We were all tired out when we came home from our Panama Canal cruise so have planned for this year to be fairly quiet. Lately, as I've been whining, we've had a full-time job spraying weeds but that is over for a moment or two. This is a pretty good time of year in Southern Nevada and our daytime temps are squeezing into the 70's (22C) so wandering around is fun. There are a few things we need to do around the house and this is the time to start in on them. I'll whine about them when they get underway.
My wife and I are of an age when aches and pains are a regular part of life; therefore ibuprofen. Unfortunately there are things the miracle drug cannot cure and one of those things has taken a woman whom I only met once but via her husband's blog felt I knew her. Croft is a guy who liked to write about their travels and his wife Norma was always there keeping him 'in line'. Lots of us guys need a woman like that and Croft was lucky enough to have found his. I wish him the best adjusting to the loss of his friend, lover, wife and so much more.
Life here is going on with the usual panache. The headline on our newspaper this a.m. was that we now have a Starbuck's store! We had a Starbuck's counter in one of the local grocery stores but I guess that wasn't enough. I'd put up a link but they haven't updated the website with that burning news. In other local news, our county, Nye, has been involved in a reality tv show: Live PD. The sad news is that our local sheriff's officers will not be followed by their film crews from now on. I'm not sure why we are getting the boot but I expect it is because we don't have a lot of 'action'. Let's face it, there aren't that many people living here (and most of them are old) so we can only have so many drug busts. There goes our moment of fame.
I manage our investments and I've been fascinated by the marijuana industry that seems to be growing by leaps and bounds. Part of the reason I find it interesting is that it is legal to possess small amounts in Nevada. We have a local dispensary for legal recreational and medicinal weed. We also have a couple other places offering CBD, a non-psychoactive form, that is supposed to have considerable medical uses. Of course every sleezy salesperson (sorry, financial advisor) is pushing one company or another. Believe me, I have no special insight and haven't bought anything yet! There is a lot of interest in Canadian companies since they have legalized marijuana nationally. There are also the brands that are associated with alcohol distributors but that is also primarily a Canadian connection. I'll probably buy into some of the Canadian interests only because President Nutbag (I mean Trump) and his idiot Cabinet could turn on marijuana in an instant and amp up the pressure on the states to resind legalization.
Well, that's what is wandering around in my head today. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great day.
