalization of marijuana for quite some time.

During my college (state university) days, one could sit in the student union working on homework and detecting the smell of pot wafting through the student union. That was many many days ago. Yet in spite of what appeared to be at the time a desire by the American people to use pot, there continued to be draconian laws penalizing anyone caught smoking or possessing marijuana.

Many lives have been ruined by the enforcement of these laws.

States are now legalizing (mostly via referendum) the usage of pot. Some of the laws only allow for some sort of medical use and others are making recreational use legal. States are moving in this direction, even though the federal government continues to be against any law liberalizing pot usage. 

I have often thought how could a government of the people on the federal level get it so wrong. The government and its various agencies continue to harass the very people who put it in power. State governments see the handwriting on the wall and are bending to the will of the people.

Now moving on to a product many folks believe is related to marijuana … CBD Oil (a dietary supplement) is taking the country by storm. Americans (young to old) rushing to use CDB oil for all kinds of reasons.

I can’t give you specific cites, but going from memory as the news articles fly by … CBD oil is becoming an ingredient in many products … I see it offered up in jelly beans, alcohol products, etc. The American people want it so badly that they are rushing to purchase products with the oil being a necessary ingredient. Plus, they’re even buying the oil and taking it straight. Imagine that? LOL

Maybe, it’s good for you, then again perhaps it's not. It kind of reminds me of watching old westerns where they feature a medicine man coming into town offering up a product that cures everything. As it stands now, the CBD medicine man acts a lot in the same way.

Be that as it may …

What we are seeing is that the American people want marijuana & CBD Oil so intensely they are running and jumping to the arms of anyone who satisfies this need and desire.

Hey, you government folks who think you are supposed to control our lives and force us to do what you think we should be doing … 

We, the people are doing what we want to do, NOT what you think is best. FREEDOM is something you should read up on.

SO BACK OFF!!!

Behavioral Modification

I have spent the last week or so being around young school age children in our local school district. Ages ranging from Prep-K up to early high school. I have to admit it's fascinating to watch how the system works in order to make these young people comply with acceptable behavior. For example ...  be quiet when they want to talk, sit still when they want to dance, study when they want to play, stand in line when they wish to wander and the biggie to say that which is acceptable to say as opposed to speaking honestly about what's in their hearts and minds. As somewhat of an outsider, I watched the enforcers take action against those who failed to comply. Amazingly enough, the students did exactly what they were told to do. BUT ...... As soon as the enforcer was gone, they became who they are ... KIDS!!! You got to love them!!!

Harley Davidson

Harley Davidson (Kansas City) announced that they are going to close their manufacturing plant sometime in 2019. I think they described it as bringing into alignment their manufacturing capacity with the harsh reality of a shrinking demand for their product. The plant costing millions of dollars to build was put into play around 1998. So we are looking at a plant that has been in Kansas City only 20 years. Plus, when they threatened to shut down the plant a few years ago, the State of Missouri and employees came up to the plate again to provide them what they needed to stay. I recall a significant investment by another GIANT corporation not too long ago in Kansas City. Interestingly enough, they secured some nice funding breaks from the city and state assisting in its construction. Millions of dollars were spent to build the facility. The local chamber participated in the ribbon cutting joyfully singing the corporations' theme song and basking in the belief that the states'...

Sex, Lies & Videotape (1989 Film Title)

Regarding the most recent Trump news & his former National Security Advisor, Michael Flynn lying to the FBI & of course getting caught …. Here is how it works in the world of transportation & this bit of information might be helpful to our future leaders, if they take the time to  read this LOL. When a driver is involved in an incident that causes damage to a company asset or to someone else’s ass(et), the driver is faced with the following decision … Report it to the company?? Or Not??? The drivers are always advised by me to report it. Now, the nature of the incident may lead to a driver’s firing, reprimand (involving retraining) or a simple incident dismissal (subject to the demand for that drivers’ services … that’s another story LOL). The point here is that the outcome is uncertain, but at least there is the strong possibility that the drivers’ job will be preserved & ALL forgiven. Now, if the driver tries to cover the incident up &/or deny ...
