Welcome to The World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc.
My name is Susan DuQuesnay Bankston. I live in Richmond, Texas, in the heart of Tom DeLay's old district. It's nuttier than squirrel poop here.
I am honored and privileged to know Miss Juanita Jean Herownself, hairdresser extraordinary and political maven. Since she does not have time to fiddle with this internet stuff, I type her website for her and you can read it if you want to. If you don't, she truly does not give a big bear's butt.
A lot of what I post here has to do with local politics, but you probably have the same folks in your local government.
This ain't a blog. Blogs are way too trendy for me. This is a professional political organization.
I had a friend who had a friend who managed to bring MJ to Texas from CO years ago, to help with cancer pain and nausea.
1Not in the line ’cause I’m buried under my wool blanket.
It is -10 with a wind chill factor of -30. It is up from earlier this am when it was -36.
It is snowing but we are lucky we are not affected by the storm that will hit NY and New England.
Glad we had a New Year’s party so we have food in the house.
I never ever thought I would see the day when pot was legal. I went to high school and college in the early 70’s and I remember the movies/talks we were made to watch/hear about the evils of pot.
2They never talked about alcohol and when I think of some of those parties…….
Have a “medical” pot purveyor 2 blocks down the street. By all accounts the place is doing a better than brisk business. No troubles… so far – and it has been open for some months. What the new “pot for everyone” will do for the business is unknown (at least to me).
Since the prevailing winds in Colorado blow from west to east, it shouldn’t be too long before the populations of Nebraska and Kansas start to sniff the effects. Of course, I am down wind from Denver, Boulder, Fort Collins, etal, so I will keep my nose on alert for when (if) the cloud reaches here! Rocky Mountain high, indeed!
3I’m waiting for some eager publicity seeking grandstanding law enforcement group not in Colorado having the dogs ready to greet every airplane landing from Denver. Joe Araipo, I’m lookin’ at you.
4Dave’s not here, man.
5Just hope all those legal buyers and smokers aren’t driving. Cheech and Chong would be the ones in the scooters, but they send a groupie, dude.
6They told me I couldn’t buy beer in South Dakota(lower drinking age than iowa) and cross the border back into iowa at the end of the evening. This was back in the last century. I was a rebel ahead of my time. I didn’t see any fat guys in the picture. I’m not blonde or female and I don’t wear hats so I guess I wasn’t there.
7My employer here in Texas hard timed a fellow employee who vacationed in Amsterdam last summer. He told me his department head met him with a random drug test memo when he returned to work. I wonder now if all of us who visit Colorado will be peeing in the cup the morning we return to the office.
8Who will guard the border to keep it from leaving the state? Will we see check stations on I-25 and I-70?
9Colorado: the new Doritos capital of the world!
10Interesting point, Ralph Wiggam, as CO borders 7 states, all of them “red” with the possible exception of NM. Do those states continue a losing battle, or will they go sensible and regulate legal pot in their own states?
11I’m all for law-abiding citizens!
12From the picture it appears those hippies are 100% white and considerably post-pubescent.
13Dalhart is the next Sierra Blanca, but not if Boise City, OK has anything to say about it. Is Texas going to place checkpoints with dogs on the northern border now?
14Gee, as they used to say in the military (an organization that made sure you smoked, period), Smoke ’em if you got ’em.
See all those guys carried long guns and you really wanted to keep them cool, calm and collected when they weren’t running a full bayonet charge on the practice field.
15@Dave in Austin:
16Speaking of Sierra Blanca, tangentially, I can’t see arresting Fiona Apple for anything but maybe being too kewel in a not very kewel State.
What if you go to Colorado and legally buy legal pot and legally use it in Colorado to make pot brownies and legally eat some of the pot brownies in Colorado but bring some of them back to, say, Kentucky?
It is getting damn near impossible to get pain meds in this prescription-drug-terrified state, and pot is the only hope for some of us.
