The caramel is going to be my downfall I think. It felt like I could break off just a section. If so, gooey caramel is just fine with me. I need to eat dinner first though.
I think what my daughter's trying to say is: nyah nyah nyah nyah.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Because books.
Amy, on the bright side, at least your town hasn't had 20+ murders in less than a month?
Oh, I know. It's just a little disconcerting when things like that don't usually happen here.

You can.
If so, gooey caramel
And it is. But very yummy.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
20+ murders in less than a month
Yikes. Didn't realize it was quite that bad. I skim the NOLA Ready emails but haven't been counting.
I have a rubber mallet. Handy for pounding my bumper back in, among other things.

I'm sorry, Amy, I didn't mean to sound flip about an understandably upsetting situation. I'm just kind of freaking out about it.
Yikes. Didn't realize it was quite that bad.
Yeah, there was the 13 murders in 13 days, and now there's been 7 murders in 4 days. OMJEEZUS.
No problems in the tourism district, though. I'm pretty sure that's where all the cops are.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jesus, Nora. That's terrible.

It really, really is.

We got under 200 this past year. And I think only 10 so far this year. Yay? Most of the time I've lived here, it ranks pretty close to one a day.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yeah, Jamaica's like that. No one wants to hurt the white tourists. With black tourists, it's nothing particular, but it is hard to tell.
I don't know what the numbers in LA are (or how any of these figure per capita), but speaking of capita, there was that one dismembered guy that somehow felt creepier than so many of the rest...

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Memphis used to do better than one a day on average, which gave my mom fits no matter how much I reassured her that the victims weren't generally people living in secured buildings or out eating at sushi bars and shopping at Macys. Somehow she never worried after college when I lived in a slum next where you'd frequently hear people firing their guns in celebration.
Speaking of Memphis, I made good on my plans to head there for Michael Fassbender Movie Day (both were very good) and then had seared duck breast, leeks, and lemon crème brûlée at Napa Cafe. Ahhh, so good.
