Readings

After the Lord of \The Rings binge -almost nine hours of watching the trilogy,i am just all binged out. So this morning i listened to some music,did quite alot of reading whilst the music was in the background and generally just chilled out.

I am currently reading the poetry of both Kerouac and of Laurence Ferlinghetti. I have also realised that i have two copies of Kerouac's "Heaven and Other Poems"




Both have been produced by the same press and at different reprintings so i shall keep the second one and sell the first one.

Tomorrow i will be on the road again. Visits to Canterbury and Whitstable, and most likely Ramsgate and Dover.

Legalise It

Nevada officially became the fifth state to sell recreational marijuana on Saturday, a program that is expected to generate more than $60 million in revenue, according to its department of taxation, as well as bolster tourism and reduce non-violent drug arrests.

The Silver State is learning from nearby Colorado, which has already generated roughly $200 million in tax revenue and more than $1 billion in sales since legalizing. This cash is funding schools, anti-addiction efforts, low-income housing, and mental health programs, among other several other measures.

As state budgets are squeezed for dollars and Democrats and Republicans alike both struggle to find mutually agreeable sources of revenue to fund infrastructure, education, and health, marijuana is proving to be a wise option.
