I expect this investigation will require a long time to conduct in order to understand the scope of the issue and quantify any conclusions the committee will reach. Oh, and it will also require a lot of Cheetos.

There is no common truth, but there are facts.
ps – i would like to nominate myself for this committee, if ‘flamin’ hot’ cheetos are available
Yes, they are — so get in line… 😉
um, does one need to be a local resident to be on that committee? if so, i will gladly move there 😀
We’re pretty progressive here in Oregon, and always open to transplants. As long as you bring your own snack food.
I know where the factory is located for Herr’s snack foods. Next time I’m out that way I will see about having them send an 18-wheeler full. That should be enough for one meeting, don’t you think?
Good plan! Maybe we can just hold the meeting inside the trailer and make a field trip out of it? I think you’ll fit right in 😉
I’ve thought about running for office…maybe this joint commission is just the ticket! Hey, I’ll bring the brownies! 🙂
LOL! You’ve got my vote!
If I was ever given the opportunity to speak at any joint commission meetings I would immediately open with ‘I don’t mean to be blunt, but…’. Clearly, I should be president.
I think you should, and you should make that statement while eating a brownie.
Where I can sign up to fire up my votes?
The competition is pretty stiff, but I’d start by brining brownies.
I meant where can I sign up? DUH, Not sure if I’m already a member of this committee.
The say the memory is the first to go 😉
Don’t you want to tell us where this was published?
Hi, Laura! It was the Eugene Register-Guard, some time back. A friend forwarded it to me after coming across it on his desk top yesterday. Not exactly sure when it was published, but I imagine it was in the last six to eight months leading up to the big “legalizing marijuana” vote hoopla.
Great!
I’m having visions of this committee, gathered around a bowl of Cheetos in a smoke-filled room, when a knock comes at the door, and a voice on the other side says,
“Hey, lemme in. It’s Dave.”
“Who?”
“Dave, man. I got the stuff. Lemme in.”
“Dave’s not here.”
HAHAHA! I used to HAVE that Cheech and Chong album! Too cool, Marcia 🙂
That’s me…older ‘n’ dirt, but cool as hell! Hahahaha. I couldn’t help it, you know. I could just see it so clearly! Through the haze, that is. Glad it made you laugh.
Many thanks, Marcia. Now I want to dig out my old Cheech and Chong albums 🙂
Me, me, me!
I think we’re going to need a bigger meeting room.
Lol!
“hey, quick, somebody turn off the smoke alarm – I don’t want to go to jail!”
LOL! We actually had a chimney fire near our house. I saw it on my way home from the newspaper, so I ran over and told the guy I was a volunteer firefighter. He says “I don’t need the fire department! I’ve got it under control!” I went in and threw water in the wood stove, and the fire went out. That’s when I noticed the marijuana smell! No wonder he didn’t want the fire department 😉
crazy, man, crazy !
it’s a good thing you got there in time and knew what to do. you must live in a small town if it has a volunteer fire department. i grew up in a small town like that in new jersey in the 1960’s
Yeah, less than 8,000 here in Florence. Our department has 50 volunteers, 6 paid staff and five stations scattered to cover 125 square miles. We have dunes, lakes, a large river and two main highways that intersect to connect the valley to the coast here. We see a lot of action in a lot of different scenarios! But that was was new to me 😉
good for you to volunteer – you look a little like my first boyfriend in high school and his dream was to be a paramedic/fireman – we lost touch when i moved across the country but he looked me up on facebook a year ago and we email now – he eventually did fulfill that dream until he developed glaucoma and had to retire. i was very impressed that he did that. so many dreams go unlived.
I’ve wanted to be a fireman for a long time, but life got in the way for a while, but I didn’t give up on it. Now I get to do the two things I love most — write and fight fires. Sometimes I even combine them by taking what I’ve written but don’t like, and then lighting it on fire 😉
