Description

There were a couple of Coast Guard Cutters moored at the docks on the Columbia River in Astoria, Oregon while we were there. This one had all these interesting marijuana leaves painted on the side. We asked around and found out each one represented a whole SHIP's worth of pot they busted. That's a lotta joints!! lol

I thought it might have something to do with the devil weed but could imagine what it was. Very interesting picture. This makes them aces six times over. Even though its now legal I suppose smuggling will still get you busted.

Well, for pity's sake. They could just ship it to Colorado and Washington. I'm sure we've got SOME use for the stuff now that it's legal and taxable! :P

Good heavens, I thought it was a sheet of postage stamps at first. Cool and interesting capture of something I didn't know the Coast Guard was into, that is, painting the number of marywarner busts on the cutters, Maz.

great capture, I thought it was an art gallery at first, before reading your description. I didn't know they tallied their 'scores'. I guess the big "X"s would tell us that they were eliminating these. I like how you got the Coast Guard insignia right next to the tallies, because it makes everything look like a big abstract painting in a museum. (NOT what the Guard intended, I'm sure!) Fascinating how this shot goes between being a 'record' of their victories and a piece of abstract art. Another terrific capture from your always keen eye.
