Now We Know Why Those Cookies Are So Addicting

You Can't Make This Stuff Up For 071808

Hey folks,

Remember I will not be here at all this Weekend, I will be enjoying my Son Joshua's third Birthday, so I found this and thought it would most definitely apply to the YCMTSU category.

NOW we know why those cookies are so addicting. I love the Thin Mints. One of my other favorites are those with the Coconut. I just can not wait until that time of year. I'm truly addicted to those little boxes of joy that come right to my door. Yup, I'm talking about Girl Scout Cookies. I buy two to four boxes every year. Once the box is open, the box is gone.

I know quite a few people that absolutely love this time of year. Now, most likely for safety reasons, most Girls Scout troops do not come and knock on your door. Here in South Florida, most of the time, you can find them sitting outside of Grocery Stores selling their cookies there. That is even better. You do not have to order and wait. You can buy the boxes right there and go home and enjoy. Or, if you are like me, enjoy on the way home. {Smile}

So why do so many people LOVE them so much? Well, I guess this might answer that long asked question. According to AOL / AP News - Marijuana Farm Busted on Scout Camp

WARSAW, Ind. (July 16) - Police found thousands of marijuana plants being grown in a remote part of a Girl Scout camp, according to court documents and a scout official.

Officials at Camp Ella J. Logan were dismayed when they found out what had happened, said Sherri Weidman, chief executive of the Limberlost Girl Scout Council.

"Oh no. They found our secret ingredient."

Police found the hidden marijuana farm with plants in various stages of cultivation in a wooded swampy area of Kosciusko County, according to documents filed Monday in U.S. District Court in South Bend. Some of the plants were growing on land belonging to a local resident, while the bulk - about 5,000 plants - were growing on camp land. State troopers in an airplane spotted the plots.

Mario Comacho, 44, Mariano Gonzales, 38, and a juvenile were arrested last week after police found the farm. Comacho and Gonzales, both of Goshen, appeared for an initial hearing Monday in federal court on charges of possession of more than 1,000 marijuana plants with the intent to distribute. Neither man had an attorney, according to court documents.

Johnny Coy, who owns part of the land where the pot was found growing, said he wasn't aware of the operation and rarely visits the swampy area.

Weidman said the area was in a remote part of the 220-acre camp accessible only by wading through the muck or taking a canoe. The land was bought by the council to provide a safety buffer, she said.

Parents of campers were informed of the discovery when they picked up their children.

So there you have it folks. It's not your fault. You really ARE addicted to the cookies. Since it is not your fault, feel free to eat all you like. {Smile}

See you tomorrow for the From the Emails Segment.
