420) It's 4/20. Or something like that.

Which brings up the question of whether pot distribution is an essential activity in places where that is legal?

That's too bad -

I suggest you not wait too long to land another job, or at least get a "stop the bleeding" job. That severance package will go by faster than you think.

Good hunting.

Reminds of of a back-in-the-day story.

(ya, so what, do you have anything better to do than read my stories?)

The school board decided to have the entire gym (basketball) floor torn up and replaced. Since my father was on the school board, we got the bid on removing the old floor. The bid was for us (read mainly ME) to do it for free and we keep the lumber.

Now we are looking at like 2" wide 1" thick, oak tongue and groove boards, that had been nailed in place for like a 100 years. Those boards and nails didn't want to come up without a fight. Yep, the size of the floor was the size of a basketball court.

It was a hot day in July when my father backed our 2 ton farm truck up to the back doors of the gym. He got me started by pulling up one board then handed me a claw hammer and crowbar. He said I was to call him when the truck was full and he walked down to the post office to his part time job to support the farm.

OK, the truck was full, so my grandfather drove it back to the farm where I unloaded it UP into part of the hay loft, nails and all - more about the nails later.

After four loads all the flooring was torn up, loaded up and unloaded into the hayloft. I thought I was done - noooooooooooooo!

That winter I spent many of hours in that hayloft pulling the nails out of the boards and restacking the lumber.

PS - it was below freezing in the hayloft, each board had at least one rusty nail in it that I didn't see, till I grabbed it and the hayloft floor sloped in both directions.


THE END
