Back to the 60's!

         SATURDAY, APRIL 25TH
 
     No. Today's Blog has nothing to do with
the temperature. Although about now some
60's would be nice!
     I'm writing about the 1960's which, to
some extent, I found during my visit to
Hawaii's Big Island over the past two weeks.
     I'm thinking that some of the 60's
"Hippies", or their off springs, have found
their way to our 50th state.
     Last Monday, for instance, we left a
popular beach area just before it was
taken over by a large crowd of people
who showed up for a weed smoking party.
They were celebrating "Weed Day", a
Counter Culture movement that can be
traced back to a Police Code, "420",
used to dispatch officers to someone seen
smoking marijuana.
      Of course some folks didn't need a
special day for their celebration. I've
already written about a few who brought
their own "pot" to a pot luck sunset dinner
at that same beach.
     We also found a lot of young folks,
reminiscent of those in the 60's, who
found their way to Hawaii, and now
exist there working odd jobs they can
find or preforming for food at the local
Farmer's Market.
     It may take a while to pay off College
loans at that rate!
     The climate lends itself to a "Live
free" lifestyle for some. Hope they're
not too surprised when they get the
bill.......and that all your NEWS is
good!
