Cops on the Hill
Stories from the Week of January 15, 2021
Almost cried: I had just started my presentation on the phone, when the staffer broke in. ‘Haven’t been to our office before? Big cowboy hat?’…that’s me, I replied. “I miss you and the visits. You were always so nice and funny.” (Note: I deadpan an offer “free samples” of marijuana or heroin to staffers…some almost dial 911. Offices do offer free samples of products made in their district or state..like Virginia peanuts) My heart was touched and I was nearly speechless.
Note: my emails to set up these meetings include a foto of Misty and me on a Colorado street corner in 2012, moving the MJ legalization vote.
