Our across the street neighbor saw a drug deal in front of our house on Friday. Car to car deals are all over the *lace in this neighborhood right now. It's quiet, and, exce*t for the visiting drug dealers and clients, safe - they're using the back residential streets.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I am so sorry, Steph

Something I've learned since living in New Orleans - if you have a professional dealer, it's in his or her best interest to keep the business area crime free. This can be useful. (of course, there's a lot there that could go wrong, but a friend of mine swears that petty theft has gone up since the drug dealers got forced out due to gentrification.)

That sounds like us, too. Lots of car to car deals on the side streets.

I don't think our dealers are that smart.

Dealers that use their product generally aren't.

The background of this last call I took was like an episode of Deadwood. I don't think he called his buddy a cocksucker, but the rest of the vocabulary was similar.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I'm so sorry, Steph.

I banked on that when I lived in DC -- I was pretty sure I was safe on this one dark street when the regular dealer was also there.

Well, the dealers up the street don't have a damned impact on the nuisance crime around here (I just found out about them. Explains some things I've seen. And they don't deal here on weekends-that's when the grandmother is home....)

Fuck, looks like I need to do my weekend shopping...tomorrow, because the odds of getting whomped this Friday/Saturday are increasing. Better to go in the middle of the day. And stock up on greens, since my spinach people won't come to market if it gets bad. Uhg. Might as well stock up on baking supplies (I have enough chocolate chips) and cheese and hummus for neighborly commoiserating.
