4:20
Back from a very short Yuki walky (I let him lead). Contemplating a power nap before iai (which is the polite way of saying ‘imma gwaan crash’)

Back from unloading all the new tile at svale. Stacy is taking Yuki for his walky while I eat some blister peanuts, leftover butternut squash soup and maybe some noodles too.

I know, I know, 4:20 was 10 mins ago but I just got back from a Yuki walky where one of my neighbors (who I don't know gave me a huge bag of oranges because his tree is overproducing and he can't keep up). Well, that's a dumb excuse. 

I may have posted this before but if so, here we go again:

When zealous marijuana enthusiasts kept stealing the "Mile 420" highway marker, the State of Colorado got creative.

419.99 mile marker   Tim Martini (Atlas Obscura User)
About
It’s an otherwise unremarkable stretch of Interstate 70, just west of the Kansas border. There are the familiar large green mile-marker signs on the side of the highway; familiar, that is, with one exception.
Since the recreational use of marijuana was made legal in Colorado in 2012, the “Mile 420” post became a hot commodity. So hot, it kept disappearing — and the Colorado Department of Transportation got tired of replacing it.
The solution came with some out-of-the-DOT-box thinking: They shifted the spot by a hundredth of a mile, and turned Mile 420 into Mile 419.99.
There has been less sign thievery since the switch, but it hasn’t been a complete success. The Mile 419.99 sign has gone missing a few times too, but despite the occasional sticky green fingers the spot has become a destination. For some it’s just to see if the sign is for real, for others to maybe grab a few selfies. Still, perhaps surprisingly, the new signs have lasted longer than the old—the State of Colorado's rare signage creativity seems to be paying off.
 
Update June 2019: The sign has been gone since 2017.
