And Today

[la_samtyr]

Once again I overslept. Damn. I need to work on fic but the neighbor kids have decided to race their fool go-carts and it's too noisy for me to concentrate. So I have to wait until after dark before it's quiet.

Yesterday we had a *big* drug bust here with the city cop, county sheriff and two county deputies. I only wonder where the state and fed boys were; apparently they didn't get an invitation. And just what was this momentous bust, you may ask? Surely a meth lab or a large coke/crack dealer or something of that ilk, right? Um, not quite. It was actually one ditchweed plant that was growing beside some guy's garage, which the guy never chopped down. Seriously. One big ol' ditchweed. Yeah. So the guy is busted, hauled into court, released on an OR and told to cut the damn thing down. (Actually, the cops were supposed to cut it down for evidence but that's a technicality. It's not *really* their job, you see, only enforcing the law.) And then people wonder why I'm paranoid and why I have no respect for a uniform. Gee, I wonder.
