It’s definitely been a bit weird having a book on Amazon for nearly a month without ever having seen it. Of course I viewed the .pdf many times in many stages before co-author Kit Perez uploaded it. But that’s not the same. I don’t have a Kindle reader, I don’t like ebooks, and not holding a paper copy in my hands felt like something was missing. Because something was! Author copies have been pending, but Amazon’s been in no rush with them. (And that’s okay because they sell us our author copies at cost, rather than at the 50% rate…

NFI on my part, and I have never purchased from this company. But a friend alerted me that Honeyville.com is having a storewide 15%-off sale now though 4/27. Honeyville is a supplier of freeze-dried fruits, vegetables, meats, meat subsitutes, dairy, emergency meals, and alt-grains and flours.

But the world’s been ending so frequently for the last few years that I find myself unable to keep up. Please forgive me if I missed giving you a cheery sendoff.

Oh, you have no idea how delighted I am to be able to say that. It’s 420 and the local cannabis dealer was mobbed this a.m. for its annual sale. It’s a beautiful shop run by nice people and I’m so glad to see it making a (you’ll pardon the expression) hit. It’s beloved by recreational users, cancer patients, pain patients, people with digestive issues, and certainly by the ‘crats who collect marijuana taxes. While the budtenders are mostly young kids (who, for some reason have taken to wearing Bob Marley dreads despite most of them being white and female),…
