Good morning. 🌹🌹🌹

6 December 2025

As I was walking down the street one day with Charlie, a fellow I knew from my last job pulled over while driving by, and we spent a few minutes catching up. This was maybe a month ago. He filled me in on the latest gossip—things I’m mostly oblivious to these days, especially since I stopped working. He still has more contact with the old crowd than I do.

Anyway, he reported that a mutual acquaintance, someone who had also worked at the same place in a mid-management role, came up hot on a drug test and was immediately fired. Interesting, I thought. I personally worked there for 17 years, and although drug testing was always a possibility, not once did they ever administer one to employees.

The rumor is that marijuana was the source of the infraction. Since the work involves a government contract, such things are still very much frowned upon. Of course, my information is at least third-hand—passed from someone who heard it from someone else, who probably heard it from yet another source. Still, I have to assume other employees would notice the absence of a familiar figure who had been on the job for over 20 years.

The man I spoke with also mentioned that marijuana is legal in Louisiana. It isn’t—except for medical use. I suppose I can understand his confusion, with so many states around the country declaring it legal for recreational purposes. But not Louisiana.

Nearly spit out my morning coffee watching this! Same thing happened to my daughter’s mother-in-law.
