So is this one (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/04/11/MN5816UOLA.DTL&hw=marijuana&sn=007&sc=193).  Unfortunately, it appears that the local Federal Prosecutors and DEA are choosing to ignore Attorney General Holder's change in policy
 
To paraphrase Lily Thomlin:
 
We don't follow the rules.  We don't have to.  We're the Government

Bill; check out the schedule at the end and notice who's playing at 12:30.  I thought that scene looked familiar.

Dave:
 
What a small world!  Ben lives in North Carolina, like you.  Do you know him?  He's a great guy, a great songwriter, and a lawyer to boot!  I'll be getting out your way one of these days as my brother now lives in Hickory (I've never visited since he moved there), and I know you, Ben, and an old college buddy all residing in the state.
 
Bill, tgo

I don't know Ben, but apparently he lives in Asheville, so he's close, about 30 minutes.  When I go into town, town is Asheville.  Asheville is a wonderful community, as I imagine Ben would confirm.  When you get over this way you may want to stay at one of the really nice Bed & Breakfast houses; there are several in Montford where Ben lives.  Hickory is down the mountain, a couple hours from my house.  I was born near Hickory, and before I moved to Asheville I lived in Catawba County where Hickory is the largest town.  Hickory has a nice minor league ballpark that you would appreciate.
