traipsing thru the treetops
Two weeks ago we were up at my Mom's in far northeastern Wisconsin - we were sitting out on the deck one evening at dusk. The sun had set, but it wasn't fully dark yet, that time my Dad used to call the "gloaming"....

Anyway, a pair of loons started having a conversation with each other. One was on Mom's lake, the other was a distance off. It was absolutely riveting. Nobody said a word, for almost 20 minutes. That was cool.
We have a mated pair of barred owls that live in our woods. Their tree is directly across the creek from our house. There are others we can hear in the distance, but George & Gracie chat nearly every night.
One of the funny sounds we get is the doppler coyotes. They will occasionally run east to west along the creekbed north of the house, yipping the whole way. Starts soft, gets louder, then really loud, then softer, then disappears.
I sooooo love living out here!

My cousin is getting married at 4:20. She and her fiance both work in a medical weed shop.
In Oregon? Oops just saw you answered another state. In Oregon it doesn’t need to be medical and there are shops everywhere, seems like. I hold my breath when I walk by one.

Not exactly sure.

Not just you, for anyone who might know. How do these dope shops work? Someone was telling me in CO you have to sign in with an ID, register and anything smoked has to happen in the house that it’s sold in. Is that legit?

All I know about the Oregon ones - well the one we walk by from our regular Comfort Suites place to the sports bar around the corner (when we need to fly out early or get in late in Portland) is that you must be legal, 21 I think, and you must stay inside. Doors are solid and you can’t see inside so I have no idea about the rest of your questions. Oh, and you just look for the green cross that identifies these places.

Y'all can be singular or plural. I worked with a woman that met her husband on a beach in Florida. He grew up in Alabama.
She was with two friends and he walks up and asked "Y'all want to go out to dinner with me?"
They looked at him and said "All three of us?"
His response was to point at her and say "not y'all, just y'all"

When I was fishing in Oh Canada! we witnessed a loon catch a fish, and another loon trying to take it away from him (I'm assuming Him). The one with the fish would duck under the water and swim maybe 100', while the chaser would run/flap across the top of the water after him. I'll bet they were at it for 400 yards before the first one got enough space to get the fish eaten. Pretty entertaining.
