Rick Steves – Stoned? Or Just the Smartest Man on the Planet?

Not Rick Steves

Rick Steves knows a few things about places that exist elsewhere.  These places exist far beyond the furthest WalMart that most of us have only dreamed of visiting.

I once thought that the Walmart in Omak, Washington, had the best $4 dollar plastic storage bins that I’d ever laid eyes on.  These days, the Poulsbo, Washington, location is the Walmart to be seen at.  But their bins cost almost $60 bucks!  Proof positive…that a Walmart segue to another paragraph can be fraught with overpriced plastic crap.

For those of you near Tenino, WA, who’ve never heard of Rick Steves, there’s probably a good reason for that. Rick supports marijuana stores in small towns and he also has a travel empire, where he shows us how to travel beyond the furthest Walmart of our dreams. As you will see at about 35 sec. into the video just below, Rick may or may not be stoned…but he’s certainly been further than the farthest Walmart of our dreams.  Which these days, still makes him one of the smartest men on the planet.
