    I rode my bike on Saturday w/ Voodoo Tom. We pulled to the trailhead at the same time and there were 3 empty vehicles already there. It was supposed to be hot but it wasn't.Near the top of the climb we met mountain biker named Luis. He had lost well over 50 lbs. We stopped and encouraged him. The sky was blue not brown from smoke, the views seemed endless. My hooligan riding partner the best!

    Very close to 100% of what is left of me. :rolleyes:
    Which is apparently quite a bit! :thumbsup:
    Crashing for me is the price of admission sometimes, because the movie is ALWAYS worth it!

    Didn’t ride my bike, but had a nice mini swim in the ocean. The knee was happy enough and the water, sun and warm sand...are sweet blessings:inlove:

    What a world we live in.
    Put that in a bowl with some cold, whole milk... Hope you don't have much to do that day.

    I can't like this, because it's marketed to kids. Exactly what they don't need.

    Really? So the multi colored, fruity fantastic candy-looking product with LOL on it is NOT marketed to kids? The label says so?

    And cigarettes weren't market to kids or teens either. The tobacco companies said so.

    Smoke as much pot as you want as an adult, but keep that Sh!t away from the developing brains of kids until they are old enough to pick their poison.

    And that's my optimism!!!

    Lighten up, Francis.

    I don't have kids. I don't want kids. I don't even like kids. Children are not on my radar when I make a decision regarding my medication and the numerous ways in which it is being presented for use.
    Medicinal cannabis has freed me from a lifetime of alcohol abuse-a bad addiction I developed mimicking the behavior of dear old Dad and Mom.
    Parents have brought forth their own spawn to live on this polluted ball of hell and I should not be troubled by what I see as a problem of their creation.

    That's my optimism.

    I don't even like Fruity pebbles. I prefer the swashbuckling swagger of Cap'n Crunch!

    Not about you, my friend, for the reasons you explain. My rant is aimed at the drug pushers trying to get kids hooked on stuff that is the antithesis of what they need for proper intellectual, physical and emotional development. I wish to remain idealistic and optimistic that we should attempt to get kids to 18 years of age before they pick their recreational intoxicants.

    I get to ride my bike virtually 365 days a year (in reality, slightly less, but close). Hard not to be happy that I not only can do that, but make the choice to.

    Same reason I had a vasectomy in my 20's. No regrets.

    IF a child was to even see that, it is 100% because of a careless parent. There is no way a child could even come close to purchasing such an item.

    I may be unpopular for this, but I am for paddling...under the right circumstances. At Village Christian School I was the recipient of a few paddles, it was an effective tool for sure! :eek:
