Manhattan is pretty depressing on the census map. Not surprising really.

Interesting to me that where I lived in Memphis I was part of a 1% minority.

Our wings are not tired.
This is the first time I've ever heard anything about 4/20 and getting high. I feel very out of it.
This was the case with a couple people I work with. I feel like the cool kid of the office!

Troy is awfully far inland for good shrimp, though.
TOTALLY. I was stunned!!!

Because books.
I think 420 is supposed to be the police code for arresting someone with weed or something? I have no idea.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Devotees will insist that 420 is the penal code section for marijuana use, or the police radio code for marijuana smoking in progress, or the number of chemical compounds in marijuana, or that April 20 is the date that Jim Morrison died. Unless it was Jimi Hendrix, or was that Janis Joplin?
All these theories, and dozens more, are wrong, wrong, wrong.
According to Steven Hager, editor of High Times, the term 420 originated at San Rafael High School, in 1971, among a group of about a dozen pot-smoking wiseacres who called themselves the Waldos. The term 420 was shorthand for the time of day the group would meet, at the campus statue of Louis Pasteur, to smoke pot.

OK, question--I suspect that last night's drunkard was probably trying to get into the other townhome at the end of my triplex. I don't know those neighbors at all, except for occasionally seeing them walking in or out--they're renters, and the combo has changed a few times. Is there any appropriate way to ask/warn/remind them that it's NOT OK for them or their guests to scare the shit out of me, wake me up, bang on the door, and then puke on it? (Note, this would not be ok to me even if you were MY guest, but). I mean, it's possible it was not anyone related to them. But.

I know it wasn't when Jimi Hendrix died, because that date is my birthday(Um, not that exact one, like "OMG, guys, they killed Jimi." but three years later

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
meara, I would ask the landlord to talk to them.
