And BTW the late night Machaca smash burger is top three in town-
You gotta have your head examined if you wait in a line 30 deep to go to Chipotle when you can go to Machaca for better food

Mile Marker for Sunday Breakfast a couple of weeks ago
On Sunday Rick and I went to have breakfast at Mile Marker. It was a beautiful day and sitting outside on their deck was great. The food was great and the view outstanding.

An interesting story submitted by David Calvo:
Hello, Mr. Calvo.
I’m Jason Chu, living in Korea.
I took your one-week class in 2015. Do you remember?
Your teaching was excellent, and I’m grateful.
And the beautiful scenery of Gloucester was so inspiring and unforgettable.
I still enjoy woodcarving. However, it’s hard to find people in Korea who enjoy it as a hobby. So, I set up a small workshop in my home and work alone. Last year, I entered my woodcarving work for the first time in a local art competition and was honored to receive a special award. This December, I’ll be holding my first woodcarving exhibition. This is my first exhibition. I’m not a professional artist, but an amateur, so I’m not looking to make money.
I want to introduce people to woodcarving through this exhibition. So, the provincial government provided a small grant to hold this exhibition.
I’m 69 years old. My eyesight is deteriorating, so it’s going to be increasingly difficult for me to continue woodcarving. How many more years will I be able to continue?
I’m sending you a photo of my special award piece. In Korea, there’s a folk belief that tying dried pollack with a string wards off misfortune and brings good luck. So, I carved dried pollack out of wood. I’m sending you a few more pieces of my work and some photos I took there 10 years ago.
I’ve been receiving your emails with pleasure. Your emails bring back memories of that time there 10 years ago. I hope your workshop attracts many students and your classes are enjoyable.
I wish you continued health and happiness. And please give my regards to the owner of “The Colonial Inn,” where I stayed. I still remember his kindness and hospitality.
Regards, from Korea
Jason Chu
And more from David on background:
Here is the back story on Jason chu
Jason Chu 나무방 came all the way from South Korea (a two-day flight) to take a workshop. His son contacted me and said my father has wanted to learn woodcarving from you but he can’t speak English. He said, “is that going to be a problem?” I told him no, I don’t need words to teach him. He said “okay, I will sign him up.” So his father got his plane tickets and showed up on the first day of class. He did great in the workshop and he managed to learn everything through hand demonstrations. On his last day, he had a car service pick him up to drive him to the airport for his flight back to South Korea. As he was driving away, he stuck his head and hand out the window, looked back, waived and yelled “Bye Calvo” that was his english.

A Great Night Sleep Is Priceless!
A Great Night Sleep Is Priceless!
Need Better Sleep? CBD and CBN may help with their remarkable sleep promoting properties!
When it comes to sleep, not all cannabinoids are created equal. However, here are three cannabinoids that may influence your sleep patterns:
CBD
CBD (cannabidiol) is a non-psychoactive compound popular for its potential therapeutic benefits. One of its well-studied properties is its anti-inflammatory effect. It also possesses remarkable sleep-promoting properties due to its ability to calm the mind and body.
CBD also doesn’t make you high. Instead, it helps you relax and unwind, which could prove beneficial if you struggle with falling and staying asleep. Research suggests that CBD may help reduce anxiety, which can be a major barrier to falling asleep.
CBN
CBN (cannabinol), on the other hand, is a mildly psychoactive compound that forms when THC breaks down. It is known as the “sleepy cannabinoid in old weed” because users claim it induces sedation, which helps them to sleep.
Like CBD, CBN is often touted for its potential sedative effects. Some users report that CBN helps them fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. However, research on CBN’s sleep-promoting effects is limited, and more studies are needed to confirm its efficacy.
THC
THC is the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis. It can induce feelings of sleepiness and help you fall asleep faster. However, long-term, heavy use of THC may have drawbacks.
While it might help you fall asleep initially, it can alter your sleep cycles over time. Indeed, studies suggest that regular heavy THC use may reduce the duration of REM sleep, which is vital for memory consolidation and cognitive function.
If you’re considering using cannabinoids for sleep, it’s worth exploring products that combine different compounds. After all, researchers think when cannabis compounds work together, they enhance their overall therapeutic value due to the entourage effect.
While research is ongoing, many users report positive effects on their sleep patterns when using CBN.
CBN may reduce sleep disturbance and nighttime awakening, helping you fall asleep faster. This can be particularly beneficial if you struggle with racing thoughts or anxiety at bedtime.
Sleep duration is another area where CBN might offer benefits. It might improve overall sleep quality by increasing the time spent in deep, restorative sleep stages, which are crucial for physical recovery and cognitive function.
Our CBD Sleep Gummies combine CBN (5mg) with CBD (30mg) to enhance sleep-promotion. They are also melatonin-free, so they don’t disrupt your body’s natural production of the hormone.
Instead, they work naturally with your system to help regulate your circadian rhythm. We recommend that you take them consistently to enjoy high-quality sleep from now on.⃰
How Does CBN Work as a Sleep Aid?
CBN primarily binds to CB1 receptors in the brain and central nervous system. This interaction is thought to be behind CBN’s ability to promote sleep.
This cannabinoid may also offer pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory benefits, indirectly improving sleep quality. Chronic pain and inflammation often disrupt sleep patterns, so addressing these issues may lead to more restful nights.
Furthermore, by reducing anxiety—a common barrier to quality sleep—CBN could help you relax and fall asleep more easily. Anxiety is a known sleep disruptor, so keeping it in check undoubtedly enables you to sleep more easily.
Our CBD Gummies offer a blend of cannabinoids that may synergistically promote relaxation and better sleep. They are formulated to melt away feelings of worry, irritability, and negative outlooks.
Our industry-leading formula in these Gummies features ultra-calming cannabinoids CBG and CBN and a specially formulated de-stress blend of botanicals, including St. John’s Wort and chamomile to support mind and body relaxation and target feelings of anxiety for overall mood support. ⃰
Many users report positive experiences with CBN-infused products for sleep. However, everyone’s endocannabinoid system is unique, so you may need to experiment to find the right dosage for your needs.
