  3. John Hughes – „Ein Ticket für Zwei“ (1987)

    „Planes, Trains & Automobiles“ – Das ist Klassikeralarm im ZDF! Leider wiedermal, wie so häufig, in der völlig falschen Jahreszeit. Und das ärgert mich. Weil es hier um Thanksgiving geht. Dem amerikanischen Fest der Familie. Und dem Fest der echten Zumutungen, vor allem der überfüllten Flughäfen. Keine subtile Warnung hier, nur das volle Leben. Mit Steve Martin und John Candy. (ZDF, Wh.)

  4. Back home now, so here's some assorted Animal Crossing pics from this past weekend.

    We celebrated Turkey Day. I visited two of my nephew's islands and dropped them off some bells so they could pay off some loans. I also celebrated Kabuki's birthday.

    Solid long weekend.

  5. Good morning. 🏠👨‍💻☕

    30 November 2025

    Well, we got back home yesterday evening. It’s Sunday today, which means Charlie (my dog) has to spend one more night in the slammer. I’ll be rescuing him first thing in the morning.

    Before we left, I told you about that squirrel who had gotten into the attic of our little Georgia house and chewed holes in the waterlines. We had those replaced on Monday, so Thanksgiving food prep could finally begin on Tuesday.

    That same day, a wildlife specialist from our exterminator company came out and sealed the house so critters couldn’t get back in. He installed a clever little trap-door contraption on one side of the roof—designed so anything inside could get out, but nothing could get back in. I’d never thought about something like that before, and it was surprisingly interesting.

    Tuesday evening, just at dusk, my wife and I were wrapping up for the day and had just gotten into the car when—who do we see? Mr. Squirrel himself, bouncing across the yard toward the house and up to the roof. We watched as he tried to get back in, only to discover he couldn’t. It was almost as if he saw us leaving and thought, “Well, now’s my chance to sneak back inside.”

    The next day, my sister noticed a leak spraying against a back window. Turns out the exterminator had accidentally nicked a water line that ran along the outside of the house to the kitchen. I called the plumbers back, and they were kind enough to fix it without charging us extra.

    It’s a small cinderblock house with a very low roof, and there are plenty of places where things like that can happen.

    “Home is the place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in.” – Robert Frost

    “In the hustle of life, be like a squirrel: playful, curious, and always seeking the next adventure.” – Henry David Thoreau

  6. The Holiday Odor Trap

    Filed Under: Odor Politics

    Most people assume the holiday rush is measured in miles, delays, and crowded kitchens. The truth is uglier. From Thanksgiving through New Year’s Eve, the country sees a spike in traffic stops that begin with the same old claim, that an officer “smelled marijuana.” Courts have spent years separating odor from impairment, yet the loophole stays wide open. It gives law enforcement a way to turn ordinary travel into a fishing expedition.

    Some states have ruled that smell alone cannot justify a search, while others treat it as fair game. The public rarely knows the difference. Drivers heading to see family pass through counties where a scent on a jacket is enough to escalate a stop. Officers use it because it works. It softens the ground for questioning, it expands their authority, and it moves the conversation away from what actually matters, which is whether the driver is safe.

    Most holiday travelers are not impaired. They are tired, stressed, and trying to get where they are going. cannabis lives in homes and clothes the same way kitchen spices do. A single smoked joint on Thanksgiving Eve can leave a jacket scented for days. Officers know this. Courts know this. Yet people still get pulled aside because the scent is treated like a confession.

    The pattern is predictable. The officer leans in, mentions odor, then asks questions that have nothing to do with driving. People feel cornered and start explaining things they never needed to explain. That is the moment a simple stop becomes a long delay on the side of the road.

    Holiday traffic and police practice collide in a way that punishes normal life. The country is filled with legal markets. People buy edibles and flower for the same reason they buy wine. They visit friends. They share a moment on the porch. The plant is legal in half the country, but its scent is still treated like probable cause.

    The holiday season should not require a legal strategy, yet that is where the country stands. Smell is treated as suspicion even in states that claim to respect legalization. People drive through a patchwork of laws that shift from town to town. What protects a driver in one county is ignored in the next.

    The courts may eventually close the gap. Legislatures may force consistency. Until then, drivers are left with common sense and preparation. The safest choice is to remove the excuse entirely. Officers cannot prove what they cannot smell, and they cannot escalate what they cannot justify.

    Practical Tips For Holiday Drivers Who Want To Avoid The Odor Trap

    Keep jackets and bags outside the smoking area. Most odor claims come from clothing, not the person.

    Use clean gear during travel days. People who vape during the holiday tend to switch to something low profile. This is where PAX vaporizers fit naturally because they keep the ritual clean and contained.

    N.Y. CANNABIS SCANDAL

    New York’s cannabis market suffered a public collapse after regulators dropped a major case against Omnium Canna and forced out acting executive director Felicia A. B. Reid. The scandal revealed a system unable to enforce its own rules and a legal market left vulnerable to illegal competition, political pressure, and structural failure.

    WHY WEED SHOPS DON’T HIRE HEADS

    Weed shops profit from cannabis culture while refusing to hire the people who shaped it. Insurers, compliance officers, and corporate rules punish cannabis users even in legal states. Testing myths, background screening, and liability fear filter out anyone with real experience. The result is a workforce designed to exclude the culture that keeps the industry…

    Do not store old flower containers or ash in the car. Empty jars and forgotten tubes hold scent long after they are cleaned.

    Seal anything with a smell. A simple airtight pouch prevents the easiest excuse an officer can use.

    Travel clear headed. Some readers prefer relief without impairment during long drives. Endoca CBD has become a steady choice because it stays consistent.

    Know the rules in the state you are driving through. Odor is not probable cause in some states, yet it remains a tool in others.

    Keep conversations simple and respectful. You do not need to explain your holiday habits.

    Remember that odor is not evidence of impairment. Courts have split them apart. Officers blend them because it expands their authority.

    BAD SEEDS IN WASHINGTON

    Federal lawmakers quietly inserted language into a budget bill that could criminalize countless cannabis seeds based solely on the THC profile of the parent plant. The move threatens growers, breeders, medical cultivators, and the genetic diversity that built modern cannabis culture. This seismic shift puts control of the plant’s future in the hands of federal…

    Reefer Report Card Vol. 26: Nov 29-Dec 06

    This week’s Reefer Report Card exposes the scromiting panic, Washington’s latest hemp crackdown, and the Supreme Court inching toward a decision that could rewrite prohibition. Patients and veterans stayed stuck in outdated systems while global reform moved forward with hesitation. Panic got headlines. Weed got scapegoated. The world kept smoking anyway.

    THE SCROMITING SCAM

    American newsrooms turned a simple overuse incident into a nationwide scare. Scromiting headlines exploded overnight, burying real CHS facts under panic and misinformation.

    Omaha Tribe Legal Cannabis vs Nebraska Prohibition

    Nebraska still criminalizes cannabis, yet the Omaha Tribe has built a legal system with real rules, licensing, and a working industry on sovereign land. This update shows how the Tribe keeps moving forward while the state stays rooted in prohibition. The border is now the flashpoint. Step across it with cannabis and everything changes.

    Virginia just greenlit its long-delayed cannabis market. But is the launch plan built to last, or is it already showing cracks? The blueprint promises equity, protection from corporate takeover, and sustainable access. Advocates say it could be the first real test of Southern legalization.

    BAD SEEDS IN WASHINGTON

    Federal lawmakers quietly inserted language into a budget bill that could criminalize countless cannabis seeds based solely on the THC profile of the parent plant. The move threatens growers, breeders, medical cultivators, and the genetic diversity that built modern cannabis culture. This seismic shift puts control of the plant’s future in the hands of federal…

    Omaha Tribe Legal Cannabis vs Nebraska Prohibition

    Nebraska still criminalizes cannabis, yet the Omaha Tribe has built a legal system with real rules, licensing, and a working industry on sovereign land. This update shows how the Tribe keeps moving forward while the state stays rooted in prohibition. The border is now the flashpoint. Step across it with cannabis and everything changes.

  10. The Holiday Odor Trap

    Filed Under: Odor Politics

    Most people assume the holiday rush is measured in miles, delays, and crowded kitchens. The truth is uglier. From Thanksgiving through New Year’s Eve, the country sees a spike in traffic stops that begin with the same old claim, that an officer “smelled marijuana.” Courts have spent years separating odor from impairment, yet the loophole stays wide open. It gives law enforcement a way to turn ordinary travel into a fishing expedition.

    Some states have ruled that smell alone cannot justify a search, while others treat it as fair game. The public rarely knows the difference. Drivers heading to see family pass through counties where a scent on a jacket is enough to escalate a stop. Officers use it because it works. It softens the ground for questioning, it expands their authority, and it moves the conversation away from what actually matters, which is whether the driver is safe.

    Most holiday travelers are not impaired. They are tired, stressed, and trying to get where they are going. cannabis lives in homes and clothes the same way kitchen spices do. A single smoked joint on Thanksgiving Eve can leave a jacket scented for days. Officers know this. Courts know this. Yet people still get pulled aside because the scent is treated like a confession.

    The pattern is predictable. The officer leans in, mentions odor, then asks questions that have nothing to do with driving. People feel cornered and start explaining things they never needed to explain. That is the moment a simple stop becomes a long delay on the side of the road.

    Holiday traffic and police practice collide in a way that punishes normal life. The country is filled with legal markets. People buy edibles and flower for the same reason they buy wine. They visit friends. They share a moment on the porch. The plant is legal in half the country, but its scent is still treated like probable cause.

    The holiday season should not require a legal strategy, yet that is where the country stands. Smell is treated as suspicion even in states that claim to respect legalization. People drive through a patchwork of laws that shift from town to town. What protects a driver in one county is ignored in the next.

    The courts may eventually close the gap. Legislatures may force consistency. Until then, drivers are left with common sense and preparation. The safest choice is to remove the excuse entirely. Officers cannot prove what they cannot smell, and they cannot escalate what they cannot justify.

    Practical Tips For Holiday Drivers Who Want To Avoid The Odor Trap

    Keep jackets and bags outside the smoking area. Most odor claims come from clothing, not the person.

    Use clean gear during travel days. People who vape during the holiday tend to switch to something low profile. This is where PAX vaporizers fit naturally because they keep the ritual clean and contained.

    N.Y. CANNABIS SCANDAL

    New York’s cannabis market suffered a public collapse after regulators dropped a major case against Omnium Canna and forced out acting executive director Felicia A. B. Reid. The scandal revealed a system unable to enforce its own rules and a legal market left vulnerable to illegal competition, political pressure, and structural failure.

    WHY WEED SHOPS DON’T HIRE HEADS

    Weed shops profit from cannabis culture while refusing to hire the people who shaped it. Insurers, compliance officers, and corporate rules punish cannabis users even in legal states. Testing myths, background screening, and liability fear filter out anyone with real experience. The result is a workforce designed to exclude the culture that keeps the industry…

    Do not store old flower containers or ash in the car. Empty jars and forgotten tubes hold scent long after they are cleaned.

    Seal anything with a smell. A simple airtight pouch prevents the easiest excuse an officer can use.

    Travel clear headed. Some readers prefer relief without impairment during long drives. Endoca CBD has become a steady choice because it stays consistent.

    Know the rules in the state you are driving through. Odor is not probable cause in some states, yet it remains a tool in others.

    Keep conversations simple and respectful. You do not need to explain your holiday habits.

    Remember that odor is not evidence of impairment. Courts have split them apart. Officers blend them because it expands their authority.

  26. History Of Thanksgiving

    Cool, here’s a more in-depth look at the history of Thanksgiving — how it evolved, some of the lesser-known facts, and how it became what we celebrate today.

    Thanksgiving didn’t start as a clean, one-time “Pilgrims and Native Americans sit down for turkey” story. Sure, there was that 1621 harvest feast between the Plymouth colonists and the Wampanoag people — but the reality of that gathering was more complex. The colonists probably hunted duck or geese, and the Wampanoag likely brought venison.  That 1621 event was more of a multi-day harvest festival than a fixed holiday.

    Over the following centuries, different colonies and states held days of “thanksgiving”—usually as religious days of prayer, often when something major happened (like a drought ending or a war victory). These weren’t uniform: different places celebrated on different days.

    The idea of a national, annual Thanksgiving really took off thanks to **Sarah Josepha Hale**, an editor and writer. For decades she pushed for a unified national holiday — writing letters, editorials, and generally campaigning. Her persistence paid off when **Abraham Lincoln**, in the middle of the Civil War, proclaimed Thanksgiving a national holiday in 1863 (on the last Thursday of November) to help bring the country together.

    After Lincoln, presidents continued to issue Thanksgiving proclamations almost every year, but the exact date bounced around a little. Then, in the 20th century, **Franklin D. Roosevelt** caused a stir: in 1939, he moved Thanksgiving earlier — to give Americans more time to shop before Christmas. Many people weren’t thrilled (“Franksgiving,” anyone?), and states were split on which date to follow. Eventually, in 1941, Congress passed a law officially fixing Thanksgiving on the **fourth Thursday in November**.

    As Thanksgiving evolved, so did its traditions. Over time it became less about strictly religious observance and more about family, food, and gratitude.  Things like parades and football games became tied to the holiday. The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, for example, started in the 1920s and became a huge national tradition.

    Finally, there are modern traditions too: things like volunteering, food drives, and even the presidential “turkey pardon” — where a live turkey is spared from being eaten.
