Hey, I was out doing my first driving training with my 15 year old daughter. We survived and no one or nothing non-animate was injured. Except for maybe the passenger floor board...

A brother in arms! I have been doing the same with my 17 year old daughter. She actually didn't want to drive at 15, but then, well, EVERYONE got their license and now she feels left out. So, a late bloomer. In Kansas, we have to have 50 hours of driving time logged for her in addition to driver's school, which is already done.

We are about half way done. She is doing well, but I still get white knuckles when we hit the on-ramp for an interstate --- she is just too damn polite and wants to wait for everyone and their uncle while in the merge lane.

Regards,

Same situation. My son pulls up to the corner, signals for a right turn, and then CREEPS along into the turn. Meanwhile, that car a mile up the road to the left is roaring right along at high velocity. A little worried, I told my son " let's go"...and we went from 1 MPH to Warp 1. Then the speed cop in his trap pulls out, lights flashing. Pulls over Mr. High Velocity ( who was by now about to rear end us). Teen Age son has a heart attack when he sees the cop's light bar go off.

He may never get behind the wheel again

My 15 year old son has had his learner's permit since May. He's doing a great job, and will be fine to get his full license after a full year of driving with us. My wife, on the other hand may have several nervous breakdowns by then.

98F here is sunny Denver Colorado, with rain in the forecast. Which of course means hail, and those circular cloud thingies everyone gets so excited about.

All I hear about out of Denver these days is how people are staring at the clouds in general. Circular clouds with pastels from the sunset...you know, it's so beautiful, man! [takes a drag] Where are the chips? Plus, I've got cottonmouth goin' here too...

Don't forget the brownies, man!

I hear a lot of stuff like that, but from ground level let me say local government staff flunkies are doing all they can to tax that industry, and at prodigious rates. There are a few bunkers (have to be, to keep out the industrious and bored youth), but they are not as prolific as one might think.

The WSJ had a big piece yesterday about the problems with standarization in the 'products' being sold. Since there's no standardized national THC measurement / standards (it's still illegal nationally), there's been no homogeneity of product and comparatives / doseage and administration is impractical.

Who's going to pay for laboratory testing of product? The more costs you put into the system (taxes, registration, licensing, quality testing, etc.) the more likely to drive the market back underground. It's an interesting conundrum.

Then the taxman will redouble his efforts and interest. It's illegal , damn it! (Unless of course we can reap taxes from it!). I suspect that the future may see corporations being given licenses to distribute , have taxes collected and some form of FDA or similar type organization involved, like was done to certain drugs at the turn of the 20th century. After all, even machine guns are legal if you are willing to do the paperwork and pay the taxes. This way you get control AND taxes! A Bureaucrats dream!

The only thing better would be 1. Collecting taxes on the 'regulated' business 2. Establishing some big, top-heavy bureaucracy to 'oversee' the regulation and 3. Eventually decrying the practice and supporting state class-action suits against the product some time down the line. The latter ostensibly because of some unforseen health issue, of course. Then they can use the class-action as some sort of windfall for the general fund. It's all about the children!

Repeat as necessary.
