Happy 420

I think the significance of 420 has changed over the last few decades. It is the birthday of Adolph Hitler (yay). Rumors persist as to how it started from a group of San Rafael, Ca high schoolers to the code name of Cops for pot, to a number of other things.

Today, for me, it shows a change in political attitude. Cannabis's change from a counterculture symbol to just another commodity that big companies make big money from and lobby for. I consider that sort of an improvement. It is a comprimise of sorts.

The yay is a sarcastic yay.

Peace and love- that was the original theme I believe and happy 420 to all

420 was started by The Waldos, the kids of San Rafael High. It's not a rumor, it's documented.

I broke my leg as a 15-year-old on a damned skateboard.

I've only broken my thumb, and my nose

The first time I broke my nose, I went over a rimrock on my '73 Hodaka Wombat and drove my face into the ground- i also dislocated my knee for good effect

The second time I broke my nose I was horsing around with my friend in boot camp and got elbowed in the nose

The third time I broke my nose I was bodysurfing at Makapu'u and went over the falls on a freak wave- the backwash had sucked up all the water so I did a face-first free-fall into about 2' of water

Sounds like your nose has taken a lot of abuse over the years.
I broke two bones in my hand working in the woods as a young man. I got my feet tangled in some Cedar limbs, lost my balance, tried to grab another limb, missed it and struck a log with my pinkie and ring finger which bent backwards until the bones popped. I ended up between two logs on the ground upside down. The only good thing was I got 6 weeks off during Steelhead season and they left my thumb and fore finger out of the cast so I could still operate a reel.

I took my one-armed friend fishing and he caught his first fish since losing his arm
