From the E-Mailbag…

About eight people so far have written to expand my view of the word, "chronic." One who asked not to be named wrote…

Just FYI, "chronic," as in the tacos you mentioned, means strong and powerful these days. Ask any pot-smoking teen or rapper. They all seek out anything "chronic," sort of like when the expression "bad" suddenly changed to meaning "good."

As anyone doing an impression of Johnny Carson would say, "I did not know that." The smoking of anything — pot, tobacco, hams, etc. — is an area about which I know very little. Thanks to all who wrote in to educate me.
