It was purely the best of times. It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking nine. Many years later, as he drank his coffee, Colonel Aureliano Buendía was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to the DMV. Happy families are all alike; unhappy families aren’t.

“We’ll always have Passaic.” “I’m a bit surprised that gambling is going on here.” “Here’s mud in your eye, kid.” “Perform it!” “Major Strasser has been shot. And someone’s responsible!” “I didn’t read the guidebook.” ---

And someone’s responsible!” Isolate the crime scene, bag the victim and remove him to the autopsy room and tell the medical examiner to do a rush on this one, take fingerprints and bag anything and everything that looks like evidence, and look up the criminal record of everyone at the crime scene. Oh, and take that smoking gun out of Rick’s trenchcoat pocket. ---

Houston, that was close but I think we’ve landed. Don’t ask what the country has for you, get off your butt and do something. ---
