My next door neighbor is a guy named Ed.
He is a blue collar kind of guy, who loves his dogs, drinking beer, and going fishing on weekends.
Ed owns a fifteen-foot long fishing boat, but about a month ago he put it on block in his front yard. At first I thought that Ed was doing some repairs, and needed to put the boat in “dry dock.” This was not the case at all, I came to find out. Ed was no longer using the boat for fishing. His wife had kicked him out, so he was living in it, like an apartment! Ed and I are fairly close, because we both enjoy drinking bourbon and smoking top quality cannabis, so I went over to see how he was doing. He set up a couple of lawn chairs on his boat and we hung out, sharing some cannabis and a bottle of bourbon. Ed explained that part of the reason his wife had kicked him was due to cannabis. Not because he smoked cannabis, but because he had been selling it to make extra money. His wife felt scared, because cannabis is not legal in this state yet, and she wanted Ed off the property until he changed his sinful ways. Since Ed is not making an extra thousand dollars a month from cannabis sales, he has no desire to quit the business! Besides, he said that he has started to enjoy living on the fishing boat, and out here he can smoke as much marijuana as he wants.
