Lawmakers in Olympia heard debate Wednesday on a couple of marijuana-related bills (Page B1), including one that would legalize, regulate and tax weed.
The measure also would allow pot to be sold at state-owned liquor stores, which would then become the only head shops in the world that aren’t decorated with black light posters and don’t reek of incense.
Wedding in a can: A Spokane couple hope to pay for their upcoming wedding by collecting and recycling aluminum cans (Page A5). Instead of Target and Macy’s, they’re registered with roadside litter pickup crews.
At the ceremony, they’ll seal their vows by placing an empty beer can on the floor and stomping it flat.
Toys in the attic: That tacky plastic toy you should have tossed 20 years ago might just cover your next car payment. One type of monster toy made in Japan back in the 1970s now fetches big bucks at auctions (Antiques &Collectibles, Page D3).
Certain toys made in China are worth a few bucks, too. Lead’s going for about 10 cents per ounce these days.
