Reflections From a Murky Pond

Back in 2014, Colorado completely legalized the use, sale, and growing of marijuana, the latter both by individuals and by commercial/agricultural concerns. This was hailed as a landmark in “progress,” both by the ever-drug-loving Leftists and many Libertarian sorts. And, indeed, there seems to have been little, if any, human damage or negative consequences caused by Colorado’s drug experiment.

But What About The Ecological Consequences?

With marijuana now growing all around The Centennial State, it follows that mice, rats, voles, rabbits, and various varieties of squirrels will be eating the seeds and some of the vegetation. This would both end up concentrating the cannabinoids in those prey species’ tissues, and make them both more unaware and sluggish. Hence, those rodents and similar prey animals would be easier for various predators to catch and consume.

So yeah! Stoner owls – owls both primarily subsisting upon small, terrestrial prey and being a major predator thereof – look likely to be an unforeseen, probably negative, ecological consequence of Colorado’s legalization of the use and growing of marijuana.

So… Stoned owls. That’ll be “fun.” 😛

Lies, lies, lies, and damn lies, I tell you! You can’t trust anything – much less anyone – anymore. The cake’s a rock; the dutch oven’s a cake; and the bloody rock is just years and years’ worth of piled up, dried automotive paint. 😉

Yep! Extinction Events aren’t always the catastrophes that we’ve been taught. Sometimes, they’re pretty and somewhat goofy-looking pink birds… of doom.

And No! I’m not sniping at Biden. He has little to nothing to do with either his “election” or Presidency. This is entirely aimed at the enemy apparatus that chose and installed him as POTUS and chose a “Black” female as his running mate for purely political reasons.

But hey! They chose well. I’ve got to give them that. Harris certainly looks the part and sounds and acts too.

Dad Jokes, I’m pretty sure they’ve been in existence since Man developed language and there were family structures with fathers in evidence.

I have a joke about Jason and his Argonauts, but it’s kind of long

I have a joke about Hector, but the punchline’s a drag

I have a joke about Boreas, but it’s a bit long-winded

I have a Medusa joke; it’s pretty rock solid

I have a joke about Hephaestus, but it’s pretty lame

I have a joke about Procrustes, but it’s a bit of a stretch

I have a joke about Galatea, but it stats out a bit stiff

Αστεία του αρχαίου μπαμπά
(Ancient Dad Jokes)

Now sure; these are only ones from the Hellenistic period and are specific the Mediterranean region where the ancient Greek city-states dominated the culture. That’s a necessary focus because written language is needed in order to record these bits of humor… and I’m so not going to fight my way through hieratic, cuneiform, or hanzi! 😆

And, for the pendants among us, you could say that aren’t ancient dad jokes; they’re Classical dad jokes.
