First tune is from an Lp that was LSD music on the 8-track in my 1967 Oldsmobile 98 LS (Luxury Sedan) in the mid-1970s...

I want to say mine had a 416 or 418 4-barrel, and even with dealing pot, etc., and working as a bus boy, I'm not sure I ever afforded to fill the gas tank other than when driving with a larger number of people to concerts in Kalamazoo and elsewhere, sometimes in snow storms. Usually on bald tires.

With 6-8 people in it, on wet ice, it could slide through any stop sign in SW Michigan with no trouble at all. A 'boat' on wheels.

But it had comfort features that no youngster deserved; separate climate control in the rear, lighted cosmetic mirrors front and back, AC, plush cloth interior, and, of course, my 8-track tape deck.

Nostalgia-ville. And too conservative in appearance to warrant traffic stops, except for those times sldiing through stop signs on ice... which I was lucky enough to not be observed doing. :)

Saw my younger son last night when I picked up the new snowmachine. Didn't give him a solid left cross as I'd envisioned and been tempted to do off and on as a result of his aloofness and disrespect toward his mother and others; myself included..

Spoke about work on one of my snowmachines he has of mine that was s'posed to be done a while ago, and then I made some relatively calm statements about his distancing his family, the past, and trashing what was a good relationship for a lot of years. Asked if he still had the digital photo collection I'd sent him last year; him as a youngster, tiny, as well as early teens through later-teens, and him holding one of his first burbot up by the gills out at the remote lakes in the mountains, the first time he drove one of my snowmachines out there by himself, hauling his own gear.

I asked if he'd deleted them; when he'd received them he'd sounded pretty hostile and dismissive. He hadn't. I encouraged him to study them a bit.

Encouraged him to help repair relationships with his brother, his mother, and myself.

Let him know that I don't know how many more bush trips to our 'ice fishing Mecca' I have left in me, and that one miracle vision I have would be for he and his brother to make another trip out there with me, as his brother is doing with his pup and myself this March, and use that as an opportunity to build or rebuild what should have been natural between them.

Let him know that regardless of others thoughts about my more rogue years, I'm not ashamed of having been a pot grower and dealer. I am shamed of other things, including the stress that doing 'loud' politics and growing pot brought into our home when his brother and sister were younger, before he was very aware.

We do what we do, and hopefully, when we look back, we can do so with limited cringing or shame at any injustices we might've had hands in.

Everyone is a criminal to a degree,it's human nature to survive and if things get tough people do what they gotta do, some get caught. It makes it convenient for the hypocties to point fingers. Medical billing errors cost Americans $210,000,000,000 annually.
Roughly 12,000,000 Americans are misdiagnosed each year.
Medical errors cause an estimated 250,000 deaths in the United States annually,,thats real crime,I wouldn't regret selling some weed ,that the government now supports,they get their pound of flesh and it's ok.
