The Summer of Kristy

[Nitro Express]

I don't everything but the fundamentals are still there and fucking good riddance anyways to the old "music industry". They raped artists repeatedly and really the same denominator is that the real money is in the touring and not in making albums. The money only sparingly went to big acts anyway. But I could give a fuck about Don Henley's retirement fund at this point. Look at that Uncle Milty's nephew cunt that totally fucked Van Halen on their first contract. Really not sad if fucking dicks like that dont have a job anymore...

It all revolved around radio. You only had a few choices so local radio stations were heavy influencers. Many bands got their break from a local DJ. Radio as we knew it is gone.

Loser!

As usual, you're invited, Von. But be warned, you'll be doing drugs with some rich asshole liberals (well, two of them) but the upshot is they love guns. They bring along their guns and bitch a lot about the government - like you do. You'd fit right in.

[Nitro Express]

It's back! Last week of June I'm going back to Bailey to do nothing but drugs for 5 weeks straight.




Did I mention that I love drugs? And summer? And doing drugs in summer?

Don’t get mauled by a bear.

[Kristy]

Let's see:

I have my drugs
My playlist
Plenty of food and water
My uber rich liberal friends

And then comes a summons in the mail for jury duty. Motherfucker.

[Kristy]

Well, I managed to get out of jury duty (told them I was mentally unstable and guess what, they believed me).

Begins of what else? First day of summer.


See you suckers on the other side

I finally got a jury duty notice last year, for the county court. Then I got a notice for the city court the same week. I used the county notice as an excuse to get out of the city jury duty. Then the ridiculous post-Covid procedure for the county jury was to dial a telephone number every night for a week or so, to see if my "number" was picked. My number was 30 something, and by the time they got to 20 they had their jurors. So it was like the equivalent of getting the high lottery number in the Vietnam war draft, or something.

I wasn't really looking forward to being on a jury, but slightly pissed of that they wait this long to ask me, and then make me wait around all week for nothing.

Uh, you are mentally unstable.

[Kristy]

Uh, you are mentally unstable.

You're too kind, Von.

Meh. I don't mind jury duty. Have been summoned several times. Never got to the point in the voir dire where I was even questioned because a panel had already been selected before it was my turn to be asked anything. I get if people need to be excused because of a legitimate reason. I just figure it's my civic duty.

[Nitro Express]

I've been summoned more times than I can remember but never had to actually show up. Hell if you live in a mobbed up state it might be profitable to be on the jury. Someone might show up with a big bag of money for you.

[Nitro Express]

You're too kind, Von.

Best to score your weed from an old hippie growing some in the middle of a corn field. All that processed shit from the dispensaries will fuck you up.

[Nitro Express]

Ha! I was talking to someone who has been a major pot head since 7th Grade. He's a brilliant computer programmer now but in high school he was a stoner. He told me the best weed he ever had was he took the seeds from some Mexican bunk reefer we used to get in the late 70's. You got a bag and it had dirt and twigs and shit in it. You had to clean you weed and you had to get the seeds out of it. Anyways he planted the seeds in a remote corner of his parent's property and they they grew into beautiful pot plants and he said that was the best pot he ever smoked. He said the pot world is full of a lot of hocus pocus and bullshit. Especially now. He laughed and said Fuck the Cannibus Cup!

[FORD]

Somebody stuck a baggie of seeds into my locker in jr. high. Never did figure out who it was. Unfortunately before I could figure out where to plant them, my mom found the seeds. And of course she took them right to the fucking police department for "identification". The cops confirmed her suspicions, but said that it wasn't illegal to have seeds so.. nothing they could do.

Years later she admitted that she planted a couple of them just for the Hell of it, but they never did anything. Probably got eaten by a bird or a squirrel, since we always had a lot of critters running around.

So much for my one brief attempt to grow my own. Not that I would have had a clue how to do it at that age.

Back in the 70's my brother and I planted some seeds in our front yard flower beds... told our mom they were ferns. That went well until one day she was having some ladies lunch at the house and the wife of a sheriffs deputy pointed them out to her... our mom swore to her "oh no, those are ferns." The woman laughed and asked who told her that? Mom ratted us out... She called her husband who stopped by and confirmed it was weed... We got our surf boards taken away and grounded for a month...
