Poem: Probability

By Jack Brummet


Simple probability
And statistics

Tell us ineluctably
That the more times

You stick your head
In the lion's mouth,

The more likely it is
That one day he will close it.

Well, slap my ass and call me Sally. The City Attorney of Seattle was one of the first people in line to buy leaf today.

By Jack Brummet, Seattle Metro Ed.


It is fascinating that the city attorney, Pete Holmes, of Seattle was in line to buy reefer at the Cannabis City opening today.

“I bought 2-2 gram bags of OG Pearl which was recommended,” said Holmes. “I’m keeping one bag for posterity and one for personal enjoyment at some point when it’s appropriate.”

Man, things have changed.  I didn't expect I'd ever live to see this.  Despite all the chaos, I hope it all works out.

You can find more detail and more from Pete Holmes here.
