Voters to weigh in on marijuana; Multiple referendum questions on ballot

From The Journal Times.com:

From the Fall Election 2018: Election news, candidate profiles and more series


RACINE — While candidates for governor and Congress have received a lot of attention leading up to Tuesday election, also on the ballot will be questions regarding marijuana.

In the City of Racine and Racine County there are advisory referendums asking voters on how they feel about medical and recreational marijuana, along with how it should be enforced and taxed.

On Friday, Racine County Board supervisors Nick Demske and Melissa Kaprelian, along with Joel Jacobsen, the Democratic candidate for Assembly District 63, held a press conference at the Dr. John Bryant Community Center, 601 21st St., urging voters to make their voices heard on the subject.

Four for Fridays!

Good morning everyone I hope you had fun watching the trick or treaters in your neighborhood. We had a lot of fun with the Grandkids over the weekend. It was so nice to have them here the weekend of my birthday. Here are your questions.

1) Have you gone in the stores and already last week the had the Christmas trees up?

2) Do you think the stores should have them up this early?

3) When do you think the stores should have any Christmas stuff out?

4) So you do any Christmas shopping this early?

Have a great weekend!

Dear Madame Zoltar

Hello my children!  How are you?  The weather has been decent, if a bit cool.  It will just get colder as winter approaches.  Right now, though, there are still some trees holding onto their fall color.  Some are stunning.  Others are drab.  There are also Halloween decorations out there.

By the way, happy Halloween.  I'm giving away Milky Way bars in the junior size.  You have to be a child, though.  I'm not feeding some juvenile delinquents.  Junior is dressing up as a zombie to answer the door.  What fun.

The Green Bay Packers.  Ty Montgomery.  Need I say more?  What the (expletive deleted) is he doing making a "judgment call" (his words)?  He was told to take a knee if the ball made it into the end zone.  Then Aaron Rodgers could stage one of those last-minute comebacks he's become known for.  But no.  Next year Ty is a free agent.  Goodbye, Ty.

Here are the standings from the Irregular Football league:


My team is still in second place.  How does Mr.hale-bopp collect so many points?  Unfortunately, The Mighty Bears have dropped another position, behind Racine Irregulars.  Oh my.  Mr. OrbsCorbs' team is lost down where the swamp gas collects.

Speaking of swamp gas,  have you heard any of the bile that Mr. Trump is spewing?  He lies like a rug.  Sooner or later, his lies are going to get him into deep trouble.  Let's just hope he doesn't take us with him.  I'd love to start a Dump Trump campaign, but I'm too busy.  I find it really ridiculous that Trump is president.  Hilary had three million more votes than him, but the electoral college was probably bribed to elect Trump.  What do we even vote for if the electoral college is going to ignore us? Not that Hilary is any great shakes.  I hope we get a strong candidate in the next preswidential election.

Or maybe the Rusians will make our choice for us.  How the heck can they hack voting machines from way over there?  How do they access them?  Are they online?  Can we mess with their elections?  If so, please do so.

Thank you everybody for reading my blog today.  I love my fans. They give me the courage to continue.

Get out and enjoy the weather and the view.  Soon enough it will be covered in s-word.  Then the s-word gets dirty and looks terrible.  I hate winter.

Chickenhawk:

A chickenhawk or chicken hawk is slang used in American and British gay culture to denote older males who prefer younger males for partners, who may less often be called "chickens",[1] i.e., the prey of the chickenhawk.[2] Other variations include chicken queen[3] and chicken plucker.[2]
It is sometimes used as a disparaging vulgarity within the LGBT community, or seen as a slur against people in that community. The label can be applied to a man who seeks partners with the look of someone young, regardless of their target's age.[4][5]
"Chickenhawk" also indicates a man who uses underage boys for his sexual pleasure. The usage was publicized by members of the controversial group NAMBLA in the 1994 documentary film Chicken Hawk: Men Who Love Boys,[6][7] although Time magazine reported it in this sense in 1975.[3]

Bendeed Knee

Oct. 30, 2018
5:00 p.m.
I’m Art Kumbalek and man oh manischewitz what a world, ain’a? So listen, three words to remember during the coming week: VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! And if it helps, I suggest you grab a Sharpie and write “VOTE” on your forehead, so that a simple glance at the bathroom mirror will jog your memory. Whatever it takes, what the fock.
Next, a “thank you” to constant reader Ingrid/Mae for the very nice note. And speaking of notes, me and the fellas are humming a blue one these days. So, no essay this week ’cause I’m off to the Uptowner tavern/charm school for some needed camaraderie. Come along if you like and, believe it or not, this time I’ll buy the first round. Let’s get going.
Little Jimmy Iodine: Hey, Artie! Over here.
Herbie: Gentlemen. Now that we’re all here, it’s time to raise your glass. To Martha.
Julius: To Martha.
Ernie: To Martha.
Ray: To Martha.
Emil: To Martha.
Little Jimmy: To Martha.
Art: And for Martha, for all, I will read a poem by the esteemed Mr. Yeats, “The Stolen Child.” And full disclosure, I’ve taken the liberty to change the gender here and there in the poem, so sue me, what the fock:
Where dips the rocky highland
Of Sleuth Wood in the lake,
There lies a leafy island
Where flapping herons wake
The drowsy water rats;
There we’ve hid our faery vats,
Full of berrys
And of reddest stolen cherries.
Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world’s more full of weeping than you can understand.
Where the wave of moonlight glosses
The dim gray sands with light,
Far off by furthest Rosses
We foot it all the night,
Weaving olden dances
Mingling hands and mingling glances
Till the moon has taken flight;
To and fro we leap
And chase the frothy bubbles,
While the world is full of troubles
And anxious in its sleep.
Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world’s more full of weeping than you can understand.
Where the wandering water gushes
From the hills above Glen-Car,
In pools among the rushes
That scarce could bathe a star,
We seek for slumbering trout
And whispering in their ears
Give them unquiet dreams;
Leaning softly out
From ferns that drop their tears
Over the young streams.
Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world’s more full of weeping than you can understand.
Away with us she’s going,
The solemn-eyed:
She’ll hear no more the lowing
Of the calves on the warm hillside
Or the kettle on the hob
Sing peace into her breast,
Or see the brown mice bob
Round and round the oatmeal chest.
For she comes, the human child,
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world’s more full of weeping than she can understand.
To Martha.
(Hey, this is going late but good and I know you got to go, but thanks for letting us bend your ear, ’cause I’m Art Kumbalek and I told you so.)

Happy Birthday Tender Heart Bear!


Thank you for everything that you do.  Enjoy your day.

Dolphins forced to simplify calls due to human noise pollution in the oceans


As a result of noisy ship engines and the racket of ocean mining, bottlenose dolphins have slowly reducing the complexity and changing the frequency of their calls. According to new research from the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science and published in the journal Biology Letters, "the noise-induced simplification of dolphin whistles may reduce the information content in these acoustic signals and decrease effective communication, parent–offspring proximity or group cohesion." From YaleEnvironment360:
“It’s kind of like trying to answer a question in a noisy bar and after repeated attempts to be heard, you just give the shortest answer possible,” Bailey said. “Dolphins simplified their calls to counter the masking effects of vessel noise.”
Dolphins are highly social animals and use their calls to stay together as a group, talk as they feed, and call out their names when they meet new members of their species. Each animal has a distinctive whistle, which typically uses complex sound patterns with variations in pitch and frequency.

Marijuana Smell Lawsuit That Could Endanger Colorado Pot Biz Goes to Trial

| October 29, 2018 | 6:30am
 
A lawsuit filed by two Colorado landowners who claim that a nearby marijuana grow has reduced their property values in part because the smell makes horseback riding less pleasant goes to trial in Denver federal court today. And the repercussions of the suit's strategy, based on federal racketeering laws, could have far-reaching effects on the cannabis industry in Colorado and beyond.
 
The case was filed in February 2015 by Safe Streets Alliance, a national anti-pot group, on behalf of two members, Phillis Windy Hope Reilly and Michael P. Reilly. Early on, the effort didn't seem particularly professional: Note that the organization misspelled marijuana as "marajuana" in its initial press release on the subject. But SSA's success in court over the past three years-plus has overcome this gaffe.
 
 
 
I love the smell of raw reefer.  If I could, I'd make a cologne out of it. 

Milwaukee County judge under fire for detaining defense lawyer, who wound up shackled

From JSOnline:

Backlash could continue Monday over a Milwaukee County judge's decision to briefly jail an assistant public defender Friday over a perceived lack of respect and decorum.

News of the incident spread quickly among the criminal defense bar via social media on the weekend and prompted a strong response from the State Public Defender's office spokesman, Randy Kraft.

"The fact that our attorney was taken into custody, handcuffed, and belly-chained for doing his job is unacceptable," Kraft said in an emailed statement.

"The impact on our attorney and his client is of utmost concern to this agency.  The message this action sends to our attorneys, whose jobs are to be zealous advocates for the rights of their clients, undercuts a basic tenet of our justice system."

Reached over the weekend, Circuit Judge David Borowski declined to discuss the still-pending case but suggested a transcript of the exchange that led to the lawyer's detention would be available Monday.

Halloween Pictures!

I really haven't been out taking Halloween pictures this year. I have some to share with you that we have taken. Also this past weekend we had the Grandkids I will share there pictures too.

Collapse of Complex Societies

http://localfuture.org

 The collapse of complex societies of the past can inform the present on the risks of collapse. Dr. Joseph Tainter, author of the book The Collapse of Complex societies, and featured in Leonardo Dicaprio's film The Eleventh Hour, details the factors that led to the collapse of past civilizations including the Roman Empire. 2010 International Conference on Sustainability: Energy, Economy, and Environment organized by Local Future nonprofit and directed by Aaron Wissner

Or not... It is just one possibility into the future.

The Foxconn Grand Illusion

Dear Board of County Supervisors,

This quote from the JT says it all....

“There are more questions than answers right now,” said Haas. “Right now, if they don’t even know what they want to make … they don’t really know what to tell me.


The only thing Governor Scott Walker and the Republican Party of WI desires is for the citizens of SE Wisconsin to continue voting for the Republican Criminals who have turned a blind eye to the plight of the Common Citizen and have offered them the false hope of future employment at a fraction of the wages and benefits which the Politicos who rule SE WI reward themselves with!
“There are more questions than answers right now,” said Haas. “Right now, if they don’t even know what they want to make … they don’t really know what to tell me.”

Please join Cindy and I is JUST SAYING NO to allowing Wisconsin’s very own Gang of Four, Governor Scott Walker, Racine County Executive Jonathan Delagrave,  City of Racine Mayor Cory Mason & MTP President David DeGroot to violate the Wisconsin Constitution (and their Oath of Office) by granting special rights to Corporate interests, stealing people’s property, destroying multi-generational Farms alongside an entire long established Community, loosening environmental protections, permitting heavy metals water pollution, instituting slave labor wages, providing taxpayer subsidies to multi-billionaire Corporations, and politician overreach.
Sincerely,
Tim & Cindy
