Cannon used to shoot marijuana over border
From The Associated Press
MEXICALI, Mexico - "A powerful improvised cannon was used to hurl packets of marijuana across a border fence into California, police in the border
city of Mexicali say.
The device officers confiscated was made up of a plastic pipe and a crude metal tank that used compressed air from the engine of an old car, police
told the Televisa network.
The apparatus fired cylinders packed with drugs that weighed as much as 30 pounds, police. It was confiscated last week after U.S. officers told
Mexican police that they had been confiscating a large number of drug packages that appeared to have been fired over the border. Mexican police on the
border have recovered a series of similar devices in recent years."

Once upon a time, many years ago...in Coyote Bay.
Speaking of cannons firing weird things....every once in a while when I was inside or on the patio of mi casa, I would hear a distant
'Ka-thump!' and then a loud 'Thud!' on my roof.
It was Crazy Jake, my mountainside neighbor & amigo, firing his souped-up potato cannon from his patio high above me. The dang thing was like a
howizter!
I never had to buy or raise spuds, as long as Jake was zeroing in on my roof. Great times!
Sorry about this little hijack, Gypsy. Say No to Drugs...Yes to Spuds!
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

Is there a market for schwag? Maybe middle-America?
When I see busts showing compressed bricks, I wonder who would be buying this stuff? Anyone know street value?
