The Bridge Of Spies Waits For Tom Hanks. Who doesn’t like a nice train ride. It’s a different view than the highway and you don’t have to drive. From a highway we even stop and watch trains as they pull a long line of cars. Trains unified America with that Golden Spike. You could travel […]

LEGAL OREGON WEED MAKES YOU STUPID?

October 3, 2015 by

So How Do You Explain The Way Legal Oregon Weed Navigated The Legal System? As a sixty year old baby boomer I like age limits high for alcohol, weed, and tobacco. You could raise them even higher and who’d complain? Just as long as I’m not too young. Dangers to youth are no joking matter. […]
