Boss stories - mine are out all week: Casual Connect, here in Seattle, and then Comicon (and they're just fans, so they go ZOOM BYE BYE).
Yay. I can get WORK DONE.
Just tryin' a little spicy talk.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
See, this is what happens when we allow teh gays to marry: Monkey Making Out With Cat (VIDEO)
This monkey is either passionately in love with this cat or he's trying to eat the cat's face. Either way it's seriously adorable. We're kind of wondering what the cat is thinking.

Punishingly Intricate
Cocaine still seems to be the drug of choice in NYC, rather than meth.
I'm pretty sure heroin is still the drug of choice here.
My boss is on vacation this week. Everything else is kinda crazy here but at least we have the internet back.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
A free AK-47 with every truck purchase! The reason given for the promotion is Missouri's meth problem. I assume the idea is to defend yourself against drug addicts trying to steal stuff rather than arming people on meth.
Still, my first thought is meth cookers thinking, "Ooooh, something to haul my supplies in and an AK-47."
I think meth is the big drug problem in rural areas because it can be made locally. Places like Hahira are probably not on the cocaine distribution network.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I'm pretty sure you can turn up stories of meth labs in Maine with hardly any Googling at all.
Rural areas having drug problems probably says something about the interplay of opportunity and the racial/ethnic stigma of certain drugs.

This is not what my steady diet of Law & Order franchises over the years has taught me!

More people are killed on Law & Order, CI, and SVU each season than are murdered for real in NYC.

Murder rate in my city was cut in half last year. Went from 2 to 1.
