Last night, I dreamt Jim Morrison was on the Hollywood Squares...

I just got a poem posted at Poet’s Tea...and it begins with the line above.

Moving from poetry to tourist slogans, here’s one I came up with for the Garden State:

“It’s easy to get addicted...to New Jersey.”

Here’s why:
The 2003 New Jersey Household Survey on Drug Use and Health shows that 5 percent of state residents 18 to 25 reported using heroin at least once in their lives, compared with 2 percent of Americans in that age group overall.

“We have the best and cheapest heroin in the country,” said Carolann Kane-Cavaiola, assistant commissioner of the Division of Addiction Services. “It’s easy to get, and easy to get high.”

Finally, I can’t end this post without yet another example of humanity’s suicidal tendencies. Homo sapiens named the “the Great Lakes,” but now seem hell-bent on sapping that greatness:

“The Great Lakes stand at a crossroad. By some indicators—like fish populations in Lake Erie which have rebounded in recent decades—water quality has improved since the 1970’s. But the fish aren’t safe to eat. The beaches are increasingly contaminated with sewage. The water is generally deemed safe to drink, but we know that it is laced with at least 40 gender-bending and cancer causing chemicals.”
