Hey y'all. I've been busy as shit, working almost all the time and doing lots of traveling and such...but I was on the computer for something else tonight, and my fingers began to drift over this way. I just wanted to drop in and say Merry Christmas, to all of you who celebrate. To all of those who don't, what the hell is wrong with you? No seriously I'm just kidding, I hope EVERYONE is having a really good time right now, and I hope those who do celebrate these holidays are doing so in style. I do not necessarily believe in Jesus (or the Bible), and I certainly don't believe in capitalism/materialism, so I'm not one for "traditional" Holiday events...but I do love the spirit which imbues peoples lives at this time of year.
I hope you all find time to share your time, with the ones you love, with strangers, with those who need it most and with those who you need the most. I hope you all are eating well, staying safe and having lots and lots of fun. The weather is getting very cold and blustery here, and Winter has finally decended in full force. It always make me think of how hard it must be to be homeless at this time of year (as if it isn't ALWAYS hard...) If you can, I hope some of the big hearts that frequent this board will take the time to make a difference in someone else's life this year: something as small as donating old clothes you never wear anymore can make a world of difference to someone who is truly in need...
Anyway, I also wanted to leave a little note for Tom and Pam. Guys, I have been thinking...and I can honestly say that the PD is far and away the best material object I've aquired this year, which has actually been a year filled with the shedding of material possesions for me. What you've given me, and so many others, has DRASTICALLY changed my habits, helped me to heal my lungs/body in general and given me cause to think about my usage patterns. The PD is an intellegent machine, designed by compassionate people for those in need of it. It is not for everyone, but to those who open their minds to this beautiful vaporizer...prepare to be innundated by change. Thank you Tom, and thank you Pam, for your kindness and your work. You're really making a difference in this community.
To the community--thanks for being here! Thanks for being all that you are, down to the last individual. I miss this place a lot and lament that life is so chaotic right now, but I am happy just knowing that there are informed individuals such as yourselves out there, fighting the good fight and beating back the stereotypes that swarm around Cannabis users everywhere: with vapor we will show the world we are capable of critically analyzing a situation AND enjoying the gifts of the earth...the stereotype of a vapid stoner must be done away with...and vapor is, I think, a corner stone in this revolutionization of the image of the Cannabis user.
Anyway, best of luck to everyone over the Holidays, please stay safe and don't drink too much (if you drink). Remember that spirits can be raised in more ways than one...
and
to all, and best of luck in the coming year (I have a feeling this is going to be a big one...)

Did you know if they were having any kind of holiday specials?
For most people, marriage is the toughest of life's tasks.
ps. I thought the Chinese were first, correct me, please...
It's always a recorded voice message though...
