SO let's get to the important stuff.
On NETFLIX there is this travel adventure by two German "free spirits" and their dog called "Expedition Happiness" This young couple buy a school bus, make it into a tiny home and travel from North Carolina to Alaska and down to the southern tip of Mexico and they do it mostly off the beaten path. Join them as they go through American Customs which is COMPLETELY FUCKED UP and agents literally almost kills their dog Rudi.
The soundtrack is sung by the female "free spirit" and is beautiful. The photography is breathtaking and it is a magnificent adventure that makes me totally jealous. I've hitchhiked a few thousand miles to the west coast a few times (never made it past the Rockies) and this would have been a dream come true for me.
You can watch all of their vlogs on Youtube or watch the movie on NetFlix - I fell in love with these 3 and miss them already.

There was a
There was a big drug bust in Columbus after the CPD was looking for a dude that threatened harm to our run down high school. They rounded up 15 pounds of cannabis worth I figure about $192,000 street value ($100 for 1/8 ounce (on average) = $800 an ounce = 16 ounces in a pound, 15 pounds).
So street value would be $192,000 but there there is skimming so lets say $200,000. Not a bad haul. I wonder if this was Mexican drug cartel? or from the west cost.

A quick thing - since Columbine, 150,000 children have experiences a school shooting. And absolutely nothing has been done. YET - lawn jarts killed a little girl and they were banned.
On May 4 2017 the GOP cheered and celebrated when they passed a bill that took mental health care away from millions of people - today those same men are blaming mental illness for gun violence.
Perhaps instead of lowing teachers pay we SHOULD give them hazard pay. How many of you go to work daily knowing that YOUR job for that day MIGHT LITERALLY be to be a human shield for a mass murderer. Yet - the GOP lowers your pay and is making your job harder instead.

Stephanie Winston Wolkoff - a long time friend of First Lady Melania Trump formed a business 1.5 months before the inauguration President Trump’s inauguration committee which steered $26 million into this brand new business.
Seems a like coincidence.

I promised myself no more talk about the basement but Friday night was our first time the basement was OK to hangout in while still being unfinished. Steve Black and Company are doing the work and we going to get Andy Black to make a awesome bar/table for us from urban Columbus wood.
So we stood and drank a bit which Gus and the cats ran around giddy to have their basement back.
Just after framing.
The story so far
