craig...
you beat me here
you beat me here and you got a comment section and I did not

that photo that was used for my blog is an interesting one
that is Jim Rapp... a dc bicycle messenger in the 80's into the 90's
also a man of supply and demand

jim got busted for growing and selling weed

the story is only more amusing because he got busted because he invited a guy to stay with him under the conditions he taught him to grow mushrooms

apparently the mushrooms were pretty potent
as the grower took some mushrooms and called and threatened the vice president

he stayed on the phone for a long time
I think he was still on the phone when he answered the door

the cops opened the door and stumbled on what was the largest marijuana bust in dc history

jim rapp went to jail
he did no pass go
he did not collect two hundred dollars

jim who was a sensational athlete and a great guy got MS while in prison

he lives in upstate NY now
we have spoken a few times

I am waiting for his story to be told in book form

-zilla out
