Weekly Ramblings

Its starting to look a little like Christmas outside... It really doesnt look like that around here in Denver with temps today topping off at 58 but rest assured there is a cold front moving in just before Christmas Eve. We might just get that "White Christmas" this year. I read the other day that snow has fallen only 11 times the past 110 years, That's a mere 10%. There has been snow on the ground but not falling a whopping 45% of the time...

With all that Christmas hoopla going on and everyone out of work and people are starting to get hungry. And when that happens place start getting robbed. 14 Banks were robbed in Denver over the course of last week. 14 Banks! And lucky nobody has gotten hurt so all the media shows is a little tiny clip in the back of the local section talking about a bank robber that got away, maybe a small pic Denver Post And unfortunately another trend is starting to occur in Denver. Medical Marijuana Dispensary robberies! Granted there were only 2 last week but the local media got there meaty hands on and exploded the situation and spreading fear throughout the community.

Please if you have a dispensary take the extra steps to secure your venue, patients and medicine. Once the robbers realize that robbing a dispensary is no better than robbing a 7-11, the practice will stop.

70-yr-old granny arrested with 40kg marijuana

Mumbai: At 70, Gangubai Kshirsagar looks like a granny who would love to divide her time between praying and her grandchildren. But Kshirsagar seems to be far more adventurous than that.

The Bandra unit of the police's anti-narcotics cell (ANC) on Saturday arrested Kshirsagar with 40kg marijuana worth Rs10 lakh. A middle-class Maharashtrian from Solapur, the police say she is one of the biggest drug suppliers in the city and has been involved in the narcotics trade for over a decade.

Kshirsagar had two sons, but one of them died. Her other son and grandchildren live in Dombivli, where they run an indoor games facility.

"She is a record-sheet drug supplier and has been arrested in the past by the ANC and the local police. In 2005, she was held with 50kg marijuana. She served one-and-a-half years in prison for it," said inspector Mrityunjay Hiremath from the ANC.
