The torrential rains of late have put me behind in mowing. I had to fuss and fiddle with the mower yesterday to get it started. I finally ended up using jumper cables to get it running. I expect a new battery is in the future. I rather regretted getting it started after all as I nearly melted from the heat and humidity. I got the mowing caught up without any tree attacks.

“But Branson also describes the U.S. obligation to combat consumption as “enormous” because it is the biggest market for drugs. Internationally, the U.S. has given billions in aid to countries for the adoption of similar policies to the war on drugs within its own borders, with a majority going to its southern neighbor. “Every time somebody in the U.S. snorts cocaine, they’re effectively contributing to the death of a Mexican,” Branson said.”
[Shaking head]The U.S. declares war and then gives billions in aid to Mexico to enact their own war and they blame the deaths on the guy minding his own business. Talk about mental gymnastics, sheesh!

Hi Michael, I don’t think there is any sure fire way to suddenly end the problems with drugs —— but I think what we have been doing for the past three decades has only compounded the problem. There has to be a better approach than the one we are using. I just wish the policy makers would take off the blinders and realizing what we are doing isn’t working.
