Also, it sounds like we need to introduce shrift to Amy's employers.
Too bad Amy still needs the job.
I'm fairly certain I said no interruptions.

Consequence of a small population, I think. Fort Smith may be the second-largest city in Arkansas, but it still has only about 85,000 people total, only about 125,000 in the whole county.
Yet here in Craighead County I was only on the hook for about three weeks last time I was called (and never actually got placed on a jury), and our population is about 3/4 of that in both respects.

Trudy, I hope everything works out. How scary!
Amy, that truly sucks. I hope something way better comes your way soon.

Because books.
Not for nothing, though, shrift's employer has sometimes blocked searches at our office because it detects ... robots? Something?

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
If the local color from first season of Grimm is anything to go by, Portland is an awesome place to live...
yes. yes. and no, it's no an accurater representation of police behaviour in our fine city. Their mangling of our 10-codes has made me cringe more than once.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Too bad Amy still needs the job.
There is that. Maybe later though?

4 years ago was the first night I spent in my house. Coming home from the Y tonight, I introduced myself to the new neighbor 2 houses down and helped him maneuver a HUGE table-sized box into the house. They're doing the big move-in this weekend. I recognized the glazed/stunned look in his eyes. He introduced himself twice in 10 minutes, heh.

Well, when Amy's found a new job I probably could pass along a tip with information that just magically fell into my lap to our team that works with law enforcement.

conseula, the downside for Portland would obviously be having to move. The upside is that home sales in CA are taking roughly 2.5 months because inventory is so low, so if you had to sell your place, it would probably go fast.
Also, other upsides to Portland: McMenamans, Voodoo Donuts, and Le Bistro Montage for cajun food.
