***To the food shelf at Minnehaha United Methodist Church.
***On the way back, I picked up a discarded Pioneer Press to see if it had anything interesting. It did: "The do-it-yourself method creates just enough meth for a few hits, allowing users to make their own doses instead of buying mass-produced drugs from a dealer."
And add another to the list of possibly-fatal things people do while driving.
***Near home, I saw someone riding a bike while walking two dogs.
***Mail: Uncle Hugo's Science Fiction Bookstore/Uncle Edgar's Mystery Bookstore newsletter for September-November. The list of recently received and forthcoming sf/fantasy includes books with strong mystery elements. The mystery list includes some with fantasy and science fiction elements.
At least one mystery novel has an ancient document which could shake the foundations of the Roman Catholic Church. And at least one has a Catholic organization involved in A Conspiracy. Where are the Protestant, Orthodox, etc. conspiracies and faith-shaking documents?
***To Southwest Senior Center, to get on the Internet. Encountered a delay: there was a very popular travel program, and the audience blocked access to the computer lab.
***Radio news: a court in Argentina had ruled that it's unconstitutional to punish people for using marijuana.
Next day I checked Google News, which gave me this from the New York Times:
Argentine Court Decriminalizes Private Marijuana Use
By ALEXEI BARRIONUEVO
Published: August 25, 2009
Argentina’s Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday that it was unconstitutional to punish an adult for possessing and consuming marijuana if it did not endanger others. In a unanimous ruling, the court struck down criminal penalties for using drugs "in private." The court said public officials needed to fight illegal trafficking of narcotics while adopting methods to treat drug use as a health issue.
