General Economic chit chat/updates.

God created the world, weed, and man! We’re meant to live, smoke here, and die here! DFD smoke sesh! One thing I miss, is when weed was weed. Fuck all these new fangled semi legal gummies and what not , I want to rip a bong or pass around a spliff if I’m going to bother. Good old guy comment.

OT 21: DFD Giveth and DFD Taketh Away

Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times

I’ve had the thought should the need arise. That said… would I always wish it was a Hype R? I’ve been beating that drum for a while now especially since the 24’s are out which look great.
