I have been told that when a story starts with the words, "I was born...", ya knew you were in trouble, so... here is me.
I was born in 1955, in a medium sized city in West Virginia. This is where I lived until I joined the military in 1975. This is also where, at the age of 15, I started toking.
My military career was spent keeping my front in place... work hard and play hard. I was deeply "in the closet" for the entire 20 years, with one exception.
I successfully steered a US Naval vessel to pay for a "party"... 'nuff said.
I was married for a while (24 years) and raised 4 children after a divorce through their teenage years, successfully.
I have 5 kids. Two of them nurses or nurses to be. Two of them are US Marines. The other one is a US Soldier.
I also have 11 grandchildren.
Other than my 20 years in the military, I am a musician (Jazz/Blues) playing sax and violin (sex & violence), photographer, poet, writer, farmer, beer brewer, chandler, mead maker, carpenter, did some work in the adult entertainment industry for 6 years, daddy and grampa. I now live off the land in Northwestern Minnesota and in my spare time I fight for cannabis legalization.

Thanks for posting that Hippy! I saw it before but it’s good thing to watch first thing in morning and see that there are some intelligent women out there fighting for common sense.

TV is *such* a superficial medium. It’s less about what you say than about how you look when you say it.
The TV loves a skinny blonde. (Look at all those Fox News anchors! You’d think we’re living in Sweden!)
I like Jessica’s message but I wasn’t in love with the inflection in her voice. Oh well, it’s her choice!
And I liked how she brought it back around to MJ after the FOX “correspondent” brought up Heroin. Smooth, polished and lucky enough not to have an active/retired drug warrior in a split screen. Yeah, it’s FOX, so the “correspondent” can (and does) act as the opponent, but all in all a low hostility environment.
Great clip, posting links to my network.
I think I’m in love!
marry me jessica!
