Smokeout a Bust; Names

It is a gorgeous day outside - bright blue skies, a few high clouds, temperature is 63 right now.  I've been to the store and grabbed what I need to make the upside-down cake; I'll head over to Kathy's later this morning.  My kits are going in and out the patio door, and all has been quiet, until I typed that sentence.  There is a family of 7 ravens that are scolding Nedi and Lovey in the back yard right now, so it definitely isn't quiet.  Nedi has turned into a very lackadaisical squirrel hunter - I think he just enjoys watching them, and seeing if he can make them run away from him.
   The 4/20 Smokeout event turned into a big nothing in Boulder.  Last year, there were over 10,000 participants, and it cost the University $55,000 to handle it.  This year, they spent almost three times that amount - instead of a huge crowd, between 300 and 700 students (and others) gathered in Central Park, next to the Public Library, and then marched south on Broadway to the CU campus.  Norlin Quad was surrounded by "Do Not Cross This Line" tape, so the crowd went on to the Physics Quad, (with police watching), and lit up at 4:20.  Three people were arrested for trespassing (they crossed the yellow police tape lines); 11 were ticketed for trespassing; and one lone person was ticketed for possession of marijuana.   -  In Denver, several thousand people congregated, and lit up at 4:20 in one of their public parks.
   I had to laugh yesterday: there was a write-up about names that used to be used frequently, and are not used often now.  Among the boys' names were Donald, Richard, and Ronald.  The girls' names included Betty (my name), Linda and Mary.  Having been researching my brother-in-law's family, I'd like to add the following names to the list:  Boys - Achiacus, Amslic, Arieh, Eliphalet, Epaphras, Erastus, Jabez, Melancton, Mephibosheth, and Tyxhal; Girls - Abiatha, Hepzibah, Mahala, Mehitabel, Oddie, Philura, Theodate, Zenobia, and Zeruiah.  (And Spell-Check highlighted every name, except Jabez and Mahala.)
   Tomorrow is Earth Day!  Celebrate our past, and our future...  plant a growing green thing - a tree, a bush, herbs, or a flowering plant.  (I'm planting catnip!)  Without Earth, we wouldn't be around........
