As to the Ohio Pot initiative. I suspect a lot of the "no" vote was based on the belief that as written in granted growing monopolies to a very small group. I don't know for sure if that argument is true; no report I saw contested the monopoly charge. Given the level of our press, that lack unfortunately proves little.
All I have is anecdotal evidence, but I heard a lot of people say they were opposed to it because of the monopoly factor. And there was another issue on the ballot specifically written to prevent monopolies, so if that issue passed AND the pot issue passed, then the pot issue would have been DOA.
As it turn out, the anti-monopoly issue did pass, but it didn't directly affect the pot issue anyway, since that issue didn't pass. (Too bad the the people behind the anti-monopoly issue didn't care enough to put it on the ballot before the casino issue passed.)
I am eating bright yellow in hopes that it will cheer me up and get me through today. Am also treating myself to Starbucks rather than eating free hotel breakfast. I don't think it'll work though.
Eta: eating?? No autocorrect--wearing!
I don't know why, but that made me laugh so hard! (And also reminded me of a sarameg thing?) I could use some yellow to eat today!
Wednesday, why you gotta act like Monday for -t? Get it together. You should be helping us slide into the weekend, and not giving us heartburn.
Matt, I'm jealous of the walk and the pie.
I made the BF take all of the leftover candy to work. I don't miss it if it's not in the house, but I will snack incessantly on it if it's here. So I did my part to support my local EMTs by enabling a sugar rush.
I would try eating bright yellow, it sounds like it might be effective! I don't know where I'd get some, though.
I had to look up Take 5 - it has pretzels? That sounds amazing. Huh, it's pretty recent, I didn't realize we were still getting new candy bars from Hershey's this century. I mean, of course we are, they aren't going to stop developing new products, but it still somehow surprises me.
That sounds like an excellent use of candy, Maria!

I am drinking coffee with chicory this morning, and wishing I was back in New Orleans with my people.
It snowed on me in the parking lot. Winter is here.
That sounds like an excellent use of candy, Maria!
It should be. He's on a 16-hour shift today. The medic is on a 12-hour. And if there's any left, two different folks will be on that same schedule tomorrow.
