Terrible Anti Drug Commercial




I hate this commercial so much. What does it even mean? What is it trying to say and why does it think this is the way to say it? Do the people that made it think that it is somehow effective?

I can't stand pot, but this smug commercial makes me want to go out and find some and smoke it just to spite the idiots who condescend to everyone with this crap.

Summer Walks

image

Some of the trees on the parkways look ridiculous and naked, but I am glad they seem to all be making a go of it.

image

This old farmhouse at 700 Delavan (built in 1830 according to City Hall's website) looks so out of place with the city houses all around it now.

image

And this one burned down, recently I suppose? It's at 660 Delavan.

Roswell Lunches

image

I love having lunch at Roswell. Today I had stir fry veggies and chicken. It is hard to think about packing a lunch and bring it in, but I should start doing that to save money.

St Joseph's New RC Cathedral

Today at lunch I was talking to (e:Paul) and (e:enknot) about the Cathedral at Utica and Delaware in Buffalo (some more links), construction of which started in 1912. Its two massive bell towers held the largest carillon of church bells in the country, but they were only rung once and had to be removed because they endangered the structural integrity of the towers once rung. "The largest bell was 4,000 lbs., the smallest twenty-five. The whole cost $25,000 ($435,000 in 1997 dollars). It was the largest carillon in America at the time."

The twin steeple towers had to be removed 10 years later in the 1920's due to other structural defects, and by 1975 the entire Cathedral had to be torn down because of defects in construction, and the marble facing peeling away from the brick central walls.

Utah Wildfires Tonight

My dad's house may burn down tonight. Depends on the wind. No rain in 4 months and everything's turned to tinder. They are packing up the truck. If firefighters come back, it will be to tell them to evacute.

I remember the fire last year as (e:james) and I came out of the paria slots up into Escalante - pillar of smoke covering half the horizon for three days after. A bizarre cap to our hike, which was two days in and aborted due to lack of water. I was pushing so hard to get put of the canyons I ended up with sunstroke, and had to wait in meager shade at the trailhead watching the fire take up more and more of the sky, while James hitched back to our car.

I'm also thinking about as a kid i'd watch fires on mountainside near our home, seemingly hovering midair at midnight, char and smoke of sap and sweet smelling wood. Fearsome, a guilty pleasure to watch - enjoying it but knowing people's lives were being destroyed.
