Hey, that's only from July to Halloween, plenty of other days of sunshine!

Uh oh, my Grant Generals fell from 80% down to 66%?

I wondered who the Globetrotters were touring with these days

Looked like the usual suspects mainly, but I am very surprised there were so many Eugene area schools at the bottom. You'd think a college town would produce lots of college students - Corvallis does. What's going on down there, riverman?

I wonder if there is a database to find out how many people graduated from your high school, the year that you did. Like, if you graduated in 1997, what was the %, etc.

I honestly don't know if I knew of anyone who didn't graduate from my school.


(of course, I was home schooled)

Spoiler

no I wasn't

My school, which as I said is bottom on the list had fewer and fewer people every year, I think it was down to like single digits by graduation (I home schooled myself senior year and graduated 5 months before they did).

My high school was no. 1 in Oregon for public high schools that year. I even got a scholarship.

Corvallis has it's share of pot, I can attest to that.

What year did you go to Grant?

 

[julius]

That's not too impressive when you factor in that there was only 1 high school in Oregon when you were in high school.

That's too bad. There are so many people trying to grow pot in Oregon that you can't make any money at it. At least legally anyway.

well, by the amount of dispensaries in the city, I would say someone has to be making money off of it.

Well I'm sure they would like to... However, due to the abundant supply I don't think they're making much, if any, profit.

We're voting on making it legal to sell regular non medical pot in the city here this November, soon there will be even more legal pot out there.

Yeah, caught red handed.

I did go to one of the oldest high schools West of the Mississippi. Lincoln Hall at PSU was the building where my mother went to Lincoln High.

I saw in a recent alumni newsletter where we will be celebrating 150 yrs of Lincoln High School this year.

When I was about 21 my parents had a large backyard vegetable garden. Right up against the foundation at the rear of the house I sneaked in a few pot seeds among some of mom's favorite flowers. She discovered them, dug them up and threw them away. She then blamed my 18 year old brother. Just to show you how much character I had, I kept silent and let him take the fall. He protested but even he couldn't believe I would do it so he surmised that it must have been neighbor kids.

All of my family, mother, father, brother, have passed away now. I dearly wish I could go back in time and take the blame. Probably would have given my mother a heart attack. My brother would have rolled on the floor laughing at me.

A few years later, I grew a pot plant in a flower pot with some potting soil. One Friday night, I decided to uproot it when it was about three inches tall. I put it on a cookie sheet and left it in the oven at a very low temperature for an hour or so until it was dry and crunchy. I crushed it and made a joint out of it. It knocked me on my ass. A bit too strong.
