Josh: Argh, I Just Realized I Have To Come Up With A Post Title Every Damn Time I Want To Say Something

So Racine was just as fabulous as you might have imagined. Luckily I had a tetanus shot before I left Milwaukee. Sad to say my trip was in vain as there was no record of any hit-and-run truck attacks in any way similar to ours.

Mary, I know an ex-truck driver named Todd Cropper who might be able to help in i.d.'ing our perp's ride. He spent a ton on trucking school and then spectacularly failed a drug test after less than a year on the road and lost his CDL. Not the sharpest knife, but he might be able to help. Plus, he's unemployed, so as long as his phone hasn't been disconnected, he'll be available.

Josh: Please Tell Me You're Not Going To Be Titling All Your Posts In Latin

Alright, I can drive down to Racine first thing in the morning (i.e., 11:00AM, grad-student time) and talk to the publishers of the Racine Journal Times. Knowing the fabulous ambiance and atmosphere in Racine, I'll bring along a flak vest and some Lysol.

(At right, a gorgeous view of downtown Racine! Just kidding. Actually, it's a slum in Mumbai, which is far nicer)

As to letting the Private Investigator stay with you... with your personal care worker living-in already it might start getting a bit crowded in there. Not room-wise, necessarily, but just... it worries me to think of all these strangers buzzing around you. Can't you put them up in a hotel instead?

And before you ask/demand: i.e. is short for "id est", Latin for "That is". Origo means "beginning" (root of the word "origin") and Repeto is, I think, "to begin again". Making me decipher Latin and spend time in Racine in the same week qualifies as cruel and unusual punishment.
