It's 420. Wooooooooo!!!!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/420_(cannabis_culture)

The term was allegedly coined by a group of teenagers in San Rafael, California in 1971.[2][3] Calling themselves the Waldos, because "their chosen hang-out spot was a wall outside the school,"[4] the group first used the term in connection to a fall 1971 plan to search for an abandoned cannabis crop that they had learned about.[5] The Waldos designated the Louis Pasteur statue on the grounds of San Rafael High School as their meeting place, and 4:20 p.m. as their meeting time.[4] The Waldos referred to this plan with the phrase "4:20 Louis". Multiple failed attempts to find the crop eventually shortened their phrase to simply "4:20", which ultimately evolved into a codeword the teens used to mean pot-smoking in general.[5]

All this time I thought it had something to do with a police code. :confused:
 
I called in sick to work so I can.... well, lie around in bed and be sick all day, as I have spent the last two days doing as well.
 
Usually Parliament Hill fills up with people smoking pot today, but since it's cold and rainy, I somehow doubt that'll happen this year. :lol:

As for me? No plans. I don't smoke pot, personally.
 
I enjoyed a very pleasant day sitting around in the warm sunshine doing very, very little. Oh, and I got a haircut in the afternoon. The only drugs I took were two coffees over a long lunch. Good enough for me.
 
And now it's 4:20 on 4/20. I suppose I could see if there are any stoners on the mall.
 
I will say that I am very glad that I'm not on duty tonight in the dorms. I would hate to be the poor sods who have to do rounds and be on-call today.
