That is great.  Sent it to the kids, most of whom are out of state now.  That will make them homesick.

"Tulsa is officially the meth capital of the U.S. Authorities recently identified 979 meth labs in the city"
Wrong, and wrong.

QuoteWhen various LEO discovered they could game the system of federal grants by counting any possible containment vessel -- right down to a plastic Pepsi bottle -- as a "meth lab," well...
(and Tulsa PD apparently is more adept at gaming grant money than we knew)

...and exactly what entity bestows the glorious title of "Meth capital"?
