20-APR-18 Up In Smoke

I was going to start a daily but then I got the munchies and went to White Hen to get s Slurpee and some Doritos.       //sophomoric drug humor

I thought about starting a "Lost in Space" thread here but I think we are having a fine discussion over on Mike's FB page.  

In other news, there is a BIG outbreak of E.coli linked to Romaine lettuce from AZ.  The CDC is recommending that if you don't know where the romaine in your home is from that you should throw it away, even if you have eaten some and did not get sick.  This goes for whole heads, hearts of romaine and chopped/prepared bags.

I can totally get behind a warning not to eat salad. I have been trying to eat more salad in my diet for the past six months and generally failing miserably. The sad thing is that I am in NO danger of having any kind of contaminated lettuce in my home, because I have zero lettuce in my home and can't remember the last time I had lettuce in my home. This is me not sticking to a resolution.

I still need to eat more salads and should go buy some with spring greens in them. Or have a spring greens salad at a salad restaurant.

Today is also my friend's birthday, the anniversary of the Columbine shootings, and Adolf Hitler's birthday (as the friend who has a birthday always reminds me). And some of the streets were closed off and bags placed over parking meters in anticipation of that other holiday that's a very big deal here.  I passed a couple of dispensaries with full parking lots.
