The Great College Experience: Top Memories @ Uni to Last Forever (That 1st Time Blown Away)

"I'll be loving you everynight & everyday, baby, everyday, everyday, #everyday" ... Tonya & Queen Bee and the Blue Hornet Band
 


 In the fall of 1992 I transferred into Penn State Uni #HappyValley State College, PA from Marquette Uni in Milwaukee, WI where... I used to comb the city in search of live blues & jazz (occasionally finding a band bold enough to let me sing roadhouse blues impromptu "out-of-blue" w/ them) but, yeah, the first fall I heard Queen Bee & The Blue Hornet Band @PSU I was blown away & felt it.

Hanging out with Tonya on the orange couch (the Bermuda Triangle) at our 712 C West Beaver townhome when she'd come visit was definitely in the top memories of the great college experience ("a feast of friends"). ..

Why Are Parents Outraged by Having to Take New Realistic Methods for Parenting?! ...

We Need To Parent Our Sons AND Our Daughters?!
www.huffingtonpost.com
 
 
Regarding "time to start #parenting our sons & daughters" in light of new state laws on #weed (Colorado & Washington even legalizing recreational use of small amounts) + new stance America's top cop Eric Holder has set for federal government on #marijuana that they will no longer #target non violent, low level #potheads (that that's not a good way to spend law enforcement re$ources)
 
 
 
 
and, furthermore, Dr. Sanjay Gupta stating DEA has not been honest with us on marihuana = will be interesting to see how parents will have to start having a more realistic & honest conversation on #weed with sons & daughters instead of relying on the police 
 
Aug 19, 2013 - Seattle police handed out bags of Doritos to Hempfest attendees to educate them about new "saner" marijuana laws.
 

 e.g. "Mommy & Daddy as adults can have marihuana but no you cannot = you are too young & the new laws state you cannot legally have small amounts of #pot like mommy & daddy until you're 21!"
 
 
SORRY   ;)


@NewEdayMedia: @MHarrisPerry plz ask PAGovCandidate what about shootings everyday&nite raging in Pittsburgh but yet targeting nonviolent lowlevel #potheads
